The arch support in these sandals is excellent, and they are nice-looking, as well.  However, I don't like the surface.  I use cream on my feet after showering each morning, and I slide around in these sandals, so I tried them without the foot cream…STILL slippery!  I have worn them, so I will take the financial hit, but it is a big one.  I will probably wind up using them as pool sandals, but I will completely dry my feet so I don't go backside over teakettle!<br />I will try them for a while, and I will change my review if things improve!
