"remarkably uncomfortable sandal" - Review of Mion Ebb Tide Slide Sandal - Men's

I have worn sport sandals on a daily basis since the days of the early Alps and Tevas. I recent years, I have been using Chacos, Keens, and Crocs (probably the most comfortable of all). These Mion sandals have the sad distinction of being the most uncomfortable ever. The footbed is O.K., but the upper is remarkably uncomfortable. I ordered one size smaller than my usual size based on online recommendations and the size is fine. I have worn these sandals for a few days in the hope of breaking them in a little bit, but they are not improving. In spite of their soft and comfortable appearance, it is almost impossible to obtain a satisfactory adjustment of the upper. When adjusted to any degree of snugness, each passage of the cord “bites” quite painfully. In half a day of work today, these sandals have worn through my socks in several places. I think these are very cool looking sandals, but based on my experience they are all style and no substance.
