They fit very well and the soles make walking a pleasure. I didn't realize that they are closed in the front and have black elastic, but I'm getting used to not liking them. They are of high quality and the stitching is first class, uniform and straight on all sandals. The sole does not scratch or slip. They're easy to slip on and off and stretch just enough to adapt to the action. I've been wearing them for a few days now and am happy with how they fit my feet. Four stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
