It all started when I was looking for the “perfect” pair of shoes to bring on a Florida trip. I only wanted to bring ONE pair, so they had to be versatile, comfortable, and waterproof. These looked like they fit the bill, so I took a gamble on them - and boy, did it pay off!Sizing:These are marked as a size 8.0 - 9.0They measure approximately 10 1/2” from heel to toe, and approximately 3 3/4” at the widest part of the sole.Fit:For reference, I'm a true size 9 (average width)Length-wise, they fit just fine; my heels don't hang off the backs.Width-wise, they're a little snug (on me), and take some light shimmying to get into. However! I think the shimmying has more to do with the material, than the width.If you're a wide size 9, I recommend going up a size! If you're an 8.0 - 8.5, I feel these would fit fine.Comfort:I wore these 24/7 on that aforementioned Florida trip. Never once did I feel rubbing or any sort of discomfort. No blisters or anything! The moderate arch support and small heel are fantastic, and much more comfortable than your typical flip-flop or espadrille.Material Make:Sand, grass, pavement, walking, lounging, dining, driving, shopping, chasing toddlers - you name it, and these sandals held up. The hard rubbery material makes them super easy to clean, too.Other reviewers mentioned a visible manufacturing seam; there is in fact a seam, but it's on the inward facing (right side) part of the shoes. It doesn't effect wear at all, and isn't really that noticeable.I can't speak for all pairs, but mine at least have held up great. No breaks, cracks, or even shearing of the plastic have occurred.Style:I find the design to be flattering; They make my Romanesque Peggy Hill Hobbit feet look normal. These go with practically anything, and you can dress them up or down.Overall:If you're looking for something comfortable, versatile, and waterproof, I highly recommend giving these a try!
