Like walking on sandpaper + blisters

By Ranked #320 - Men's Technical Sandals September 11, 2009

After reading all of the amazing reviews of this product, I went ahead and purchased a pair of these for a trip to Europe. After just a couple of hours wearing these around, I had a huge blister on my left heel. The surface of the sandal is extremely hard and rough - it literally feels like walking on cement bricks with sandpaper and they shredded the soles of my feet. I am very confused as to who is writing the reviews of these sandals. It seems that the soles changed where and how they are being made, but I don't see how there can be recent reviews of this sandal that are positive. I am now stuck in Europe with these things and will have to deal with returning them when I get back. For the price of these, I was expecting much more comfortable sandal. They are so hard and solid that they will probably last forever, but if you're looking for comfort, avoid these at all costs.
