I use these as my regular shoes all year. The mid sole is very cushy - nice. The buckle closure is super. I would like the outer sole and arch to be a bit heavier like my old Tevas (model long since forgotten). Some times bits of strap fabric fold under and have to be straightened out.
These are the best out of the box sandals in the world. Set your straps, clip, go. I hike miles in mine everyday. My only complain is I have a heavy heel strike and I wear down the outer sole. But I do that with all my shoes. The padding on the straps is amazing. I can blast through water or dew covered grass and comfortably continue all day. If anyone ever has problem with nasty smell just soak them in mouthwash for 20 minutes then let dry. Easy as that. Amazing sandals!!!!
