All in all these sandals are good. They give me good support and the design of the insole gives a kind of massage effect when walking. So far the only downside is that the "velvet" part of one velcro strap has started to unscrew. I thought about returning them, but it turned out that just pulling out the old needle and the black thread was enough. (Plus, this way I got it back in minutes instead of waiting days for it to be returned.)
