I had a very bad ingrown toenail removed and couldn't wear normal shoes afterwards, so I these sandals to wear until it healed. I was very surprised at how comfortable and light they are, and how much cushioning there was on the heel. This was especially nice for me as I was purposefully walking on the heel of the foot with the injured toe, and I could do that for a long time without becoming uncomfortable.

The other thing I really like is the smooth thong part that actually goes between the toes. It doesn't have any sharp edges or rough texture to irritate. I've been wearing these at least 10 hours a day (not walking constantly, but fairly often) and I haven't had any irritation between my toes, or under the strap. Highly recommended.
