buy these shoe for beachwear and I love they . look great and fit great . feel kind of funny on the sole of you foot . they have little ridge and bump on the foot bed that you have to get use to . I really do not like the feel on the bottom of my foot but sand get inside too and I do not like the feel of that either BUT they be a open shoe and I know that when I buy they . all in all they be a classy look pice of footwear .
