PlakaExplore Walking and Hiking Sandals for Women | Comfortable Summer Sandal with Arch Support | Waterproof Comfy Sandals for Travel, Beach or Poolside

Received this morning, wore them all day and just got home from a 2 mile walk. They feel great. They are light weight and comfy. Fit true to size. Foot support and cushion are excellent. They are definitely coming to Europe with me.

I love these, I went out the next morning when these arrived and went out looking at my plants. They are so light it makes it easy to move around and they seem very durable so far. They are so comfortable, the arch support is great for me. I have issues keeping sandals on my feet so the strap for the back is perfect. The look and color of them is awesome, matches with pretty much anything I wear.

These are great. I wasn't sure about which size to get- I am a 9, typically, but depending on shoe, it can differ. Sometimes I go 9.5, but that's either in running shoes or some dress shoes. The 8.5/9 fit me perfectly.As far as adjustability, the strap behind the heel is what is adjustable. It connects to the straps that cross over the top of the foot, on either side. You can slide the heel strap up or down (or forward or back, depending on how you look at it), and it makes for a more snug or loose fit. My guess about people saying the straps get loose over time, *may* have something to do with this feature being a little more mobile after some wear. But, it could also be that the braids tighten up, making the straps be just a tiny bit longer than at purchase. Either way, for now they are great and I think for the price point (these aren't Chacos, after all) the quality is good and even if they stretch a bit, I would be glad I bought them.They are incredibly light, and the support is good- it's firm, without being stiff in the sole, or hard on the bottom of the feet. It's also not annoyingly squishy, which can feel kinda gross to my feet, especially if the shoe gets wet. In fact, I suppose they're so comfortable that the only way I think about my feet is to stop to consider how good they are feeling from time to time.The bottom of the soles are not what I could consider "hiking" sandals. They have texture for sure, but it is more like a light but dense foam/ (plastic?) I will feel ok wearing these in drier, slightly rough terrain, but I personally would not feel comfortable relying on them on wet or potentially slippery hikes.. however I've seen some reviews here that say they use them for that and with no issues. I suppose if they prove themselves trustworthy, then after some time I might give them a go at wetter conditions.They are quiet shoes, with the exception of the light sound of my heel lifting off of the back of the sole. I don't know that that is avoidable, but the shoes themselves don't make a lot of noise on the ground- indoor or outdoor.Overall, I would definitely recommend them. I will be using them for travel - to have a utilitarian sandal that can also be dressed up. Then just around town in my regular life when I return. If anything significant comes up after using them for sometime, I will edit this post.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Pretty comfortable, fits the right size (a tiny bit smaller side but still a good fit), I have weird pinky toes so the straps on the pinky rub so I wrapped them in satin ribbon, but still very nice and durable! Love them!! And they hold up really nicely!

I wore these for my 2 week trip in Hawaii. We were extremely active as we usually are on our trips, and walked and swam on and off everyday. I always have worn my Birks but the thing I noticed and loved about these were how light they were. Birks are so heavy and they fatigue my feet. The sole was very comfortable and cushy and provided a lot of support for walking all day. I actually discovered the adjustable straps by accident which was so handy when I wanted to use the back strap for a more secure fit when hiking and remove it when I want to be able to easily slip on my shoes like after walking in the sand or after swimming. I got a size 9 and they fit perfect on me, I am a true size 9. Also these were pretty cute to wear for tons of occasions which I’ll attach in my photos. I would love if they added more colors like the mixed colors they have on their other sandals. Or had other strap designs with the same sole. Highly recommend!

Color:Great neutral color which went with whatever I chose to wear.Fit:The fit took a bit to get use to but once I found how I liked them on my feet, these sandals were made for walking! They are extremely light and felt like nothing after walking 20K+ steps through ancient streets!Style:Style is cute and not traditional which I loved! I wanted to wear walking sandals for our Greece trip and tours of all the archeological sites and didn’t know where to start. I gave these a chance and I’m so glad I did! After walking 20K+ steps, I can say my feet felt great! These sandals were light on my feet and perfect!

This is by far my most comfortable waterproof sandals I’ve got! Super light weight and I feel like I’m wearing an open toe Sketchers. No break in period. It’s comfy from the 1st second I wore it, and I can run with it too. I wore this to the theme park for 2 days straight and it did my feet really well. What I love most is that it can function as a slip on and also a strap on. The design is pretty that it goes well even with my sun dresses. EXTREMELY SATISFIED!

The sandal is cute. And comfortable and offers arch support. Easy to walk in. My only issue is that the strap presses down on my pinky toe a bit uncomfortable. Otherwise great shoe.
