I saw and tried these sandals on at REI but wasn't ready to make the financial commitment (a bit pricey if you ask me) to purchase them at the time.  But, I'm so glad I finally did via Amazon!  These are so comfortable and can be worn with skirts and they look so 'Patagonia'-ish.  Very cool sandals with great comfort and style.  If you are scared off by the price tag just remember how long these babies will last!  These are a great summer investment for the outdoorsy ladies out there!
