This is my second pair of Uneek sandals. My first pair lasted a few years and to be honest they were still working when I ordered them. They tend to run half a size smaller when it comes to comfort, so order half a size up. They also take a little getting used to at first, but once you've done that, they're very comfortable. It may take a little experimentation to find the right lace tension for long-lasting comfort, but once you've done that, you most likely won't need to adjust them. The outsole construction of this last pair is a bit more durable than my original. a few, so definitely a design improvement. Overall, they're great if you want something very breathable that can get wet. I wear them as an alternative to bulky water shoes when kayaking and love them for that use, but they're also my favorite for everyday use in warm weather.
