"I love bear traps. I like to be fashionable, but gravitate towards comfort, and these are both. I get so many compliments wearing these sandals. I actually bought them thinking I didn't need them, and now they're all that I wear. The straps were uncomfortable at first, and then I quickly realized that if I keep them looser, they still stay on and don't hurt at all. The perfect summer sandal that matches with everything (I have the lighter tan color). Love these!"
