I have another pair of these shoes, which I still wear daily, after 3 years.  They are so durable, but thought I'd like another 'newer' pair, which fit great, but seem to hug the toe a little tighter than the first pair I have. A lady asked me how I liked that type that surrounds the toe and I told her they stay on much better than the 'flip flop' type.  Much easier for me to keep on my feet as I am 79 years old and don't need a loose sandal.
