I ordered these shoes because I needed really suportive dress sandals. Not only do these sandals have minimal arch support, they absolutely tore my feet up. The straps might as well be made out of sandpaper. They made cuts all over my feet after a few minutes casually walking in my neighborhood. I couldn't even make it home, I had to stop in a bookstore and buy a pair of flip flops just to get home. I was ready to go barefoot in the street if this wasn't an option. I couldn't recommend these shoes less. A month later I still have scars on my feet.
