I bought these sandals 2 weeks ago. Customer service was very good.
I took them to walk the South West Coastal Path so was immediately walking about 14 miles a day in them across all terrains. I did this for 3 days out of the 5 I walked.
The positives are that the sandal is comfortable and gripped pretty well across stone, grass, mud, sand and usual paved surfaces.
The sole is not quite as thick as I expected, but flexes well so you can walk through your foot, almost as if barefoot.
On the not-so-good, they are only adjustable on the first strap across the top of your foot, not behind your ankle or across the widest part of your foot at the base of your toes. I am narrow around the ankle so found they slipped slightly there, and I’m wide across the other part of my foot.
I discovered that they blister if you get them wet too. I had to walk across a rivulet and soon had a big blister on my bunion bone. Because the strap couldn’t be loosened there I then couldn’t wear them the next day which was frustrating. Previously I had much cheaper sandals with 3 adjustable straps that never blistered wet or dry.
All in all, a comfortable sandal that coped well with long walks in the dry, but the lack of adjustability was frustrating and I would be wary of wearing them in the wet again – if it looks like rain take plenty of good quality blister plasters!
I had the first pair for over 10 years, bought them on sale at tkmax because they were going cheap (best buy ever) and when they eventually gave up the ghost (and after few months of trying to mend them with superglue) I had to buy another pair.
The only pair of shoes that I could wear without an excruciating pain at night after doing 3000, 5000, 10000 and subsequently 20000 steps a day. They are Rolls Roys of walking sandals.
Have worn this sandal for years.
Good support around the foot in the right places
Used for hiking trails and street sandal. Hard wearing soles and feels bouncy without a bounce. Adjustable uppers, I have slim narrow feet but these can adjust to slightly winder.
Good price, can pay 90 so this a good deal.
I’d say the most comfortable sandals I’ve ever owned.
I’ve worn them on a few short walks already and I wasn’t disappointed.
Time will tell if they wear well, but at the moment I have no reason to doubt they will.
Amazon tells me that I bought my last pair of these in 2011. In the intervening time, these have been my go-to sandal for every summer and every holiday; supremely comfortable as a walking shoe, and good-looking enough that I don’t mind wearing them with a sun dress. Can’t really grumble about the price per wear over 12 years; repurchasing, because the sole has finally started to crumble. The sandal itself is still fine.
