My family calls them "old lady shoes".  I wanted a sandal that I could wear all day sight seeing without feeling any discomfort.  I had read in previous reviews the ankle strap was a bit tight for women who have a high arch.  I have a high arch, but decided to still give the shoe a try.  I like the idea of the cushioned sole.  I hope the manufacture, will consider a longer ankle strap, it wouldn't have to be much... perhaps a half inch to three quarters of inch longer would be great.
