I had extensive back surgery and am unable to bend. The Velcro closures are really easy to fasten. Also all the other Velcro adjustable straps allow a customized fit. The arch. Support and the back heel strap make the sandal even more comfortable. Definitely a quality shoe
I walked in the Tirra sandal every day for 5 months straight while traveling in Italy and Thailand - on cobblestones roads and muddy jungles. Never had a blister, always felt comfortable. Just bought my 2nd pair.
