These sandals were great - the first two times I wore them.  They were the most comfortable hiking shoe I had ever worn, in fact.  Sadly that did not last, and on the third time hiking in them whatever padding existed on the heel completely disintegrated and the shoe began digging into my heel to the point of bleeding.<br /><br />Very disappointed in the quality of product I have received, I hiked less than ten miles in these and they are already unwearable.  For the price point I feel that I should have received a product with much more life.
