I purchase a pair of these sandal about 3 week ago on sale at a sport store , and so far I have take they on about 3 or 4 good hike and they have be awesome . I actually suffer from really bad heel pain from tightness in my calf and so far these sandal have almost eliminate any long walk pain I might suffer from due to the great arch support and the soft foot pad . the sandal fit very well , I wear a 11 and purchase a 11 in the sandal and they fit perfectly . I do not have any issue with dye wear off on my color and the glue and stitching , so far , seem very secure . the tie seem to hold pretty well at present and the sandal be very easy to take on and off with or without be tight to the foot . all in all I have very pleased with this purchase . if I have to complain about anything at the moment I would have to say that the heel strap and arch support do take some get use to . I just have to tough it through a little foot soreness at first until my foot get use to they . but this be my first kind of these sandal I have ever own . also , I notice that my little toe have the potential to be rub a little sore on the top due to the placement of the opening above the toe . however , I do have oddly shaped foot with much longer big toe than little toe so that could be the problem ... and these sandal will get stinky , so buy some deodorizer , otherwise you family will leave you at home when they go place . in conclusion , I really like these sandal .
