I was hoping they would resemble the old New Balance sandals my husband liked. He wanted light weight and a comfortable fit. They have velcro straps to fit any foot. However, when he wears them, they dye the soles of his feet black. Paint dripped from the running board onto his skin. The sandals are intended to be worn in warm/hot weather so I am assuming the temperature was not what caused the stains. Unfortunately we won't be buying it again, we'll have to look for another brand. Unfortunately I have to throw them away but there is no other solution.
