I bought my Dozers after having owned a different style of sandals without closed toes.  I was working for a veterinarian at the time as a veterinary technician.  As you can imagine, I worked long hours on my feet in all kinds of slippery situations and I was often found running after dogs and cats that would have preferred that I not treat them.  And these sandals were amazing!

I've owned 3 pairs of these and I'm still wearing my original pair I bought and wore everyday for a year.  I love them to death.  My first pair is a little worn around the edges, but they are still great for hiking, shopping, whatever.  They've worn amazingly well and still have lots of tread even though I wear them primarily for walking on asphalt, concrete and the like.

I also had chronic back pain before I bought these which has all but disappeared.  I can stand for 8+ hours and never have any backpain.  They are also wonderful for those with awful balance, like myself.  They are super grippy and I've never slipped in them.

Overall, these sandals are comfy, resilient, breathable, and a good all-around shoe.  I also get lots of compliments on them!
