DREAM PAIRS Men's Sandals Hiking Water Beach Sport Outdoor Athletic Arch Support Summer Sandals

I had been searching for shoes for my elderly father with very large feet for several years. He wears at least a size 13 and can't get the flat wide fronts of his feet in most shoes; so sneakers, loafers, slip-on loafers Style with elastic or zippers won't work.I started looking for sandals that weren't too expensive, hahaha, with adjustable straps across the toes and front of ankles. Everything was so expensive and didn't have all the features he would need; plus, I didn't think he'd be able to manage adjusting all the straps. I did a deep dive search and found these, which also had the adjustable strap on the back of the ankle.Another problem is the shoes had to fit properly, and have to be securely on his feet. He is mainly in a wheelchair, but can stand and transfer, and, of course, gets up and walks around when he isn't supposed to! Needed something for stability and balance, safety, and that he could manage getting on and off easily.I ordered two pairs. The green, and the black with tan. Wow! Not only do the sandals look super nice, the size 13 fit perfectly. And it only took him a couple weeks to start exclusively using these; so I was able to retire his velcro closure sneakers.These are much more convenient for ALF living, for more quickly getting shoes off and on to get in and out of bed, especially for those urgent needs to transfer to wheelchair and get into the bathroom!Another major Plus, I needed sandals that were good for water, because sometimes accidents happen and the shoes need to be washed; and I've already had to do this several times with these awesome water sandals.And he really loves these sandals. I also love them because he's able to get more air to his feet. He still has to wear socks, because he's supposed to be wearing compression socks...supposed to be! And his feet get cold. But even with socks, he's getting more air to his feet, which is important for things like preventing fungus and bacterial infections.His feet are so large that my women's 9.5 feet look tiny in comparison!The arch support is there, but I don't think it's very big. That was something else I was originally looking for, until I realized, since he won't be walking or standing very long anymore, I just needed a little bit of support for him now. That made it much easier to find sandals for him, and how I ended up finding Dream Pairs.I definitely recommend unless you need serious arch support.

I purchased this sandal for my teen son who needs sandals or shoes that supports his high instep as well as to allow room for his hammer toes. The search was long as I wanted not only for him to have a sandal that could be for outdoor, outing as well as during his vigorous runs etc, but I also wanted that had great quality and comfort. This was definitely the one! So far, he says it's great, feels soft under his feet, easy to move in and no blisters. Straps are easy for him to use and adjust to comfort and the sandal is light weight. The overall style looks amazing on his feet and I am so satisfied with my pruchase!!

Velcro doesn't always hold well, but otherwise good. Not very slippery on most surfaces. Fit pretty well.

Very good quality.. great velcro straps and length .. perfect thickness, very comfortable when walking,

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I generally base my choices on ratings, reviews, price, and features, in that order. This item has been well accepted, and as soon as I put these sandals on, I had to agree. These are the most comfortable footwear I've had in a long time, and I haven't worn anything else since I got them. From the pictures, they don't LOOK especially comfortable, but this is definitely a case of looks being deceiving. These sandals are quite well cushioned, from the footbed, to the straps that secure them on your foot. They seem to live up to their name, at least in terms of comfort, and that is the most important aspect for me.I can't yet attest to their durability because I've only had them for maybe a week or two, but so far, their construction is holding up to use and (hand) washings without fail. I will amend this review if they break or fail in any way within a year, and also if they last longer than 2.5 years.Upon close inspection I discovered that the black parts of the sole (of the grey ones, at least) is paint, not a different material. It's pretty carefully applied, but you can tell upon close inspection. So, that will wear off fairly soon. Not a deal-breaker for me, but YMMV.Other reviews mentioned that these run a little small. I'm a men's size 8.5 (US), and they didn't have half sizes, so I got a size 9, and it fits very well. Features that may turn out to be downsides: there is a 3.5mm deep groove running around the footbed where your foot rests that seems to collect dead skin cells, dust, and tiny bits of debris fairly quickly, and gives bacteria a chance to cause odor. I use a medium-soft cleaning brush (like an old toothbrush) to clear this out when I wash them after wearing them on bare feet (I also wear them with ankle socks so they won't stick to my feet, which I hate). I get why they added this groove (to keep your bare feet from sticking solidly to the footbed when sweaty), but having to clean it out frequently is a little bit of a pain to have to deal with.Overall, I recommend these sandals.

Fit well, good traction (best of sandals I have), high quality
