I walked in these sandals for probably five hours straight without experiencing any feet pain/irritation whatsoever. They are decent walking sandals for flat or grassy surfaces. They're not ideal for uneven or rocky surfaces; the soles are too thin for that. With cancles,  I have difficulties finding slingback sandals that don't highlight them so much. These work against my cancles only slightly. The are my favorite lightweight, stylish, go-to sandals for walking in (although they are not actually an ideal pair of walking sandals). I bought these in black on Amazon, and I have a pair of nude ones that were purchased elsewhere. I like the nude ones more cause the contrast with the white dashes is more subtle and soft looking than the black ones.
