The shoe is beautiful smooth leather and an attractive classic style.  I've had a pair of walkstar fitflops with the thong that rubbed blisters between my toes but I kept wearing them cuz I love the sole. They actually helped my sprained ankle to heal. I wanted to try a slide.  This shoe, for me, was too narrow and too long.  I have had better success with the Lulu weave slide in an 8.  I wear an 8.5 wide shoe.  I love Prime, cuz then I can try on several pairs to see if they fit.
