Hello! I recently ordered and have been wearing both the Karma and Bhakti sandals and have had very different experiences with each. I love and have gone through two pairs of the original yoga sandals.

The Karma sandals were comfortable almost immediately. They’re cute, easy to wear, and feel like a pair I could comfortably wear out and about. Kris in customer service was absolutely right when he recommended them. I was pleasantly surprised by how natural they felt from day one. He was a delight to talk to and encouraged me to try the Karma and I am thankful I did. I was settled initially on the Bhakti sandal to try.

The Bhakti sandals have been more of an adjustment. My left foot, which has a history of knee and alignment issues, definitely feels challenged by them. However, I’ve noticed something interesting: when I consciously improve my posture and leg alignment, the discomfort decreases significantly. Rather than feeling like the sandals are causing a problem, they seem to be making me more aware of movement patterns I’ve developed over the years.

I’ve worn yoga sandals for years and remember needing a gradual break-in period with my original pair as well. The Bhaktis feel like they’ll require patience, but I’m already seeing how they may help me become more mindful of my gait and posture.

Customer service was outstanding. Kris was incredibly kind, helpful, and generous, and it’s rare these days to receive that level of personal attention from a company. That alone made the experience memorable.

I’ll continue wearing both pairs, but my first impression is that the Karma is an easy everyday favorite, while the Bhakti feels more like a therapeutic tool that may provide benefits over time. They both are a versatile and fashionable upgrade over the originals.

Thanks again! I’ve been a loyal fan since yoga sandals first came out!

This makes 20 yrs of wearing Yoga Sandals. I live in them. Thanks for these great sandals.

Only to say Thank you! I've been wearing these sandals for 20 years now. Because of my age I suffer from pain in my spine, hips, knees and ankles. My day was blessed when I found my first pair in a thrift shop. And your sandals do make a difference!

Thank you SO much for ALL your good care for me. Even to this very helpful explanation email which my excellent physical therapist read yesterday. The sandals arrived Monday. My next therapy appointment was yesterday. So I opened the bag there. And he adjusted each toe for me. He had the other two therapists watch. All 3 were very impressed with your workmanship especially by how adjustable you have made it. And the materials, heel support and excellent arch support. So against your advice ... because I "forgot" what was on my feet 😉 ... I ended up waering them 45 minutes during the rest of my appointment during my actual balance / walk therapy. 👏 Then I wiggled out, not wanting to lose the correct "setting" my therapist set each at. And wore my other shoes. Today at home I will do a few sections of time in the while working in food prep in the kitchen. I can see / feel already that these sandals will become my best friends! We need to reduced industrialized toe crunch (my term) shoes and make more available wide toe box shoes. Thank you for the fabulous help your company is to this healthy toe goal! Please never go out of business / retire. I say this out of pur selfishness! Alert me so I can buy enough pairs to last till I am 100 🤣

I love wearing my Black Originals!!! I get a lot of compliments on them. I always direct those interested to your website and emphasize some of the benefits along with praises of what a great company you are to do business with.

Yoga Sandals are saving my feet! Specifically, the Chandra model. I developed great pain in the ball of my foot, and getting to a podiatrist here in a small town is nearly impossible. So, I changed my house shoes to the Chandras model and the pain was gone! The support in the sole, right where the heel ends, and the arch begins, took the pressure of the ball of my foot. I am in my 70's, so found the plastic tubes around the spreaders a bit hard for me, was told I could cut them off without diminishing the value of what the sandal can do. I cut them off and they are perfect for my feet and add to my balance. I just wanted you to know that with the sandal I can walk pain free with balance. I am so relieved. Thank you. Please give the Chandras 5 stars from me!

Life changing. I started wearing your sandals about 23 years ago. I have been a professional dancer and teacher for 43 years. I ran a large dance studio in LA for over 30 years. I spent hours on my feet, my studio was 4 stories high and I was climbing over 150 flights of stairs per day. Yoga Sandals saved my feet and back immeasurably! The minute I took my dance shoes off, Yoga Sandals went onto my feet. I watched as my developing bunions slowly reversed. The pain in my back and hips diminished. I still wear them everywhere, including a 5 mile walk per day. I’ve shared your website with strangers on the street, fellow dancers, students, fellow yogi’s, everyone and anyone that had foot problems or expressed interest in my sandals. For years I tried to get my family to try them, but they wouldn’t listen. I kept being told that they didn’t like things between their toes. They’ve watched me hike in the Rocky mountains and climb over lava in Hawaii wearing your sandals, I have LIVED in them all these years. One by one they started to listen. This weekend I met up with my mom and sisters. It only took 23 years, but I wanted to shared with you what we were wearing on the trip.

Thank you so very much for creating a life changing product! Keep it up, I intend to continue wearing and sharing your sandals for a least another 23 years.

I absolutely love these sandals especially when I work out or get a pedicure. They take a little bit of getting used to but once you do they are super supported and make my feet feel super comfortable all day. Don't hesitate to buy these sandals they are absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

You will not be disappointed in ordering from Yoga Sandals (yogasandals.com)!!! Not only is the product very good, but the people who stand behind the product, are EXCEPTIONAL!!! I misunderstood some details and in trying to figure something out, I talked to Kris. I was not made to feel stupid, it was kindly explained to me, till I got it thru my thick head... LOL!! The situation was resolved, with a lot of humor and just plain GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! What more can you ask of a company?? To have a "very good" product and IF (which I doubt) you have any kind of a problem, you'll get Great Customer Service, something so lacking in today's world!! Make your feet and mind happy, enjoy these sandals and know the customer service is on your side!!! Here's smiling at ya! Pam in Colorado

They are extremely comfortable and relieve back pain

I've been wearing this type of sandals for years now - in the summer - and there is no doubt at all that they help my feet. This is the brand to get, they will last for years, and I am going to look for socks with toes so I can wear them longer throughout the year. And yes, they can be a little awkward to get on, in the beginning, but your toes soon get the hang of it.

These are so ideal for pedicure or to separate your toes! Super comfortable! Can be worn just like flip flops!

Love how they fit! Excellent support! Ease into comfort. Try wearing for few minutes daily and, increase wear time slowly. Order your exact range as they will break in and, stretch!

My sister has 2 pairs & shared how much she loves these sandals. I was excited to get my own after trying on hers! I Love the support of these!

They’re a little bulky but they do the job. I love wearing them around the house and I do wear them out sometimes.

These are my 3rd pair. I love these flip flops. I hav extensive RA arthritis in my feet. Finding any shoes that arent't painful for me to wear is a constant quest. These not only don't hurt, they're super comfortable!

I bought these shoes twice. I wish there were other colors

I've been through 5 different brands of sandals similar to these over the years, but these are by far the best!
The straps fit snuggly, the sole gradually conforms to the foot, and the separators are thick enough to
actually stretch the feet unlike some others.

My first pair finally wore out. The new pair is even better, and more comfortable. My toes are getting much straighter. Yeah!! I am in my 70's.

I have crooked toes and it makes the toes look a lot straighter!

my back and knee feels better; now I just need to get used to the all toes split; I had one lady ask me what is that and is it comfortable? Yes if I can just get my toes to get used to being apart; worth the try for sure!

A replacement for my old pair, which were worn down so much I felt really tall in these! So comfy and help my feet so much.

I love these, my third pair. I wore the others out . Very comfortable.

Love these shoes. So comfortable and great to spread out your tired toes. Since wearing them all my toes slide in easily except the pinkie toe. We're still working on that one. The nice passing between the tired makes them so easy to wear.

These are the BEST for my crazy crooked toes. Really help stretch them out and straighten them at the same
time. The color is basic and there is a small arch support. I find them easy to wear. Love to wear them when
getting pedicures - really keep the toes separated so I don't smudge!

As a massage therapist & yoga gal, these shoes are amazing for foot and spine health. I absolutely love them

Love the product.

Love these, so comfortable with wonderful support. Had my first pair for about 15 years. Excellent craftsmanship.

These aren't as easy to get on at first - not if you really need them, anyway. I found I had to force my toes into place, but the more I wore them, the easier it was. (Still having to use my hands to insert smaller toes into the right spaces sometimes after a few weeks of use.)

But the more you wear them, the better your toes are at separating - and this does wonderful things for your balance. I'm in my mid-70s, and my younger sister recommended them. Both of us saw first a grandmother and then our mother fall and end up walker with a walker - and we'd both do anything to stay on our own 2 feet.

Can't tell you yet whether these will do the trick, but they certainly help! I try to slip them on for a few hours at least every day or two - and they are comfortable enough to wear all day, which I have also done.

These really help make my bunions not so noticeable. They are comfortable for my flat feet and my family said my feet actually look almost normal with these on. LOL

keeps balance and are good for your feet if you have to wear flip flops ;-)

I love these! Super comfortable and great for pedicure or if your arthritis is acting up. My toes felt so much better.

So comfortable after a day in heals! Perfect for pedicures, a walk on the beach or a trip to the mall.
Well made, durable. A favorite of mine for many years, I'm on my third pair!

Best and most comfortable Sandler I ever owned. Can wear with averything and are nice to walk in. Help with keeping my toes separated which is good for the feet.

Bought a second pair! So glad to find them again.

Best shoes ever. Comfortable, therapeutic, can site see, walk, beach it, whatever. They are great.

I have purchased a new pair every year. I love them...

Love these flip flops. So comfortable

Good for my feet!

Awesome sandals

Great fit, separates toes slightly. My hammer toe actually is straighter.

Better than expected

"Just wanted to let you know that I bought my first pair about 10 years ago and I am still wearing them! I am in the market to buy another pair soon. They are getting really ragged looking and I wear them with everything! I am really surprised at how well they have held up since I have one leg shorter than the other."

Love these flip flops. Thanks for carrying them.

Perfect for pedicure days... I don't have to wait for the polish to dry. This is the second pair I've owned and are not quite as comfortable between the toes as the first pair.

"Bought these for my great-aunt, whose toes were all bunched up due to bunions and such, wearing pointy shoes all her youth. She will not take these off. She lives in a beach town, so flip-flops are not uncommon year-round wardrobe staples, and she swears that these made her toes separate almost to what is considered "healthy" or "normal", and it's a great thing because she did not wish to have surgery done on them. She also likes the looks and compliments she gets. Would definitely repurchase. "

"Three years later these are holding up beautifully, Such a good stretch for the feet that I actually had to start wearing them gradually. It is a joy to wear them."

"love these shoes"

"Love these sandals."

"They met my wife's expectations. I would recommend the sandals to anyone looking for style and a very competitive price."

"Haven't worn these too much, but they fit perfectly and I wear a size 8 1/2. They do exactly what I expected them to do with the toe spreaders. Exactly as advertised and good price too!"

"I'm sure I've reviewed these sandals elsewhere - possibly from another vendor. (I'd love to spread the word far and wide about them, just as my toes are spread out right now - ha.) I tried medical/orthopedic treatments for my bilateral Morton's neuroma - everything other than surgery - and I eventually found that the best solution was to make sure my shoes have a high arch (thanks to Hapad all my shoes do now), wear toe socks (most of mine are from Injnji) and wear toe-separating sandals whenever possible. I have this pair, a pair of Toesox Yoginis, and a pair of Toesox Bohemians (?not sure if that's the correct model name, I might have to come back and edit this). These Beech Yoga Sandals are my favorite pair."

"These are awesome. Wear them everyday. Gave these to a dear friend. xoxoxoxoxoxo. Recommend them highly. Great for balance, yoga toe spreading and even pedicures!"

"I love these yoga beech shoes. Especially at the end of the day. I have neuropathy and they really give me a lot if stability. They are a little higher than the usual yoga shoes, giving more support."

"I was skeptical that these would make any difference but ordered them based on the reviews I read. I am pleasantly surprised--there was not any adjustment time and they do provide relief for my feet--I have bunions and arthritis and have worn these up to 6 hours at a time. I will wear them more when the weather warms up!"

"Really comfortable !! I love the feel of the spacing of my toes. Feels like floating on air with each step"

"These are great sandals. No irritation between the toes and a nice,soft footbed. If you have never worn yoga sandals, I would strongly recommend them and these in particular."

"I bought them to relieve achy feet, and so far they are working. It takes a bit to get used to them but I am glad I bought them. I am wearing them around the house in frigid Central New York with toe socks. Can't wait to wear them in summer!"

"Great sandals to wear and good for pedicure. My saloon would like to use them all the time. Would be good to find a local distributor."

"They separate your toes and stretch your muscles and tendons in your foot. Have helped the paid in my foot from two hammer toes and a tailors bunion. I will be purchasing more in other colors."

"Had a hard time finding the sandals in stores around Virginia. Enjoy wearing them all summer long and when I go swimming."

"I ordered Yoga Sandals when they first came out. The original ones had a spot on the bottom of the shoe that eventually came loose and I had to throw them out. I was nervous about the new ones because the new ones have a slight heel. They are just as comfortable and work great! I became pregnant and had some foot pain. I was told to work to separate my toes to help - instead I put these on and my foot pain disappeared! I'm SO pleased!"

"I love love love these yoga sandals. I have a number of foot problems, but when wearing these I don't notice them. The arch support is wonderful, and the shoes are extremely comfortable especially after the first couple of times you that you wear them. I wore a pair for about eight months and one of the toe spacers broke, so I bought another kind that didn't have any arch in them and they were not comfortable. So I purchased another pair of the Beech, and the difference is remarkable. Love Love Love them."

"Bought these for a birthday gift, she was questioning them when she saw them. After wearing them she loves them. Great gift!"

"I wear an 8, and ordered these in a Med. They seemed a little short in the heel when I first tried them on (I think my right heel was right at the edge of the shoe), but I was sure the Lg would be way too big, so I kept them. The arch support hit right at the front of my heel, and that was a little uncomfortable for a week or two. But, as I have stretched into them, I now have a full half inch behind my heel before the edge of the sandal, and the arch support is not noticable, so I am glad I did not upsize. I carry them to work every day to wear while I am at my desk, and I change into my "fancy shoes" for meetings. If I go a day without wearing them, my toes feel tight, like they need a stretch, and I can really tell a difference. It is a little odd to not be able to slip right into them, because I have to adjust my little toes around the thongs, but that only takes a second. I started using "yoga toes" stretchers when I was practicing yoga, but wearing these is so much more practical, and they are so comfortable. I am so glad I ordered them, and I will definitely be getting another pair for spring. I just wish they came in a style that was a little dressier for office wear, because they definitely get noticed."

"Love the Sandals - Good fit - true to size would recommend to anyone who likes or wants to try Yoga Sandals"

"Love the way the shoes relieve my foot pain and stretch them after my long runs. I wear them around the house all the time!"

"They take about a week or so to get used to, but after that are very comfortable. While wearing them, I don't notice the Morton's neuroma that I have. I will definitely purchase them again!"

"Very comfortable. Helps correct posture issues and relax toes that have been cramped from shoes."

"I just wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the XLs. Your company has an unbelievable customer service policy! Of course, I can't live with out my sandals. As it turns out, one of my friends with back problems wears a size 8 and I offered the larges to her. She wore them and told me that her back did not hurt the whole time she was wearing them. Your policies have made another customer for life. AND, they've done an excellent job choosing you to represent the company. I just can't say enough good things............ Have a wonderful weekend!"

"My first pair were damaged slightly and were easily and quickly replaced. These are the best sandals ever for wearing around the house on hardwood floors. I do think they help align your knees and feet. I've had noticeable less knee strain since wearing. Not sure what I will do this winter when it's too cold in the house for sandals!!! LOVE THEM (my feet LOVE them)"

"I've been wearing my yoga sandals for almost 2 weeks and I'm ready to order more! I have bunions, an injured toe that turns in and a little toe that gets squashed by the next toe beside it - constant feet pain in shoes, no matter how orthopedic they are and foot fatigue when barefoot for more than an hour. What a relief to wear the sandals! I already see improvement in the spacing of my toes and my feet feel stronger. Thank you so much for your excellent product! PS I also get many compliments on my Yoga Sandals!"

"Quality and construction is good. Shoe looks good and fits well. Style takes some getting used to, however, it is what I wanted: a shoe to make me use all the muscles in my feet. I spend 10 hours a day on my feet and needed something to slip into that wasn't just stuffing my feet into another shoe. This may be my favorite footwear purchase in a long while."

"I bought a pair of BSC Samoas (mens) from you about 3 years ago. I heard they were great for yogi-toes, (keeping toes healthy and spread), so I bought a pair online. They were an instant hit. Not only were they comfy, but so many people wanted to know what they were, where I got them, how much they cost. I couldn't even count the number of people who have asked to try them on to see how they feel. I've worn them to counltess studios texas. They have made trips with me as far north as Anchorage Alaska. I've worn them on the streets of Las Vegas. They have seen action at the lake for weekends of wake boarding, weekends at the river for off-roading and walked many miles of downtown Houston. Aside from typical use, they have been on my feet while mowing the yard, trimming trees, cleaning out gutters, walking the dog and riding my bike. Aside from being on my feet, they have endured hot days in my car, seen the inside of the washing machine several times, stuffed in luggage, kicked across the room, thrown out on the back patio and buried in mud. I have never had shoes, much less sandals take this kind of abuse. They are still going strong and wear them daily. They're not quite as pretty as they used to be, but They will have a few years left in them. I just wanted to say thank you for selling a great product."

"I live in Hawaii and I need a good pair of sandals / flip-flops and these are the best! I love these shoes!"

"You guys rock! Ordered my first pair of Originals after my mother (already a convert) forwarded me an email, but the wrong size got delivered. Not only is the correct size getting shipped out, I have a pair to create another convert with! You've just gained a lifetime customer."

"I have trouble finding shoes as I have arthritis in my feet. Dansko clogs and sandals are about the only shoes I can wear for any length of time because they have rigid soles. I try to avoid bending my toes in an effort to avoid another surgery. I can never wear flip-flops because I can't use my toes to hold them on. Yoga sandals are just amazing. They separate each toe so that the weight and pressure on the foot is evenly distributed and each toe can work as I guess it was meant to. I wear them even when it is cold out as I find my feet stay warm even though they are exposed - perhaps because each part of the foot is working and the circulation is good. I am able to walk in a much more carefree and enjoyable way when I have them on. They are cheap enough that you can certainly afford to give them a try. I plan to order another pair or two so that I won't be without them if these wear out - which, so far, they have not shown an inclination to do, but they are mostly made of foam rubber so I guess that could be an issue in the future. I have never liked wearing thongs and that has taken some getting used to, but it has been worth it."

"Thank you for offering these wonderful sandals again. I have worn the only pair I have so much, it will be nice to have new fresh ones. Great indoors on tile floors too, cushions the walk and the back. I get lots of comments, I'm a walking advertisement."

"You'd have to search pretty hard to find someone more skeptical than me. I have a sticker glued on my computer that I got from the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry. The sticker says "I Doubt It!" I'm not from Missouri, but I'll bet I could give any resident of the "Show-Me State" some lessons on skepticism.

With that said, you'll realize why I was very skeptical when I first found out about the purported health benefits of Beech Yoga Sandals. I don't even remember when I first came across them, but it was probably while I was searching on-line for non-surgical ways to relieve the chronic back pain that my wife has suffered for years. I read some testimonials and reviews of these Yoga Sandals, and figured I had nothing to lose by ordering a pair for her.

Well, all I can say is that they really do work. One of our hobbies is international cooking, and we often spend five or six hours a day standing in the kitchen preparing exotic, multi-course ethnic meals. Wearing these sandals REALLY improved my wife's stamina in being able to stand for long periods of time. She has said that she wouldn't be able to do it if she didn't have them. I tried a pair myself, although I do not have back problems, and I found them to be very comfortable and helpful in reducing the heel pain that I sometimes experience after standing for a long time. They have become my go-to sandals for errands, shopping and even for road trips.

What's left to say? If you have back or leg problems, you should give them a try. You may be pleasantly surprised. The beneficial health effects of Beech Yoga Sandals are not something to be skeptical about."

"Just wanted to let you know how much I love my Yoga Sandals! I just ordered 2 more pairs in the Hotties style in black. I currently own a pair of the Original's in black and the Comfy's in purple. Everyone that has seen them ask me if they are comfortable and it's a resounding YES! I also find that with having my toes aligned, my knees are not in pain, I can walk normally and the occasional flare-up with plantar fasciitis is no longer there. I also ordered several pairs for friends who do suffer from plantar fasciitis and they've told me how much better they feel with the yoga sandals. I suggest that you might want to add that wearing yoga sandals help with plantar fasciitis. Thanks so much!"

"I am a very active music teacher with 500 students each week. Sore knees and ankles were slowing me down in my recent years. More than a year ago, I started wearing your yoga sandals. What a change!! I realize that they make me use my entire foot when I stand and walk, and the knee pain was from that misalignment. I believe that your sandals have changed my energy level and the long-term health of my body.

As I interact with teachers and friends, I promote your product whenever possible for I think you have designed something that has been life-changing for me and might be for others.  Please keep creating new styles!

Your biggest music teacher fan,
Kathleen F

Feel free to use this in a promotion and let me know if there is anything else that I can do to promote your product.  With sincerity."

"I bought these sandals, because I was facing more foot surgery. The yoga sandals were recommended by a friend who gave me your catalog. Great fit, awesome support, and my feet are feeling stronger, and are not turning to the outside. I wear them every chance I get. Thanks for a great product, will be buying more soon."

"These are the most awesome sandals ever!!! Very comfortable. I have arthritic feet, and they feel great to me. Will buy more!!!!"

"I have had pain under right ball of foot for a year. Since wearing these shoes, pain is COMPLETELY GONE. Also...I can walk a good fast 30 minute walk over hills in these shoes. I do practice yoga and already had my toes "trained" for the split...might be uncomfortable if not used to that. For me, fabulous! I've told everyone! Taken catalogs to Yoga school. Get these!"

"I bought the blue beech yoga sandals, since I already had black... They have a lot of cushion and the protection between the toes are comfy!"

"I ordered these for my daughter and I wish I had ordered a pair of these for myself! They are incredibly comfortable and fun to wear. They run wide enough for my daughter who has a wide foot."

"I love these sandals; lets face it if our feet aren't happy we are a mess. I am so happy to find them in colors. I have been wearing this same style sandal for over five years, so I can compare them to other brands. I was initally introduced to them through my yoga class. It took me a couple of days to get use to the pressure between my toes, but I wouldn't live with out them now and the benefits are immeasurable. I did notice that this particular sandal and I own two are bit tight but I actually like the snug feeling. The last pair I bought from a competitor fell apart within a season, not so with these, I've worn the black pair for an entire season and they still look brand new."

"These sandals are great. I can wear them to work in all day long and my feet feel just fine. I have trouble with bone spurs in my heel so I have to be really careful when buying summer sandals to wear that won't make my heels ache by the end of the day. they are a little pricey for flip flop sandals but well worth the extra money."

"Comfy, helps with toes, keeps my balance, where it all the time, every day, inside my house and I've been thinking of purchasing one for outside purposes, but it seems a bit steep in price for the material. My right foot seems to be the weaker one and it has helped with spreading the toes and balance, if they had a better deal, I would purchase for outside and for wearing at work while I'm sitting."

"I love these new "flip flops" because they are helping with my hammertoe problem. My only wish is that the insert between big and next toe on rt. sandal were wider to force my toes apart with more push. They help a bit and are very comfortable, so I'm glad I got them."

"This is my second pair of this sandal. Not only do I like them for pedis, but so does the pedicurist. They have a higher heel and I can wear them pretty much all day. Great pedi sandal!"

"I have lower back issues that keep me from wearing thongs, but these were recommended by my physical therapist and I have to say - I'm in love!"

"I've been trying to separate my toes and these sandals enable that. The plastic on the separators is not ideal, but tolerable."

"Best shoes I have ever owned of any kind. Compliments all the time. I want to buy more. I would like to be a spokeswoman for them."

"I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these sandals. I blew out the first pair at the end of last summer and couldn't go without a new pair for this season. Highly recommend to anyone!"

"I'm a massage therapist and I have to maintain a certain posture while massaging and I found that my balance was a little off. Someone reccommended the yoga sandals to me because it allows your toes to be spread out for more movement. The first week of wearing them it was uncomfortable cause my toes weren't used to them, but as you wear them you find that your balance is better your posture gets better and you feel more grounded. I reccommend these to my clients with foot or balance issues. I'm buying another pair to enhance my wardrobe options. Best invention ever!"

"Very comfortable casual shoe. Nice enough to wear outside but I wish they also offered a dressier version with the toe separators. I will be purchasing another pair for summer."

"Whether you practice yoga or not, you will love these sandals. I always have at least one pair but in the summer I have two. These stretch your toes and offer more support to your legs and lower back. The sandals conform to the shape of your foot for a good fit. I highly recommend these to people with knee problems because having thongs for each toe puts less pressure on the knee joint and lower leg when walking. If you're not sure what I mean, put on a pair of regular thongs (where you hold one strap between the big toe and second toe) and then pay attention to how your leg works to keep the sandal on your foot. Then, try these. You'll notice the difference immediately."

"I decided to try the fur covered first with a coupon before investing in the more pricey regular yoga sandal with add-ons for between the toes to see how they would fit. Also,I was unsure of the size, normally a 7.5, but I didn't want them too short. I went with the 8+ size and it works fine. Super comfortable, stay on my feet, and definitely are helping me with my balance and posture."

"I didn't think there was a sandal out there that was made for my feet. Between the after effects of a bad bunion surgery and arthritis, my feet don't tolerate any shoe for any length of time. I recently wore these sandals for two full days of sightseeing/shopping and my feet felt wonderful the whole time. This is a first! Would highly recommend them."

"This is my second pair of yoga sandals, and so far the slight changes to the design seem good. The first pair lasted almost three seasons. These are better for your feet than regular flip-flops, and they have a thicker sole, which looks elegant and performs great."

"had all the women at the nail salon asking where I got them!"

"I invested in these sandals for my pedicures. I soon discovered how great they are to wear anywhere!"

"Comforatable, eases stressed feet, love wearing them. Once your toes adjust, takes a few times to get use to putting on sandlals but I love coming home and slipping them on."

"These are my second pair, now I have red and blue. The sandals are so comforatable, I can wear them all day. I love the toe separators, they're great for pedicures. I woud recommend these to anyone."

"These sandals are wonderful! I, unfortunately, have numerous foot problems including hammer toes, neuropathy and high arches, and these sandals make my feet feel so much better. They separate the toes beautifully and force the toes and feet into a more natural position. After a day of wearing them, my feet don't hurt at all, and that's been a rarety lately! The arch support is good too. Highly recommended."

"I have wasted a lot of money trying to find shoes that would not irritate my bunions or cause hip and knee pain. After researching the yoga sandals, I decided to give them a try. They are the first pair of sandals that I could walk in without experiencing pain. In fact, I just returned from a vacation in Old Quebec where I walked miles up hills and down wearing these sandals, with literally no pain. I also notice an improvement in the alignment of my toes. I plan on purchasing another pair and highly recommend these to anyone suffering from foot problems."

"I love these sandals & would never go back 2 flip flops. They're perfect 4 exercising ur toes. I have bunions & I wear these all the time when I'm at home as well as 4 pedicures. I bought a pair 4 a friend last Christmas & a pair 4 my sis. They both have terrible buions & love these sandals just as much as I do....I knew they would."

"I have had 3 foot surgeries for bunions, hammertoe and plant fasciaitis. My second toe continues to overlap the third. I love, love, love these thongs. I have used them daily for three weeks now and have noticed the alignment of my toes beginning to correct. I continue to use a silicone toe separater between my second and third toe to facilitate straightening of the second toe, and I am very hopeful for good alignment without another surgery. I'm so glad to find smart feet!"

"I read the reviews and debated whether I wanted to buy these or not. I have a crooked toe on each foot. When I got them at first I had trouble getting them on. Now all I do is slide my feet in them. I have bad lower back problems and when I wear them out shopping or etc, I have no pain in my lower back and I am thinking about buying another pair. Have had compliments on them and people want to kknow where I got them."

"I have been planning on surgery this year for painful bunions. Beyond all expectation, and as unbelievable as this may sound, these sandals have reduced my pain by 90%. (I wear them mostly all day, I live in a hot climate) Thank you, thank you, I may be able to push surgery back for years now. They look fine to me, often people want to know where to get them."

"Just bought my second pair. First ones white/black and now have the pink too. Comfortable and able to walk miles with them. Keeps my feet in line rather than walking off the back side of regular flip flops."

"I liked these so much I boughy my mom a pair in orange. She got so many requests for where to purchase that she Posted it to her Facebook page. The shoes are comfortable and you don't notice the toe separators after a few minutes. I actually feel like I can grip the shoe better in these shoes than my flip flops too."

"You certainly aren't going to walk a Marathon, but I would recommend them. They are comfortable right from the start. I had no trouble with the plastic between my toes. I will buy them again when these wear out."

"I have many foot problems and these shoes actually help the way my feet feel. I've gotten many comments on them because they have material going between each toe, which separates the toes and actually makes my toes feel better."

"These are the summer version of the closed toe "Five Finger" Vibram running shoes, which I also have. They're designed to make you spread your toes--which no shoe you have ever worn before has required of you. That's why women's feet have toes that are squeezed together into a point, usually with an attractive bunion or several corns. Women's shoes are the Western version of Chinese foot binding--check out the Internet for what those women's feet looked like! These shoes spread the toes out, and make the pinky and the fourth toe work along with the other three toes. This supports your foot platform which improves balance, helps with posture, and posture related problems (backaches, knee problems, etc.). I bought these to get my toes in shape for yoga--but the shoes will need breaking in. This is because, aside from the big toe and second toe, the rest of the toes are virgins and they DON'T LIKE that thong. They want to cuddle together, especially the pinky, who NO WAY wants to hang out at the edge of the foot by herself. Wear them 1 hour the first day, 1.5 the second day and so on, until your toes understand that they're not in Kansas anymore. You can notice an improvement in your stance and balance after 3 or 4 wearings. Ininji and other manufacturers make 5 finger socks--so you can continue the process of spreading your toes while wearing your regular shoes."

"I have hammer toes and often awaken with stiff feet. Wearing the Beech Yoga sandals has helped spread and straighten my toes. The yoga sandals also relieve stiffness and improve foot flexibility. As other reviewers noted, it takes a while to get used to them and at first you might have to help your toes fit between the spacers. After some consistent use, your toes will be able to slide into place without any help. I have the all black sandals which I can wear to work in summer. The carrying bag that comes with them is nice for travel. I have worn mine for about a year and they are still in great condition. I will buy more pairs - they are great!"

"These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn. They are stable and really help with a lot of foot problems."

"These are incredibly comfortable shoes, as well as beautifully crafted. They do everything you would want in a spa or yoga sandal and the price was more than fair."

"I ordered two pair of these, orange & blue, they are great. I find them extremely comfortable. I have Morton's neuroma under my 3-4th toe on my right foot. Wearing these shoes corrects & spreads, my toes and the pain of the neuroma is minimal. I would wear them all the time except when I'm walking or at work (on my feet all day) I need shoes with arch support. Sigh, if only these shoes could be made with arch support they would be perfect!"

"I really bought these on a whim after floundering all over the place in my 1st yoga class in years and what a surprise, they really worked! My balance improved immediately. Far from perfect but much better. Since I just received them, I'm sure I will continue to improve as I wear them more. They are also great for that pedicure on the run. No waiting for the toes to dry (tried that yesterday)"

"I have Morton's Neuroma in my left foot and a heel spur in my right foot (which actually leaves a dented shape in any shoe I wear) including this one, however, these sandals solved both problems. I am happy, very happy, it took a short time to for my feet (toes) to accustom themselves to a new fit but once there it is bliss, I use them all summer, buy at least 2 pair per year."

"I've tried to straighten my toes during many a yoga class. No luck. Gradually, I got my toes used to the new alignment by wearing the Beech sandals for an hour a day, then a couple of hours per day, and finally working up to six hours per day. Now my toes look for the sandals wheneverI remove my work shoes. They love the separation and greater foot stability. I'm buying a second pair because they're great!"

"I have always had trouble with my feet (bunions, hammer toes, etc.), these sandals make my feet feel good, my toes are re-aligning the way they should be and I feel like it has made a difference in my posture."

"Super way to relax your foot and keep it aligned.Use it as house slipper and favorite summer sandle. Wish it were flleece lined for the winter, love the way it comforts tired feet."

"Great for any pedicure and can be worn all day."

"It took my toes a few days to adjust to these shoes, but now my feet and toes want to send many thanks to Foot Smart. Now it is so easy to separate my toes for a great pedicure I would recommend these shoes for any one that has toes that hide behind each other due to wearing pointed toe high heels all those years."

"I have been having trouble with my feet, especially my left foot for the past couple of months. Hurt so to walk, even when sitting I had pain in the left foot. Ordered these sandals, got them yesterday, put them on immediately, wore them all afternoon and evening. Got up this morning, put them on and can't believe how much better my feet feel already. I'm really encouraged. Feel these sandals are really going to help my feet and at a reasonable cost. I am very pleased with this purchase. (Also, I NEVER write reviews so you have to know I'm impressed!)"

"This is my second pair of Beech yoga sandals. The first pair was a gift from a yoga instructor who thought they might help me. They ease the pain in my hips and heels of my feet. I wear them indoors in the winter and all summer also. I will soon be purchasing a pair of red ones! I would advise anyone who has not tried them to at least try a pair on. They are very durable, too."

"These sandals are wonderful. I would recommend them to anyone who has the kinds of foot problems I have -- bunions and arthritis. I've had my sandals two days and I notice the difference already. I did have to remove the plastic tubing on the toe separators because they caused pain that was counterproductive. But, without the plastic tubing, they work just as they claim to. I will buy more later on."

"When I recieved Yoga sandals they look strange because of the toe spreaders and I did not think I would like them. I had a hard time at first getting all my toes lined up correctly, but once you set them up its a breeze. When I first wore them they hurt differnt toes but as the day went on they felt great and I was surprise of the support they give you, not like the single flip flop. I really love them and would recomend them. I have people stop me to ask me where I have bought them."

"I don't understand the people complaining about these shoes. They help straighten toes, and that 's one of the things we do in yoga, try to put our fingers between each toe, for a yoga handshake. Anyone who complains about the shoes --give them more time. Our toes have been pushed together for years by shoe manufacturers, and this gives the toes a chance to expand and do the work they were meant to do."

"I purchased a pair of women's beech yoga sandals and have found them to be helpful in keeping my toes separate and straight. The sandals were very uncomfortable at first, with tubes covering the ties between the toes. The tubing made the sandals too tight and made my toes itch like crazy. I called FootSmart and asked if the tubing could be removed. The customer service person assured me that they could be removed and still retain the integrity of the shoe. Without the tubing, the sandals fit perfectly and have been fine for me. While I have not worn them for long walks, I do I like to wear them while just hanging around. They keep my toes straight and separate. My sandals are all black and really have an attractive leathery look to them. Overall, I am very pleased and would recommend the sandals."

"Love these sandals. Very very comfortable. True to size. Would recommend these sandals to everyone."

"I was skeptical because of some reviews, but from the moment I put them on my feet-I love them! I have plantar facititis and work on my feet, so I usually try everything. These are COMFORT for my aching feet! (And I hate flip flops!)"

"These were a little hard to get used to at first, because I usually don't wear thong type shoes, but once I wore them for awhile my feet felt really good. Just enough separation between the toes."

"My feet need the support of a shoe/boot when working outdoors but no matter how wide the toe box is; I find my toes still get crunched together by the end of the day. There is nothing better than coming in at the end of the day or even for a lunch break and putting these on!!! My toes get the separation and relief they need. I have been wearing these all summer for this purpose and my feet have never been so happy!!!! It only took a few days to get used to the toe separators and now my toes slide right into the correct positions. I also found them surprisingly supportive for a sandal, which is very important for my many foot issues."

"I have been very pleased with these flipflops. They exercise my toes and help with my posture. It is almost like retraining your toes to straighten out."

"These are the best things I have ever put on my poor, aching feet. I am the proud owner of heel spurs, pump bump, and general old lady misery. Thank you Beech for making my feet happy!"

"I purchased a pair of these for both me and my mom. A lady at work has them in every color and absolutely loves them. I find that when I wear these I don't lean on the sides of my feet, like I usually do, which brings on pain in my legs and lower back. They help keep me balanced. The thongs took a little getting used to but now they are very comfortable and easier to slip on and off. Love my royal blue!"

"I had a hard time getting them on because my crooked, curled, overlapping toes did not want to be straightened; but already they look straighter than they have in years. I'm going to cut the plastic covers off the toe separators to make it easier to get them on the next time and am hoping I don't ruin the shoes. They do feel uncomfortable when you first put them on, but I know from past experience with single thong shoes that the discomfort will pass. Thank you Beech people!"

"love to wear these just to flop around in when you can't be barefoot."

"I love these thongs! During the summer, I wear thongs every day - and these are so comfortable. I have thongs in every color to match my clothes and I will definitely be buying more Yoga Sandals. I feel I am really taking care of my feet in these thongs, not mistreating them for pain later on."

"These sandals are not only great for pedicures, they are extremely comfortable and help relieve the aches and pains from wearing heals or other constrictive shoes. I highly recommend them!!"

"These sandals are fantastic! I use them for every pedicure,. NO more toe seperators, I just get up and go. This new model has great colors and are super comfy. I now wear them all over and my back seems to feel better too. I love them so much, I'm giving a pair to everyone on my birthday list this year."

"It's wonderful to see Beech Sandals finally offered by FootSmart. I own several pairs. They are very comfortable, improve posture and provide stable support. I enjoy the variety of colors that match my different outfits. Because of the separators between the toes, they stay on your feet better than ordinary thongs. The sandals are durable and well-constructed, and they are perfect for pedicures. I really love my Beech Sandals."

"Because they were so comfy I wore my first pair all the time around the house. They were starting to wear out after a year so I had to order another pair. Needless to say, I love them."

"These sandals are soooooo comfortable. I just got them and wear them all day long in the house. I love the toe separaters. Especially good for people who have problems with toes overlaping each other. This for sure will correct the problem. They do run small, so be sure to order the next size up. I highly recommend them."

"I have chronic pain and posture/gait problems, bought these sandals for walking/standing around the apartment, and they are working wonders for my posture even when I'm not wearing them. Highly recommend."

"I wore these during the summer and found I walked better with them. My replaced hip didn't ache as it had and walking was more comfortable. Recommended them to total strangers."

"I purchased to help increase the flexibility in my toes so that they will spread more easily. These sandals are doing the job! It did take some getting used to, but I anticipated that. Have had several people ask about them, and have recommended them highly. Also good to wear when going for pedicures!"

"These are wonderful, I wear them whenever possible. They provide a gentle stretch! During yoga class I notice more flexability in my toes and an increased ability to find the four corners of my feet"

"I bought these sandals over a month ago now -- just as sandals -- they are great! Unlike "flip flops" these really have great cushioning :) The bands between each toe takes some getting used to but they actually feel great -- much better than I expected. I've only had them a month so not sure I can rate their "effectiveness" as yoga for my toes but they do feel great. Only caveat is that you really really need to order at least 1/2 size larger than your regular shoe size! And keep wearing them through the "awkward" phase!"

"I wore these sandals a few hours a day for five days. My overlapping toes are already straightening. The shoes make my toes feel "stretched," in a very pleasant way. My daughter tried mine and liked them. So I gave them to her, and will order another pair for myself."

"Yoga sandals are excellent for your feet as well as comfortable. Everyone should have a pair to keep your feet healthy. I buy them for friends and family all the time."

"I love these slippers, they help with stretching my toes. You will need to alot a short time to get used to them, but they are great! I absolutely love them. I use them at home and outdoors too."

"I absolutely love these sandels. After a week of wearing them I noticed I did'nt walk with my shoulders forward,(nstead of back and straight)which means my body is out of aligment with the spinal cord. The sandals force me to walk up-right."

"When I first received these sandals my feet had to get used to the way it felt for my toes to be separated and the rubber was irritating, but it does take time to get used to, so don't be discouraged. Wear them a little at a time and then there will come a time when you are so comfortable in them that you will work out with them on. They have great cushioning and support you in such a way that I even use them when I do my jumping/bouncing up and down exercises-like being on a trampoline and you don't feel any shock to your knees.
I do L-o-v-e these sandals and hope you will, too!
Namaste!

"I was surprised by how comfortable these are and how good for my feet. I'm not a flip-flop wearer and was worried about buying these, but they turned out to be an excellent purchase."

"I bought these yoga sandals several years ago. I was beginning to get a bunion and wearing these sandals changed the position of my toes and I am bunion free!! I wear them when I get home from work or whenever my feet feel tired. I even wear these around the house in the winter with yoga socks. They are also great when you go for a pedicure, and always get alot of attention."

"These sandals are fantastic, I literally wear them everywhere and it's been difficult finding another pair of sandals that even come close to the comfort these offer. I've had them for about two years now and they still look great and feel great, they've helped my toes become more spaced out and my feet have become more flexible. I get comments on them all the time and people asking me where I ordered them :)"

"I bought the sandals for my sister, tried them myself for a minute and found them to be comfortable although in my case (sensitive feet) it would have taken a little time to get used to them. They look good and feel good at first impression."

"I like wearing these sandals, and they are working wonders for my toes. They were badly curled and have straightened out nicely. Start wearing them for short periods, then gradually increase the wearing time. They really help!"

"I too have a large shoe size, most times 10, so ordered one size up, which worked beautifully. really had been having trouble with arches and "crunched" toes from my "Professional" shoes. This really seems to be helping. I was able to wear them for hours right off the bat."

"My toes didn't have the ability to spread on their own & my yoga poses lacked balance. I REALLY like ability to add the toe separator when your body is ready. As a novice, there is no way I could have worn these sandals otherwise... Now I can wear them multiple hours of the day."

"I used to wear yoga socks to help stretch out my toes, but after I got these I never even use the socks anymore. I can wear these everywhere and I have really noticed an improvement in how my feet feel and how flexible my toes have become. These are definitely worth the price!"

"bought a pair for myself and mother in law for christmas. received quickly. sandals are comfortable and good for foot fatigue. very glad i purchased them."

"These sandals draw lots of attention, yet that is not the only reason to purchase them. I bought two pair - black and blue - at the beginning of the summer and have worn them everywhere. They take a bit of time to get used to, but after you become accustomed to them, you'll not want to go back to any other kind of shoe (get toe socks to go with them to extend the wearing season). I have a bunion on one foot that was getting quite bad, but wearing these sandals has significantly corrected it. Another toe that was bent is now flat. I can now spread and move my toes. I love these sandals!"

"First time trying them on was a little challenging. Now, they just slip easily. It took about a week to get use to them, now, my preferred sandal. I especially appreciate the relief feeling I get from my sore bunions at the end of the day."

"These sandals are extremely comfortable and easy to wear. I thought I might not like the plastic between the toes, but I got used to it after a week, and now they're easily my favorite shoes! I can even drive in them (which is sometimes hard in flip flops); they are close-fitting, and you feel very in control. Although they are a bit expensive, they are really sturdy and seem like they will last a long time. I love 'em!"

"I puchased these shoes for my mother because she was always complaining of her toes starting to cross. She LOVES these shoes! She was initially concerned they would not be comfortable or makes her toes sore but as other reviews have stated, they are awesome. She has woren these shoes for almost 2mths with success!"

"I have been a runner most of my life and my feet have taken a beating! These sandals help improve my stance, spread my toes and make my feet feel stronger and more relaxed at the end of the day. This is the second pair I've owned and I wear them everywhere! Love the new design."

"I have rheumatoid arthritis and my feet are always an issue...finding the right shoes for best comfort as I try to be active and I am on my feet a lot. I expected more discomfort at the beginning from reading other reviews, but I was pleased to find it took a day or two to get used to but my feet did not cramp or hurt at all while wearing or after wearing. In fact, my feet feel great! And, so do my ankles! My balance seems better too. The only complaint are the interchangeable bead strips - be very careful changing them as part of the strip and bead broke off of mine when I attempted to change color."

"My feet haven't felt this good in years! I will say that I did have an adjustment period, but it was only about a week. Now I wear my sandels most of the day. I only take them off when I'm going outside. Can't wait to purchase more!"

"I love these sandals. They are extremely comfortable and well made. I also gave them to my mother who has crossed toes and she won't leave home without them."

"I have curved toes that overlap one another and this helps stretch, temporarily straighten them out. Very comfortable, very helpful for my foot problem."

"I really like these sandals. They are so comfortable. I wear them everywhere. My feet don't feel tired and achy at the end of the day. They are very well made and should last a long time."

"These sandals are really worth it. I can walk around all I want and my feet and legas feel great."

"These yoga sandals have helped to stretch out my toes so that the pain from plantar fasciitis has subsided significantly! I have even received complements on their appearance!"

"Love Love Love My Shoes! Wear them everywhere! I had no problem with the dividers between the toes. They are the perfect shoes for my feet at this time in my life. Thank you"

"I absolutely love these sandals and wear them every day. After the initial getting use to (three days) my toes adapted to the seperation and now I won't wear anything else. These definitely make my feet happy...my posture feels better...and I know I am doing something good for my body with each step."

"I've had my sandals for almost 2 years and I absolutely love them...so much so that I got myself about a dozen pair of toe socks, so that I can wear my sandals all year long. I recommend them to everyone that asks about them.
And they are so comfortable!. I can wear them shopping all day and my feet don't get tired!"

"I was concerned that the straps between each toe would be uncomfortable, but my fears were unfounded. These sandals feel great on my feet and I can hardly wait until it's warm enough to wear them everywhere I go!"

"Like them. They are almost like my first pair. Was a little disappointed that I had to break them in even though my feet were already broken in from my last pair but no worries. They are great."

"These are exactly what I wanted but the size is larger than I thought it would be. Still great to run around the house in."

"I received mine today! They are not only quite stylish, but VERY COMFORTABLE and EXCELLENT ARCH SUPPORT FOR FLAT FEET!"

"These are great, especialy for crooked arthritic feet. They help to keep the toes separated and comfortable. Great invention!!!"

"Hammer toes have made wearing many of my shoes impossible. This product not only offers comfort but hopefully will help straighten my toes."

"This flip-flop, type shoe will work the Extrinsic muscles of the foot. As a runner, I need that extra help. That was my reason for the purchase. It is well made, very comfortable, & cute. I've had a lot of people comment on them."

"My toes were so tight I could not exercise them. Not even a water spa helped. I would stumble and drag my feet after only a few minutes of walking. I needed help. When I saw these spa sandals I hoped they could help me. The first time I had trouble separating my toes to get them on. I have had them for a week now and they have done wonders for me! I only wear them for 2 hours a day after my shower because the cords between my toes cause me some discomfort. But I can now freely exercise my toes and I can now walk for longer periods of time. My feet feel like they have a had a deep massage after taking the thongs off. Heaven."

"I love thses sandals I have plantar facitis and also do yoga and I am learning the importance of stretching and using the toes. These sandals are great for this and are so comfortable. The only complaint that I have is the sizing. I usualyy wear anywhere from a 9 to a 10. I ordered the 8-9.5 and they fit but just. I didn't order the next size up because I was afraid that they would be too big and I would trip. It would have been nicer if the sizing would have been done a little bit differently."

"When it comes to flip flops, I am a total flop! Now I can go for a pedicure and actually be able to walk out of the shop without falling flat on my face. I will need to order another pair, the Medium turned out to be a little too short for my size 7 foot and I'm hoping that the Large will also be a little bit wider. But, on the whole I love them!"

"Love these shoes. I have Morton's Neuromo but with these shoes the pain is non existing. I live in them. My only complaint would be the sizing. I take a size 10 but the size is 10 - 11-1/2 and that makes the shoe look too big on me. The next size is 8 - 9-1/2 and that is a little too small. I wish they would make them for one size as then they would fit and look better. I bought the yoga toe socks to go with them and that way I can wear them in the cooler weather too. I would have given them 5 stars if the sizing was better."

"I have had 13 major surgeries now on my right foot with pins and rods in the toes numerous times after the foot being crushed in 1978. The toes are fal-formed now and extremely close to one another causing an athletes foot type of problem in between the last four digits. The LEFT shoe fits great, the right is not fitting the toes really well, but that is my own toe problem. I do find that the plastic over the shoe lace coverings between the toes was making the toes sweat, so I removed it. NO SWEAT NOW!"

"The yoga sandals have helped with spreading my toes for my yoga practice. I would recommend these to anyone who has difficulty spreading their toes. They took some getting used to at first and now I wear them every chance I get around home."

"Fabulous! These sandal are great to come home to and wear all evening as they do help the bones in the feet to become more mobile and they help improve posture balance and overall foot health. Very comfortable. **Could you combine these sandals with the Othaheel footbed?"

"I have a variety of foot problems including overlapping toes. I am wearing these shoes just around the house. Since they do not accomodate my orthotics I am not wearing them for long durations. These shoes are very comfortable and have alleviated some of my foot pain. I have noticed my toes staying straighter even without the shoes on since I started wearing them."

"These are definitely weird at first, but once you get used to them, they feel absolutely amazing!"

"I've been wearing them for just under 2 weeks and I absolutely LOVE THEM! It was a bit difficult to separate and slide my toes through the individual toe dividers at first, but as time goes on, my toes have adapted, become more flexible, and I'm able to get them on more easily. I usually wear them exclusively at night at home for about 6-8 hours, and eventually will work up to longer periods of time. I only have 1 negative. I wore them outside 1 time to yoga class, which was a primary reason I purchased them, and though they were very comfortable, I noticed that 1 sandals' toes were starting to pull away from the body of the sandal. Whether I got a semi defective pair, or these aren't sturdy enought for walking around on daily outdoor use, I don't know. I haven't had a chance to call customer service yet.
Other than that, if your goal is to stretch out the ligaments & tendons in your toes & feet, and get a semi massage as you're doing so-this is the sandal for you! They're very comfortable, and I can feel my toes & muscles being gently stretched.
I do love them.
BevM...Florida (If I were home, I'd add a pic-smile). Will do so another time. Great product, which I've already recommended to several people in my yoga classes."

"I love the sandals, wear them everywhere I go, all my yoga friends asked me where I got them, and how I liked them, of course I love them!"

"I almost sent these back after wearing them for about 30 minutes. But I decided to keep trying them and after about three days I began to love them."
