I finally ordered these sandals after forever having them in my cart. I am just really cheap about buying certain things. I have gone through about five pair of sandals in the last few years; they break, they wear, they become uncomfortable, whatever. The only pair of sandals that have lasted (actually for about 13 years now) is this cheap rubber pair someone lost at Hanalei bay, Kaua'i. At least I thought the found sandals were cheap, but man they have outlasted some other pricey sandals. Anyway, I have been looking for a nicer pair to kind of class up my act. I came across the Olukai brand at a shop and looked them up on Amazon. These are some smart-looking sandals. I love the look of these, so I sat on the $130 price tag, and sat, and sat. Then, just the other day, I must have been in a buying mood, I bought these. Almost all I can say is "OMG". I generally don't like toe thongs, but these aren't too bad (actually easy for me to get used to). I wore them for an hour or so to check them out. When I took them off, the floor felt funny beneath my feet; Felt like I was tipping. Having figured out what was happening, I found it to be the sandal design, and not because I ate some fermented beverage. The heel of the sandal tip me slightly forward, while the sides are built to tip you slightly toward your insole. The feeling is delicious. It is almost as if these sandals are helping me walk with a better gait. I wear a size 10.5 (in Nike) to size 10.5D to 11D ( in cowboy boots) and bought these in a size 11. Whatever the case, these sandals look great, feel great, are made of super quality material, are very sturdy, and are well worth me cashing in my coins to pay a little extra for some quality footwear. I LOVE these, and will keep working on getting use to the toe thong until I don't feel it anymore. I highly recommend this brand...and these particular sandals.
