5.0 out of 5 stars awesome! comfortable!
This product was recommended by my foot doctor for a fracture in my little toe that did not heal properly, and also because it is bad to walk barefoot and this is the next best thing she said. It took me a while to order, but once i did, i was kicking myself for not doing sooner. I wear them everywhere. Recently my daughter with back issues tried them on and she was so...

2.0 out of 5 stars Unpleasant surprise
After looking forward to a really comfortable walking sandal, I received these and tried my ususal 2 mile walk. What I found is that these sandals have that ridge in the footbed near the ball of the foot. I couldn't see it in any of the photos. I cannot wear shoes with this feature and it renders the sandals useless to me as it causes footpain and sciatica. This was...

5.0 out of 5 stars Columbia Sandals, October 16, 2009

I LOVE these sandals. I went walking 2 miles every day this summer while visiting relatives. My feet felt great and I never had a blister, even after the first wearing. I like the fact that they could get wet, as well.

I owned a pair of these sandals that I wore pretty much every day...then my puppy got one of them and chewed it to bits. I immediately went on a frantic search for a new pair and Amazon was the only one I could find that still sold them! Without hesitation, I bought them and am happily wearing them almost every day, again. They are so very comfortable!! They look great with a summer dress or with jeans...and they keep you safe while you do some mild rock hopping, as I discovered in the desert of Utah. I have never been on a beach with them, so I can't attest to that. But I highly recommend these for other Summer Children who are looking for a great all-round sandal!

I bought these specifically in mind for 4 days of Disney. They were so great, so comfortable. I got zero blisters. Others I were with had sneakers and their feet ached by the end of the day. I went on wet rides and they dried in an instant. I highly recommend them.

This is a great lightweight sandal for those who like to walk in the summer, but don't like to wear clunky sneakers! I've worn these shoes everywhere since receiving them earlier this week. Yesterday was a one-mile walk with the dog around the park. My feet felt great and I could've gone another mile! No blisters, no arch discomfort. They are cushioned in the heel and the shock is absorbed very well. Another reviewer mentioned back issues, which I also have, and yes my back does feel good today, even after that walk. I am a size 8 and ordered a size 8. They are a touch on the long side, but a 7 would've been too short. Actually when I'm walking downhill I'm grateful for that extra room because the toes do shift forward. At Amazon's price, at least give them a try! Much cheaper and a much better walker than Teva.

I love this sandal, however. . . . . I wish the ankle straps were longer - I must have a fat foot. I did get a blister on my toe the first time and second time I wore them. I love the color - mud - and may by another pair in black.

This review is from: Columbia Sportswear Women's Sun Light Backstrap Sandal (Apparel)
Took a chance with ordering my very first pair of shoes online after my dog decided to eat one of my black sandals. I was nervous, but they fit, they're cute and comfortable. Having paid $22.47 with tax, I am super happy with my purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Practical, comfortable, and affordable, June 12, 2011

I broke my leg some weeks ago and my foot is swollen, so I needed a shoe that could: 1) adjust to fit my one puffy foot and 2) stay on while I hobble on crutches (unlike slide-on slippers which can fall off). So this shoe fit the bill; it's very practical, quite comfortable, and less expensive than Tevas or Chacos. My only qualm is that in the picture, the shoe looks brownish (I ordered "Mud"... mud is brown, isn't it?) - but this shoe is actually more of a stone gray than brown. Luckily, I like gray, so no biggie. I might actually wear these around after my leg heals.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just right!, July 22, 2010

Yea! The order came right when they said it would. Getting items from Amazon feels like Christmas. I got them yesterday and wore them right away. I'm so pleased. This is just what I was looking for. Light weight and comfy with a little support, and on sale, too. I read the reviews before buying and even after the comment on the footbed, took a chance. I'm soo glad I did. I think it's a personal thing that depends on your foot shape. I wear a 6.5 and normally if there's no half size I would go a size up but I got the 6 and it fits very well. (I have short toes so there's pretty much room to the end of the sandal) The adjustable straps are great as I am a little wide across the ball and toes, yet have a narrow heel and ankle. Thanks!
Update: 8/11 Just got home from the Doobie Brothers concert at Musikfest. After spending the last 2 days trekking around down there, I did have some discomfort. Not as supportive as a walking or running shoe, of course, but far more comfortable than a flip-flop. I think it was much cooler in the heat than the running shoes but my feet did sweat. I have heal spurs. I think a bit more arch support might be helpful for me. The nice thing is they form to my foot and stayed secure with the straps. I kept a really good pace down and back as I didn't drive but walked down there. I wasn't worried about them sliding off. After today, I lowered my rating from 5 to a 4.
