These are probably good sandals for a majority of buyers, but for my feet they don't work. Heel design provides a lot of cushioning, but too much for me. The toe strap is apparently faux leather and rough. Straps are loose for my narrow feet so should be okay for all but those with very wide feet. Had to return them. Reverting to Reef's Smoothy sandal, versions of which I've worn for years, which has nylon straps and good arch support. Disclaimer: Not affiliated in any way with the Reef company.
