Super comfy and good looking sport sandals!
Amazingly comfortable sandals! I was choosing sport sandal for summer activities, such as hiking and walking on the beach or in the mountains.I needed non-slippery footbed (not plastic one) and little cushioning. The color was also very important for me - I prefer beige or any light color in the summer. I was choosing between Teva and Columbia, but these were on special price - and I decided to give it a try.I usually wear 8,5 or 39 European size in all my shoes and sandals. After reading reviews I chose size 8 in these sandals.It fits me perfectly!The footbed is cushioned enough, I feel like walking on the cloud! For such a good price I didn't expect this much comfort!The sole is very flexible, but seems solid.I bought also Columbia Sportswear Women's Saturday Trail II Knee Pant in Fossil color. The color is matching.However, please note - these sandals only for narrow feet.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable and cute

I love these shoes, they provide comfortable support and look cute. They are easy to adjust for wider feet. My only complaint is that they are a little long in the toe area and fit like a 9, instead of size 8 which is what I ordered. Due to the longer toe area I could use a 7.5 but they are not available in half sizes. This is the reason I gave four stars. The availability of half sizes is non-existent in many high end comfort sandals and a full size down may be too small. This is very frustrating for the wearer but I am keeping the sandals anyway and have worn them 4-5 times each week. The arch support is sufficient and the foot bed is comfortable but I wish they were a little more on the squishy side (like some of the merrills) so I could wear them all day with less fatigue, but I like them so much I decided to risk ordering a size 7.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable and Sturdy

I bought these just before going on a trip to Jamaica. I didn't wear them or break them in so I did get a small blister where a top strip touched my foot after day two wearing them (I had very active days). This problem stopped quickly, but I do want to recommend breaking them in before hiking, heavy walking etc.

They held up fantastically through days of boating, hiking, tons of walking, and all kinds of terrain (beach, jungle, river, pavement). Stayed on securely while offering a decent amount of support. I wore them for a week straight comfortably and am looking forward to these being my primary warm weather shoe, including for day hikes.

I'm typically a size 8.5 (sometimes 9) and the 9 fit fine, with a comfortable amount of extra toe room. Straps are velcro and offer alot of adjustment.

I have very high arches, but went from wearing sneakers with arch support, to wearing these all day, every day, without any arch supports, and they've been fantastic!! They're extremely comfortable, adjustable, and so far (two months in) durable. Even walking all day in them doesn't cause discomfort. The size and width are as expected. Straps can be adjusted (I have narrower feet and they tighten well enough.) I can slip these on and off without adjusting them. I would highly recommend these!

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't order if you have a somewhat wide foot
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2016

These sandals are very attractive and feminine, but they are built for a narrow foot. With no half sizes available, going up a size would have just left me with unneeded length beyond my toe. I bought some Tevas instead, same size and width; they fit great and are much more comfortable.

2.0 out of 5 stars Fits like a narrow, not as cushioned as I was told by rep.
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2015
Verified Purchase
I wear a size 8.5 in some shoes, 9 in others. My toes were to the edge and my big toe was coming off the side. I have never had to buy wides--regular has always fit fine--but I would need wides in these if they come.

Also, there was not enough strap to loosen to get my foot through. My previous Columbias, which I've had for 13 years and I love, I could leave the toe strap done and just open the ankle strap to slip it on. This does not have enough slack to get my foot through the ankle strap since it also has to get through the annoying strap connecting it to the toe strap.

One last thing, I thought it would be very cushy, having talked to a rep on the phone. I like the material they used 13 years ago much better. The soft leather was nice, but the layer under it was not great. I couldn't walk more than an hour in these without the bottom of my foot hurting, which is why I also returned some Tevas I bought to replace my old Columbias.

Three stars because it is so easy to return them if they don't work out. Guess I'll try something else! Mens maybe?

I normally wear a size 6, but these had some extra room at the toes. It works though so I won't stub my toes, but they could've been a little shortened up for my liking. Other than that, they are super light and very comfortable. There's not a lot of arch support (I have high arches) and haven't had issues so far.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great low-profile shoe for my Thailand trip
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2016

Great low-profile shoe for my Thailand trip! Only frustrating thing: not easy to get on and off quickly. There is only one velcro spot at the ankle and it's a little small, so the range of foot width/slimness isn't easy to accommodate. I have fairly slender feet, and found them a little loose and floppy. I would have preferred a more snug fit for a sandal I has walking and climbing with. Also, with the formation of the straps, I couldn't adjust them easily to slip on and off; I had to un-velcro, loosen the strap from each loop, then get my foot out. I attribute this to how small the hardware was and that the straps couldn't slide easily. This could also be a good thing...
Besides that: the sole was very comfortable with the fabric and air cushions. I didn't get a single blister or raw spot, even though I walked around for days with them fresh from the package. And, they're not bulky or masculine looking, which was exactly what I needed for my skinny feet. (Most sandals make me look like I'm wearing snow shoes, which happens a lot, even with normal women's shoes)
