This style of sandal is very comfortable.  However, I am very disappointed with this sandal IN THE COCOA COLOR -- the leather used for the straps was very flimsy and stretchy.  The middle straps that criss-cross were too loose and bulged.  I exchanged the Cocoa sandals twice but the problem persisted.  Thanks to Amazon for exchanging the Cocoa pair twice for me - so disappointed the Cocoa didn't work out. FYI, I had also ordered the same sandal in the Stucco (off white) color and am very happy with them -- the leather is firm and the straps hug my feet comfortably.
