I initially purchased a pair of these in pewter (gold/silver) from Famous Footwear and just love them!  I plan to wear those in Europe next month.  So, I noticed the price on amazon was a lot lower and I figured I better buy a brown pair too.  These are very cushioning for walking.  I have problem feet (falling arches) and these are the only "regular" sandals I can wear. I normally have to buy orthaheel sandals.  But, since these sandals have straps all around the ankle and foot area AND a toe post is included, it greatly contributes to the stability while walking. Walking on rocks or uneven surfaces are a breeze in these sandals too.  They are really very cute on, and should compliment just about anything you wear.  Also, there are more reviews on this shoe at famous footwear's website, and an online video on YouTube, that might help prospective buyers in their purchase decision.  Highly recommend.
