text: Second best sandal I've had in MY LIFE!<br /><br />Downside is sweaty-foot slide.  I usually go for Merrells or Birkenstocks because they have that nubuck/suedeish material on the inside.  I hate the squeaky slip i get on really sweaty days--BUT, the straps keep me secure enough that I know I won't slip out of the shoe.  I have worn these all day long and my feet feel just as good as when I started.  I take them hiking, to the river, to the beach, on random city walks-- everywhere!  I should buy another pair.  Actually, I'm going to right now.
