THREE HEEL SPUR OPERATIONS STOPPED MY JOGGING DAYS. FINDING A SANDAL WITH A FULL HEEL COVERING, A SANDAL WITHOUT AN OPEN FRONT OVER THE TOES, DURABLE, COMFORTABLE AND A VELCRO STRAP THAT WILL LAST THE LIFE OF THE SHOES WAS MY GOAL. THIS IS THE SANDAL THAT DOES IT ALL. IN FACT I NOW WEAR THEM ALL YEAR ROUND AND HAVE PURCHASED NUMEROUS PAIRS. WATCH THE OFFERS BECAUSE WHEN THERE ARE SPECIALS YOU CAN SAVE A BUNDLE.
