I have extremely wide foot -lrb- I generally need a 5e -rrb- , and when these shoe come they be quite tight . I need they , and since I could cram my foot into they , I decide to take a chance and bring they along on a camping trip . the gamble pay off , because they loosen up enough that I be able to wear they reasonably comfortably . that be a good thing , because it pour rain off and on all week , and I would have be miserable with leather sandal . I have only have they for a couple of week , so I can not say how well they will hold up , but they seem fairly sturdy . they be a lightweight shoe , kind of like Crocs , but a bit more stylish in they shape . people I know who have get Crocs can wear they for several year , and the texture of the material these be make out of seem similar , so I expect they will last for as long . they do loosen up after they have be wear for a while , so do not be too worried if they seem tight when you first get they . if you can stand to wear they for a while , they will get more comfortable as you wear they .
