Had been looking quite awhile for a flip-flop sandal that was a tad dressier to wear with maxi dress.  This one was exactly what I was looking for but I had not purchased an Eastland shoe before so was concerned about comfort.  (I prefer to spend more $ for a super  comfortable shoe than buy a cheaper, uncomfortable shoe).  I will not say these are the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned but they aren't uncomfortable either.  Since the style was so hard to find I am willing to live with an ok shoe.  Part that annoys me the most if the leather between the toes ... the rest of the shoe is extremely comfortable.  The left shoes toe leather sits a little weird but the right shoe is fine.  So - might be a unique situation with my particular pair of shoes.
