"I bought these sandals to take with me to Turkey for 2+ weeks. I have a number of foot issues, so I was concerned with the amount of walking/hiking I knew would be involved with this travel. Nothing ruins a great trip faster than aching, painful feet! These sandals were perfect. So comfortable, and the ability to adjust Velcro straps across foot and toes was an added bonus I had not previously considered (feet swell in excess heat!). Traction going up/down slopes was actually really good too. And I have to add...they are not as "ugly" as some of the much more expensive sandals I considered. Great price."
