Must find a good waterproof spray to accompilsh this. Loose enough to wear with warm socks so you really can just slip them on regardless of how prepared you are. I cant knock any stars because its probably just me mumbling all the time. The material is light weight with thin elastic on the waistline. Easy to see all spices. However because I do love the look and overall comfort Im keeping the bronze and will just add gel pads under sole and heel to help tighten. they sent 9. I was looking for comfortable hiking sandals with good support. I purchased this for two reasons; wired earpods were interfering with my movement because the cords were so long and it didn?t drown out the sound of my husband watching TV (he has a hearing problem). The case is beautiful and chic.
