These are perfect for me! Ive already washed them twice withing a month that i got them. So, they are definitely not sexy; however, living in a rural desert region with rocks and gravel pretty much everywhere - even in town - I do find that the wider width gives my foot a little bigger platform and keeps it a bit further away from the rocks and sand. So cute and fit my feet perfectly. Im now placing another order so I can have these in other areas. I do worry about how they will fit in the future when I wear them down but for price they are good. I am very happy with these sandals. Did debate returning it. I let my son use my headphones. There is only 3? of clearance between the hook and the edge of the backing plate to squeeze your bike tire in.
