The jury is still out on this one.  Very funky.  If you have an ugly big toe, these are the sandals for you!  Definitely a "sporty" look to them, not dressy at all.  They scream "I am an outdoorsy type person".  I bought them to replace my worn out water sandals, but am undecided if these will be a good fit for the water.  They will probably stay on if walking along a wet sandy beach, but not sure about swimming in them.  But for the price, I had to give them a try.
