Okay, I'm totally torn on this Skechers sandal. I'm a wedge sandal fan, and have been wearing wedges by Jambu, Rialto, and Skechers for YEARS: I have many pairs of wedge sandals. When this pair first arrived and I wore it the first time, I declared that it was my favorite wedge sandal of all time. It's just SO cute, stylish, and comfortable. I have high arches, and this pair supports them better than any pair I own. The foam is comfy, and the styling is second-to-none. Plus, I love the rainbow colors! So why am I torn? Because after only a couple of wears, the cloth straps started fraying on one of the shoes. :( In the first picture, you'll see the shoe that still looks good. So cute. The second and third pictures show the fraying straps on the other shoe, first from a distance, then close-up. There's not really anything I can do to fix this. Everything else on the shoes still looks great, but the fraying straps are a huge minus-- because I don't know how long it will be until they fray beyond wearability. (I've only owned them 2 months, and only worn them a handful of times.) I had only worn these shoes for short periods of time-- trips to the grocery store, for example. But because they are so comfy and supportive, and already fraying anyway, I chose them for a long day of outdoor city sightseeing yesterday. Big mistake! I learned that though the arch support is great, these shoes are NOT comfy for all day standing and walking. It turns out that the cute floral design on the insole is very rough on the underside of my feet. (Perhaps I just have sensitive feet?!?) So a day of standing and walking in hot, sweaty conditions was downright painful by a few hours in. These shoes are now relegated to the 2 hours or less category-- or for times when I'll be mostly sitting, not walking around. I still rated them 4 stars, because they're just so cute and fit my feet so perfectly, and because even after walking in them all day yesterday, they still look great (apart from the fraying, which had already begun with minimal wear). To see if they'll work for you (if you don't mind the possibility of fraying, and don't need them for long-distance walking): I have high arches and normally wear 8.5M, and the 8s fit me perfectly and support my arches delightfully well.
