Not only are the sandals comfortable, they are strong enough to climb into and flexible enough to allow a 3/8 inch rise in the footplate of the right sandal after attaching a small Velcro strap to the top bottom strap. to allow for my shorter right leg. A real benefit as adding a 3/8 inch height to the bottom of the sandal like I've been doing with my other sandals/shoes for years is a much more expensive solution!
