I bought these sandles for a gift for my bridemaid's to wear during the reception.  I had owned reef sandles before and they were very comfortable so I thought these would be also.  The sandle itself is very pretty and comfortable but the strap that goes between the toes is the part that starts to hurt after awhile.  I tested them out before I gave them and after a couple hours I had to take them off.  So I will be going with a different pair for the gift.  But it your going somewhere and have the option of sitting, these sandles are great.
