Some of these type sandals are hard and heavy, not these. Recommendation:My star rating for reviews here on Amazon depend on the price and quality of the product for the price that was paid. Its fast. I got the buds, charged them up, used them once and was so happy. Gorgeous and versatile sandal. Definitely order one size larger than you would normally wear. One caveat. Filled in the small gap with foam tape. It is very sturdy so that I can put all my jars on it. I’m VERY impressed by that.
