text: I *really* wanted to like these shoes. The reviews on here and other sites were pretty good- I'm going on vacation and needed a sandal that would stay on, that would support my feet when I was walking around all day, and that I could wear to the beach and water park without worry.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I can't testify as to the durability in water, as these shoes definitely won't make it that far.<br /><br />When I first put them on they were comfortable, and reasonably attractive- they are very well made, and very adjustable to fit (although I'm a size 10, I found a 10 in these was a bit long for my foot). However, after less than 20 minutes walking around my house, the front of my arch (just before the ball of my foot) began to hurt- I mean, it ACHED- I couldn't stand it, and had to remove them. I have a pretty normal arch, and I just don't think there's enough support for people like me.<br /><br />Bottom line- 2 stars instead of one because of how well made and adjustable they are.<br /><br />Hey, if you have a flat or nonexistent arch, definitely try this shoe!<br />Otherwise, don't waste your money on these-they are a big disappointment.
