I purchased these to wear when I'm outdoors, camping and paddle boarding. I usually have to wear running shoes with orthotics because of my plantar fasciitis, and I wanted to be able to wear sandals this summer that have the support I need. I've worn them around the campsite, on the paddle board and everywhere else and I have not had any problems with my foot!
These are now go to summer sandals replacing 2 pairs of Merrells ! The adjustable straps over the toes and around the ankle are perfect but the clincher for me is the support. And.... I can leave them on when I douse my toes in the chilly Pacific !!!
I picked this sandal for the sole. It wasn't quite what I wanted. When I got it and adjusted the straps to fit my foot, there is a place on my ankle that doesn't fit well. The strap bubbles out. In spite of that, I wear them all the time. The velcro straps are great and the sole is the one I wanted.
