I rarely buy expensive shoe , and I have never buy shoe online before . I need a pair of sandal I could hike in . I hate sneaker . I hate sock . these shoe be highly review , so I think I would try they . the fit be great . the ball of the foot\/toe area be quite roomy , but not so loose as to cause chafing . the insole be supportive in just the right place , soft , springy , very nice to walk on . these shoe breath . I be worry that a closed toe would leave my foot hot , but somehow , it feel like there be a breeze blow through my foot . also , these shoe be perfectly true to size . I be a absolute 7.5 m. 8 's be too big , 7 's be too small . this 7.5 shoe fit I perfectly . my only regret -- they be really too casual to wear to the office .
