My husband has the worst feet on earth. Fallen arches, plantar fasciitis, pulled Achilles. He put these sandals on and walked all day pain free. Nice LEATHER footbed that is soft and cushiony, adjustable straps lined with soft foam, and spongy shock absorbing sole. Yes, they’re more expensive. But you get what you pay for. His last pair of Josef Seibel sandals lasted nine years. Great quality sandal.
