Also instead of black my sandals arrived in the grey colour, luckily i like it. Very good and my son just loved it. Arrived and began use early February and broke mid April. There are those with severe foot issues who need YOU to develop a better product and TEST it before selling an inferior product in the marketplace. My feet and ankles do not hurt at the end of the day. I sent the first pair back, and re-ordered a half size up. You wont be able to see my shoes anyway. I read the reviews & listened to those who said they run large & ordered a half size smaller. I have purchased and used this item, along with I really recommend you looking somewhere some other brand cause these are terrible, they start off great, but they wear out quickly and are the most hurtful shoe going.
