Helpful review:This was the best choice!
I was so surprised at how well they kept up!
The memory foam of the shoe made them incredibly comfortable to walk around in.
Plus, they have three adjustable, padded straps for a secure yet comfy fit.
These sandals also come in wide and extra-wide sizes if youre looking for a little extra wiggle room.
Helpful review:I only wore these shoes during our recent trip to Disney world.
We spent five days in the park plus 2 travel days.
I had no blisters and my feet hurt significantly less compared to my family members who wore tennis shoes/joggers.
I have them in black and in tan.
Perfect summer walking shoes!
Weve been walking all day up/down hills and going to the beaches, etc.
Ive been wearing them with dresses, etc.
These sandals come in 35 colorways, so youre sure to find one that goes with your travel wardrobe.
They have a similar contoured footbed with built-in arch support, and the faux-cork footbed is durable and flexible.

Helpful review:I’m a birkenstock girl and I lost my last pair in a move.
I didn’t want to commit to another $100+ pair but needed new sandals for a summer trip.
I’ve walked everywhere in these shoes: sandy beach, wet field, city sidewalks.
They are so comfortable and sturdy.
Helpful review:I heard about these shoes in a travel group Im in.
They are comfortable after a little wear in, they form to your feet.
I forsee these being my go-to sandal for a while and getting them in more colors.
Helpful review:This is my third pair of these great sandals that provide excellent support.
The only disadvantage to them is that they are definitely not dressy.
Other sandals do not last me half of the year.
Two adjustable straps create a secure fit.
Pick up the neutral leopard-print option to add a bit of fun to your wardrobe.
I have wide feet and these for them well.
They look nice and I’ve received compliments on them.
Easy to put on and take off.
Comfortable to walk around in.
The three straps are made of stretchy elastic thatll keep your feet secure, and makes for easy on-and-off.
They are light and look good with jeans, skirts, or casual pants.
