These are VERY comfortable and look nice enough, but they just didn't work for me. When I wear them the regular way (all straps over the foot), my foot seems to slide backwards with every step, as if that last strap is pushing my foot back out. In public, I kept having to stop and pull the shoe back over my foot again or my heel would end up on the ground, even though the shoes fit perfectly initially. I tried what another reviewer tried, and used the furthermost back strap to go around my heel instead, with only the two front straps over my foot. That didn't work well, either, because the strap kept slipping down off of my heel until it would fall off completely. So I ended up cutting off that last strap (the one furthest to the back) and I just wear them with the two remaining straps. Now they stay on better, but they make the flip-flop sound while I'm walking, which isn't that big a deal since I live in flip-flops most of the time anyway. I was just looking for a sandal that was more stable and more of a "shoe" than a flip-flop. So I'll use them anyway, but they're not what I was hoping they'd be.As far as workmanship, they are adequate. I haven't had them that long yet, but they seem sturdy enough. Be aware that there's really no support though. The soles are very flat and thin. They're great for having something to slip onto my feet if I have to run outside for just a minute, like to the mail box, or running a quick errand. But I wouldn't dream of wearing these to do a lot of walking or standing in like to a park, working on your feet for hours, or walking around in the city.
