As usual for trekking sandals, I bought the shoe 1 - 1.5 sizes too big to have enough protection all around. The sole of the sandal is also correspondingly large. The straps are way too tight and too short. I tried to put on a sandal; I just got in by force. The middle buckles/eyelets are not padded and press heavily. The constant after a short time an injury on the foot. The velcro on me has less than 1/4 overlap under tension; that wouldn't last long. I've been wearing TEVA sandals for 20 years. So A Sh. I haven't come across it yet. This is going back immediately, sorry
