I cannot praise these sandals enough. I do a lot of walking, hours every day, much of it on dirt trails and uneven surfaces and these sandals stay comfortable all day. They feel like comfortable runners made into sandals. I have 3 pairs now (2 blues and a black) and basically lived in them all summer. The sole has barely worn and they stay firm on my feet on uneven surfaces.The look is also very stylish - which is unusual for wide fitting shoes with Velcro straps. There isn't a huge strip of Velcro showing when you loosen them off like so many other Velcro shoes. So I can actually when them for neat casual events, not just walking. The blue suede has gotten a little dirty in the inner sole from all my bush walking, although the outside parts clean up really well with suede cleaner. I did end up buying a second pair of blue so I had one less dirty pair to wear out. Only warning - don't wear the blue in the rain, the dye comes off a little. The first pair of blue I brought were more of a denim colour, my latest pair is closer to the picture.
