I had an accident (aneurysm) when I was 20 and had to relearn how to walk and get out of the wheelchair. Since then, reliable shoes have been very important to me and peep-toe sandals with straps on the back are my "best" and my "standard" shoes. These "Funky Monkies" look cool and are very comfortable to walk in (basically, they rival any other sandal for the same price in quality and comfort). I'm talking about quality because I just got them a week ago, they look like I won't have to buy new sandals for a while (they look good)
