I spent what seemed like forever trying to find a sandal that was both feminine and basic - something I could wear with anything. I'm looking at being pregnant during the worst heat of the summer, and needed something comfortable and easy to put on, while still cute. This shoe fits the bill perfectly! It fit great right out of the box, and while the stem of a flip-flop often irritates my toes, this shoe does not - even on the first time out. The foot bed is nice and cushy while staying supportive, and it bends nicely with my foot while walking. I'm looking forward to keeping my feet cool and comfortable all summer long, even with the extra strain pregnancy will add. This purchase was definitely worth the money!
