These look even better in real life.  Very handsome.  A small but important detail. A lot of sandals pinch between the toes but these are nicely cushioned there without looking clunky.  We had a big rain the first day I wore these and, even running through puddles, these maintained my balance very well.  I was pleasantly surprised that the grips on the top and the bottom of the sandal body are very good.  I'm very happy with the purchase.  And so is my roommate.  He won't stop wearing them despite owning sandals that cost twice as much.
