Comfy but not right out of the box - After reading all the reviews about how comfortable this shoe was for walking, I thought I would give it a try. The first pair, like many others, was too small so I returned them -- I normally wear 8.5 or 9 depending on the shoe and I had ordered a 9. The 9.5 I received was a perfect fit. However, after wearing the shoes for several hours, they rubbed the top of my foot along the back of the thick strap. After two weeks my foot is "almost" healed. I will keep trying and eventually I am sure they will be comfortable for extended walking without causing trauma - they were otherwise a comfy pair of sandals.

Finally! This is exactly what I have been looking for! Comfortable from the first day I put it on, and have now walked quite a bit in them and they are still comfortable. No break-in period required and the arch support is fantastic. I usually wear an 8.5 M, read the reviews, and bought a 9 W and am very happy with the result. You will love these flops! Thanks Zappos for the availability of reviews, helps to buy right the first time, and of course, fast shipping. A wonderful shoe-buying experience as always!

Short and Sweet - The length is definitely runs 1/2 size smaller, I'm a real true 9M and even when I pushed my toes forward, my heel just was too far over the back. I loved the way these sandals snugly clung to my foot and the cushy-ness of the footbed. The part that goes between your toes, did rub a bit and I don't know if I'd get used to it. I'd like to try the 9.5 but they're sold out in my colors.

Best sandal ever - I needed a nicer looking sandal to wear everyday instead of flip flops (which I love too but can look super casual). These really do the trick, they aren't fancy, but they aren't flip flops! And super, super comfy. I can wear them all day at work and walk around NYC in them and my feet still don’t hurt at the end of the day! And they held up all summer and probably through next summer too.

An amazing sandal - I bought two pairs of this shoe - one in white and one in brown - because I knew Tims was a good brand, but I was happy to see that they were even more comfortable than I expected. Now I don't wear any other sandal. The leather is soft and smooth and the straps fit without pinching or pulling - no first time blisters! Buy this shoe, you'll love it!

Great sandals - These are very comfortable and super cute (I got the green ones). I do disagree that they run small. Based on reviews I ordered 9M and I usually wear 8 to 8 1/2 and am on the narrow side. I had to return for 8 1/2 medium and while they fit nicely I wouldn't say that they run narrow, they are true to size.

Really great all-around summer shoe! I am pretty picky about sandals, they need to stay on when I am running up the basement steps and in and out of the car. They need to feel good all day long, even on a long walking vacation day. Well, THESE DO!!! Comfortable, cute, and they don't slip off your feet! Meets all my daily needs!

Great Sandal! I liked the look of this sandal, but often have a real problem with a thong style. Often it is extremely uncomfortable. I wore these for 3 days around home to make sure they wouldn't bother me and they have been fantastic. Today my husband and I went for a walk on the beach and around town. Very comfortable! Cute sandal!

A perfect daily sandal! This sandal walks with comfort, has a slightly sexy toe thong, and is a jump and go option. I have it in 2 colors and would consider buying more colors. I bought the second shoe in a half size larger. Either size works and I don't know my favorite yet. Expect compliments.

These are very comfy while still being very feminine. I won't wear shoes that aren't comfortable, but I want cute, too. I love these! I listened to reviews and ordered a half size up. 7 instead of 6.5 (sometimes I even wear a 6 in sandals) and they fit well.

Too Narrow! I, like the reviewer before me, do not have particularly wide feet. The first time I ordered this shoe, I ordered a regular width, only to find it unusually narrow. The wide-width I ordered to replace the original shoes was also frustratingly narrow. My foot hangs over the left and right edges of the footbed, and my smallest toe does not even fit on the sandal. Thankfully, Zappos' customer service is second-to-none, and I can return all versions of this style for a refund. I compared the soles of this shoe to an older Timberland sandal I have, and the old shoe, a 10M, was WIDER than the new shoe, a 10W.

I have a 7.5 sized foot, but they’re a little wide. The thick strap on the top was a little constricting initially, but stretched out nicely. But the thong part was in an odd place, which pulls in an uneven manner. When my feet swell a bit, my foot tends to look a little constricted. But for walking purposes, they never hurt at all. I do think they were slightly overpriced, but Zappos.com was the only place that had my shoe, so that works! My friend has them, but she has a size 5.5 narrow foot, which I think works better.
