For the price no idea what could be better. I have a very high instep, 10.5 EE, and I was concerned that this might cause problems with my landing, but no, I glided perfectly. No bond, no fight. The upper is good but the sole is soft so expect to wear it out quickly. But I hope the brand and style will still be available when that happens. Thinking about it, I could order another pair in a heartbeat. If you. Look for support. Don't buy this. Not much more than a cheap pair of slippers, but exactly what I expected (except maybe a better sole). I'd say it's the perfect beach shoe, but not for long walks unless you want to go barefoot and sand-free in your toes. I have a solid 10.5 and these are a bit big. Fine with socks but my next order will probably be 10.
