I enjoy flip-flops and sandals in the summer but sometimes I want the feel of something light without looking like a total beach bum. These shoes fit the bill perfectly. They are lightweight, comfortable and stylish. Perfect summer shoes for just about any occasion. Note that they tend to run slightly big. I'm an 11.5 in just about every shoe but since there were no half-sizes I had to decide between the 11 and 12. I ended up ordering both pairs in order to try them on and the 11s were just right--especially since they tend to stretch out over time.
