I had to return these, but I am not sure I should blame the sandals for the issue I had. I have flat feet, and so I was looking forward to the arch support. Unfortunately, the shape of the sandals did not match the shape of my flat feet very well and so I was left with pressure points in a couple of places that would rub and irritate me as I walked around.<br /><br />I was also surprised by the weight of these sandals. Note that the sole on these things is built like that on a hiking boot. It is solid and heavy.
