I have have several sandal in the past , and these Rainbow Westcape sandal be one of the best I have have . the entire footbed be a soft cushion for you foot . I have develop a painful bone spur right on the heel of my right foot just before I get the sandal . these sandal be perfect for cushion the impact of my foot with the bone spur . the sandal make walk much better . I be not a fan of sandal with a toe separator . the nylon toe separator take a while to get use to , and be not that comfortable at first . however , once I get use to it and callus up , I really like these sandal . I would also say the sizing be really perfect , so when I order a size 9 , its what you expect . however , the heel of my foot just barely fit onto the sandal because the toe separator keep my foot in a certain position on the sandal . I might go for a half size larger if I could , but they do not make half size . so if that might bother you or you want a little bit more material around the heel , you might want to go a size up . in addition , in comparison to my sister 's Rainbow Sandals , which be leather , these sandal have no break in period , and be comfortable right out of the package . fantastic sandal so far , and I would highly recommend these sandal to a friend . they be waterproof and feel like you be walk on cushion . let see if these Rainbow rubber sandal last as long as they traditional leather sandal .
