this sandal have the potential to be very comfortable , but there be definitely a not-so-comfortable `` break in '' period to work through at first . now that I be near the end of break it in , it be promise to be a sandal I wear regularly . I originally purchase the exact sandal in a woman 's large -lrb- in accordance with my foot and typical shoe size -rrb- , but opt for the man 's medium because it offer a wider fit that be more agreeable to my foot size . overall , glad I make the purchase . just do not be discourage by the initial discomfort .
