This sandal should be comfortable. It is very lightweight, padding around the foot is ample and breathable. There are 2 downsides: 1) the leather feels cheap and doesn't have the right give which leads to 2) the particular orientation of the front of the sandal, for my foot, feels as though it cuts off the circulation to my toes with each step. It's just a little bit of pressure but on toes it feels awful. My foot is not very big, not thick, not longer than normal. I've found that most Sketchers shoes have the same problem for me. If you don't have this problem with other Sketchers then you will be fine with this sandal
