I had already seen these sandals being worn by a friend of mine, and loved them even though I have real issues with height on any shoes. She informed me that it was like wearing a pair of slippers they were so comfortable. After years of avoiding the pain of high heels/wedges I purchased a pair, guess what she was right, I have never worn sandals as comfortable. Well cushioned on the insole, very sturdy when walking, I love them.
