"I bought these as a comfy pair of dressy sandals with the hopes of using them on vacations with my husband (which I lovingly refer to as "Death March across Rome," "Death March across Paris," etc.). I tested them on a trip to the mall, and with about an hour's wear and not a lot of walking, I could safely say the bed of the shoe cushioned my foot well, but I had terrible blisters on both my little toes due to rubbing of the straps. Knowing this, I may be able to still use them with some strategically placed Blist-O-Ban bandages as a preventive measure, but I doubt these will be traveling with me. The search for comfy white dress sandals continues!"
