After playing around with it a bit it works fine. To be fair, Im very picky about my sandals/flip flops and wont wear anything that forces me to walk slower. Trage sonst Gr. I said IKR! I believe that they could hold a watermelon like the picture shows! Easy on / off. They arrived two days later which is the day before I left for Maui. Had a pair of keens paid the same price and we?re terrible shoes I could feel everything underneath my feet. I have no problems at all with it. Really nice and good value for money!
