Bought these in brown last year, and will soon be buying them again in black this year. The suppleness and cushioning with the leather on the footbed just feels divinely comfortable against barefeet. The straps are firm and secure, perfectly, anatomically, holding your feet in the correct place; like high performance barefoot running sandals. Furthermore, that design specifically is exactly how your feet are supposed to be secured in footwear dating back to ancient biblical times. There is real science behind the lateral traction, toe splaying, grounding effects, along with the heel and arch functional design. The break-in period for these high quality, firm, well constructed straps to mold and mesh seemlessly with your feet are well worth the effort in time. I'd suggest you start by just wearing them around your home for an hour each day for a week, then increasing that by an additional hour each subsequent week. At or just after the sixth week they should be thoroughly comfortable overall to wear everywhere all day long. Absolutely ideal for every warm sunny day to come, your body will thank you, and you should receive plenty of compliments! Generously apply buttercream to your feet before bed each night. And pass all this advice here onto other's inquiries accordingly. Enjoy!

Need to break in but once my toes are used to it they are stylish and comfortable.

Love them as I bought them in black and brown. Love the quality and the style.

I typically wear 9-10 in women's shoes and with sandals I order tens. These were unusually large which was such a disappointment because the sandals are absolutely beautiful. I had to return and very hesitant to try another size.

The sandal is beautiful but the leather that goes between your toes is unusually thick and uncomfortable.

What a shame - I just used the search bar to search for "sandals" after seeing these on a female model with a long dress and not seeing them offered under women's shoes. Usually I'm more perceptive, but the minimalist perfection and being just what I was looking for made me prematurely pull the trigger and order without a second thought. Color me surprised when I put them on in what I thought was my size and they looked like snow shoes, haha. Release these in smaller sizes and I'll buy all the colors - thanks!
