I have some lower back pain that keeps me from enjoying hikes and stuff. Actually, any time I'm on my feet for more than a little while. Went to Good Feet and got some orthotics that help a ton. Then I moved to St. Croix, VI where it seems silly to wear anything but sandals.Got these and was able to take the removable insole out, put my orthotics in, then replace the insole. A little velcro on the bottom of my orthotic keeps them in place and the velcro on the toe of the insole keeps that in place. Win-win. Works great.Living on an island I walk on the beach, in the ocean, around town... Comfortable everywhere and, in the month we've been here, they seem unaffected by the water and sand.Highly recommended.My feet are on the edge of needing wide sizes. So I'm starting to buy wide sizes as I get older. I got these because I occasionally get some foot issues & wanted a sandal with support but also quite open. I was disappointed that the strap over the toes is so short, and the placement of velcro such, that it doesn't attach without putting pressure on the base of the toes. If my foot is a bit touchy I have to leave that strap open.The arch support is also pretty minimal. Had to add a little arch pad.These felt great from the minute that I put them on. Very comfortable!I have a hard time finding anything that is long and wide enough. I wear a New Balance 13 4E tennis shoes. No blisters, no rubbing. I wore these all day the first day that I had them and they fit and felt like I had them for a year already. No need for breaking them in.Look great and are comfortable but don’t hold up. Have frayed edges, leather strap faces worn through at buckles, bottom wear with light use. Not a buck fifty sandal.The are comfortable and they appear to be well made. These sandals are a little small in length and width for the size that they are labeled to be. The straps are to short and are barely long enough to fasten leaving a lot of unused Velcro exposed that shreds the ends of the legs of the trousers. Some companies make the straps way to long with cross stitching about every half inch of the strap. This makes it possible to neatly cut the strap to length without leaving unstitched strap to unravel. If they cared, Drew could learn some things from their competitors.These are the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever purchased. Considering they are higher end ($180) I expected better quality but my feet are always sore and the shoes don't wear well, even after allowing time to break them in. The straps are too short and the footbed does not wear well. The Seller is very uncooperative. Beware of the Seller's restrictive return policy on these shoes. Despite my experience and those of the other reviews of similar issues, the Seller refused to take any action.I require a custom orthotic. Drew sandals are usually double deep when the foot bed is removed. These were not. My orthotic partially stuck out, especially in the heel area, making it unsightly. I found them to be narrow for a man's regular shoe size and slightly short. The same holds true with women's Drew shoes I have tried. I am a woman with a medium width foot and I tried the men's size hoping for a bit wider fit than the women's Drew sandals especially in the ball of the foot. Only slightly wider in that area. I did not find them to be that heavy as stated in other reviews. They are not light-weight, but not abnormally heavy either. The straps adjusted well and the Velcro was a decent length. They seemed sturdy, comfortable and supportive. If my orthotic would have dropped down a bit more and there was a bit more width in the ball of the foot area, they would have been keepers.This is my second pair of these sandals, they are very comfortable. I would have given them 5 stars but the Velcro wears out before the sandal does and it is not easy to replace the Velcro. Also the straps curl up at the ends and there is no Velcro to prevent this from happening.
