I use these sandals mostly to guard at an indoor facility but I do wear them for virtually everything else such as walking around the pool decks at school and taking them with me to the showers.
I don''t tend to spend a lot of cash on sandals but that was before I realized that sandals can have similar attributes to shoes! I wore these right out of the box to my 5-hour lifeguarding shift and my feet felt like they were on clouds.
I was impressed by the squishy squishy-ness of the sandal and the straps did not dig into my skin at all. I have flat feet so I can barely tell if it gives good arch support but it doesn''t hurt that the sandal is a bit thicker, with contours that shape to your foot like a glove. Or a sock, in this case.
The grip on the soles is fair to good, but silly me, I wore these sandals outside in normal everyday use and I nearly slipped on icy pavement. Everywhere else I walk the grip is good (where I previously would have slipped, now with these sandals I have more connection to the ground!)
I hated that the only available color was the brown pair, but I needed sandals asap for lifeguarding because my previous pair broke down.
It''s only been two weeks but love these already and I may get another pair in a different color if they ever get restocked.
