These shoes are amazing, I've had them for almost three years. They are great for driving across the country, camping, doing yard work in the heat, and even s we atty workouts. I tend to wear these instead of sandals when going for walks with my dog or going to the park to play volleyball with the gals. Now that it's summer, the s me ll is starting to get to me, I can't wear them in public. I would be happy if someone else could enjoy them! Damage is shown in photos. They are size 40, but I wear an 8.5.
