Pretty great for an orthopedic shoe. They seem to be slightly wider footbed than my other Finn Comforts (athletic shoes).A big plus is that all of the straps are easily adjustable, so if my feet misbehave during the day, my sandals can be adjusted to accommodate swelling etc.My pair is some kind of black shimmer. It’s pretty but difficult to keep clean in the summer. That’s my only beef with these shoes—dust tends to build up in the stitching because it’s almost 3D where the footbed is sewn in. A toothbrush (used for cleaning only obs) does the trick. This might become of the metallic leather on my pair as well—not sure.Style wise they look much less like an orthotic shoe on my feet than they do just sitting in my closet. I’m grateful to have this option.I needed comfort snd these are pretty good. I never thought I’d spend this much but they truly are superior sandals. I was always wearing sneakers for support and these are a good substitute.They are great shoes. I have a brown pair that I’ve had for years. These were a size smaller than what I had. I’m sorry they didn’t work for me.Great quality and fit.I have several pairs and these blue ones are really wonderful with denim outfits!!!!Well made, comfortable and suitable for someone with foot issues.Like the shoe, dislike the cost as I am retired and on a fixed income. I save to purchase the shoes, because "my feet and arch love them".I wear a women's size 11 and the European size 42 fit perfectly. It is supportive as advertised and comfortable to wear when strolling or shopping (but not as comfortable as a supportive pair of running shoes, like Asics, if you'll be walking at a fast pace). The only hesitation I had was the inside of the strap that wrapped around the back of your foot. The end of the strap rubbed against my foot but didn't really hurt. Upon wearing for an extended time, I didn't notice it, nor did it make a mark in that spot. Just a matter of getting used to. I also have a high instep which this style accommodates very well with the hook and loop closure. The style is traditional and will last forever, and goes with most apparel. Based on a pair of Finn Comfort shoes that I wore to work for nearly 8 years without them wearing out, I expect to have these at least that long since it is a seasonal sandal.
