text: I bought these to replace a pair that  had worn out. I was excited to see they still had the same style, because they were very comfortable, and I got many compliments on them. These are not the same as the earlier pair. They don't fit as well. The straps seem to be a little bit shorter, making them a tight fit, the heel isn't as comfortable and they don't seem to have as much support in the foot bed. They feel like flipflops. My feet are tired at the end of the day wearing these. My old ones were so comfortable that I could be on my feet and wear them for an extended time without discomfort. I noticed the old ones were manufactured in China, the new ones in Viet Nam. Perhaps there have been tiny design changes that add up to a not-quite-as-good sandal. Time to shop for a brand of sandals that offers better quality and more comfort.
