At $56 and all of the raving 5-star reviews, I had high hopes for a comfortable pair of sandal. These do not deliver. They're not comfortable at all!!!! Both the straps and the base are made out of some hard rubber, and I tried breaking them in for 3 weeks to no avail. I'm giving up on them. I ended up purchasing these flip-flops instead [[ASIN:B008KK1I0I Clarks Women's Breeze Sea Flip Flop,Coral,6 M US]] and they are much much better. A waste of $56!
