I be over 62 year of age and have always make it a rule to NEVER wear sandal . I always think they look silly wand I do not like the feel of wear shoe without sock . but we be get ready to take another cruise and I be look for a all purpose `` water shoe '' or something that I could get wet and sandy and still be able to walk comfortably while on shore excursion or shopping . I find these and read the review -lrb- more positive than negative -rrb- and decide to take a chance on they . I have always have good experience buy from Amazon partner and this be no exception . the quality , of the sandal , be first class as well as the comfort wet or dry . it take some time to get use to wear they -lrb- about 5 minute -rrb- . I end up wear they almost everywhere both onboard the ship and off the ship . I can not wait for summer so that I can start wear they again . I highly recommend they . Make sure you follow the size recommendation before you order . Order a half size larger than you would normally wear . if I ever wear they out , I will certainly buy another pair .
