For the price, I have nothing to complain about these shoes.  They were comfortable, even without socks - for a while. They are plastic, so after awhile the straps started digging into my skin.  I wore them dancing and they held up.  The buckles are very cheap.  The hook part of the buckle fell out on both shoes somewhere along the line, but they stayed closed just by threading the strap through the buckle.  I don't know how they would do on a long walk.  I will probably buy another pair in a different color.
