I used this over 3 days camping in Vermont in late Aug/early Sept. It came very tightly warm when I put it on, granted I just have to break it in, but a item this costly should be comfortable to wear. Ive used this wire to hang my badge on after work before plugging in my phone for almost 2 years and is only recently starting to fray (see pictures). My granddaughter loves these slippers. These waist beads are so beautiful and versatile. I ordered a size up to ensure it would be comfortable enough for long use. They barely fit and are really tight but since the bottoms were dirty they couldnt be sent back. I will order then again maybe with close toes. I have high arch and this pair of sandals are very comfortable. Holds well, is a bit high but perfect for my long robe.
