I received these sandals in the mail today.  While I haven't worn them outdoors yet, they are keepers.  They are extremely comfortable.  They are easy to walk in because:  (1) the heel isn't high--they are just high enough to present the kind of lift you want to see when you wear certain dresses; skirts; pants etc. Also, with the half-wedge feature you can walk or dance more without losing your balance.

(2) The leather strap going across the front is wide so there is no issue with one or more skinnier straps digging in to your toes throughout the day (3) The bed of the sandal has some nicely placed cushioning which makes walking in them (I walked all over the house--up and down stairs) so comfortable. The leather is soft and the edges don't dig in to my skin.  I feel this sandal is a must have staple for the warmer months since it provides the class, comfort, style and support you want especially if you need to grab and go.  While these sandals are top notch in my opinion, I do feel if you have a very skinny foot (my foot is regular or average--not wide; not skinny), the strap in the back might drift down just a bit.

However, the strap which crosses the instep is cleverly connected with the back strap which appears to control the drift-factor.  The front and instep straps alone keep this sandal secure (there is a well constructed elastic portion in the back strap). I would highly recommend this sandal.
