text: I am very particular about shoes, especially sandals. I returned 6 different pairs of Tevas and other more expensive athletic sandals. I am keeping these! I have only worn them a few times, so can't speak to longterm use yet, but the support and comfort is excellent! I am a teacher and always on my feet. All summer I wear supportive running shoes and the transition back to school shoes is torture. This year I have tried to find a sandal that I can wear all day that is as comfortable as a running shoe. This one is the best I have tried. Also, it looks nice enough to wear with skirts and dresses at school, at least for my casual style. I am really happy with this purchase (which is saying a LOT for me). The price is surprisingly reasonable for the quality.
