text: I always ordered the Hollyleaf sandals in the past and loved them. They are comfortable, have great arch support, and are pretty enough to wear just about everywhere. I couldn't find that style this year and I got these as a replacement (I was wearing the Hollyleaf sandals year-round and almost every day here in California.) I don't like this style nearly as much, and I finally figured out that Terran Post is much closer to Hollyleaf.<br /><br />With this style of sandal, the ribbed fabric that runs through the buckle also runs down along the toe support, and I find it rubs my toe in an annoying way. In addition, the fabric across the top of the arch covers more of the top of the foot than with the other types, and I don't like that as well. The sandal looks and feels clunky. Finally, I bought the blue/turquoise color, and the foot bed was stained and dirty after the first wearing, so they now don't look nice enough to wear for anything other than outdoor activities.<br /><br />I recommend the Terran Post instead - it's more comfortable and the gray foot bed doesn't seem to attract or show dirt nearly as easily as this model.
