Viakix Womens Walking Sandals: Cute Stylish Comfy Athletic Sport Outdoor Hiking Sandal for Trekking Water Outdoor Beach With Arch Support for Womens Ladies

I had to go back and review these sandals.My background - I have wide feet and always struggle to fit into shoes. I get a lot of pinching usually around my toes. I also have get plantar fasciitis and usually have to wear very specific insoles in my shoes to avoid the pain. I was on the hunt for a pair of sandals that stay bound to my foot without causing pain - no loose backs or flat supportless shoes. I'm currently living for 6 months in a travel trailer and needed an open toed sandal that could last and get me through any adventures that didn't require a closed toed shoe.These sandals are very comfortable in many ways. The straps are a very soft fabric with a slight stretch to it. As I walk throughout the day my feet will swell, and these shoes don't have any issues accommodating for that. I was worried maybe about pain between my toes or blistering where the fabric would rub but I haven't even come close to having any issues with that. I really love the cushion on the heel strap. I have had absolutely no issues with rubbing even after hours of walking and being on my feet. Due to my living situations, I double these as water shoes when kayaking or fishing and they work great for that too. They don't get overly stretchy when wet and have good grip on wet surfaces. Also very easy to clean. My only small complaint is that the back strap will sometimes slide down because it is just a bit too big for me. The buckle on the shoe looks like you can tighten the strap, but I noticed that after tightening it will pull back out. This doesn't happen often enough to even come close to a reason not to wear them. I bought two pairs in tan an black just for esthetic variety and love both.

Glorious Glorious Glorious! Was recently diagnosed with a heel spur and a couple cranky tendons. Needed something for in the house as well as outside. Couldn't stand the heel pressure of even my old Ultraboosts- which are super forgiving. Got two pairs of these bad boys and LIFE CHANGING! I can walk around PAIN FREE!!! The arch is mild and softer, so it isn't like a rock shoving itself into your arch. (I'm looking at you, Birk's and some Teva's)My chiro was a huge fan when he saw them. The double straps distributed any strap pressure.Adjustment is easy.I will be surprised if I don't end up with every color of these magical footsie healers.Side note: after trucking around in these "gifts from the Gods," I've recently been able to use my Ultraboosts for yard work. Yep. A month ago I could barely put weight on my right heel, and this weekend I was bebopping around the yard dragging a compost spreader like a heel spur-less person. Yeehaw! Also, Woot!

TLDR:• No break-in period required• Friendly for wide feet• No blisters• Good for sweaty feet• True to size• Great support and bounce• Hand wash and air dry for longer lifespanOut of the many strappy “walking/hiking/travel”-friendly sandals I’ve tried, I have to say these are still a top contender—especially if you suffer from wide feet like I do. My bunions make it really hard to find the perfect pair of shoes, let alone a travel sandal.The fabric is ultra-soft, and I have to say that wearing them daily on a 3-week trip in Vietnam was honestly great. They’re lightweight, provide good feedback when walking, and are super comfortable to stand in for hours. I didn’t get blisters anywhere on my feet, which was a miracle because I also deal with sweaty feet. The design allows for enough airflow to help keep your feet dry, even in hot and humid weather.Sizing is pretty true to size. I’m a real 9, and the 9 fit well, but the toe box felt shorter compared to other brands. Going up to a 9.5 or 10 doesn’t really help because only the heel portion gets extended—not the toe box.I only came across two issues:1. The particular pair I received had one of the straps on the top of the foot sewn together with another band, creating a weak point in the strap’s integrity. Normally, all the straps are continuous pieces for added strength, but this one had two short pieces stitched together, which made it more prone to wear and damage. The seam started splitting after just a few uses. I believe this is a quality control issue the company should address.2. Due to the toe-wrap design, it takes a bit longer to put on the sandal. You have to wiggle your toe in and then tighten the strap buckle. I’m used to designs without a toe wrap where you can just slide your feet in within seconds, making it super quick to take them on and off. This might be something to consider if you’re traveling to parts of Asia where you’ll be entering homes or temples frequently and need to remove your shoes often. It’s a minor thing, but worth mentioning.Overall, I’m happy with the beige color, but I would absolutely love it if they released a chocolate or deeper brown version. The versatility of these sandals offers amazing value for the price, and the bonus is that they’re lightweight enough to pack in a travel backpack or bag without taking up much space.

I can’t say enough about these sandals they are wonderful. My feet are so happy! It’s like walking on a cloud. I wear a size 7 and ordered the 7 in the white/gray double strap and they fit great. And they look stylish enough to wear to church . I will be ordering another pair in a different color to go with jeans.

Wow, these are so comfortable. The straps are very soft and the sole is squishy and firm at the same time. I had to throw away my Chaco sandals after they started creating blisters. Wish they had in brown straps, I'd buy another pair.
