I bought these for an upcoming vacation in the Caribbeans that will involve lots of walking and wanted something comfortable but moderately stylish that I can wear with anything from shorts to dresses (to replace the multiple pairs of shoes I usually take because I'll be traveling with carry-on only this time).  The sole & foot bed are comfortable, light weight, quiet, and fit my feet perfectly. The toe straps are positioned high enough that they don't cut into my toes when I walk.  The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is the style is a little old-ladyish.  The color selections weren't great either.  The burnt-red and tan leather really looked old-ladyish.  If they weren't a bargain $40 when I bought them, I would have opted for a more stylish (and more expensive) Born or Clark's Indigo.
EDIT: having walked, hiked, and danced in these on my 2-week trip, I'm upgrading them to 5 stars. Never had a problem with them.  When they got muddy from a hike, I washed them and they dried overnight.
