I have several pairs of toe sandals, and these are by far my favorites.  They seem sturdier and more able to last that the others, and they are nicer looking.

The posts are thicker, and while they take a bit more getting used to, they are actually more comfortable and more effective in the long run than the usual elastic bands that are on toe sandals.

You really can tell a difference in leg and back pain after you acclimate to these sandals.  (Note that you may feel worse for a day or two,but if you persevere it will be worth it.)  I can go up and down the stairs without pain now, and before I whined the whole way.
