@Sweet Kitties I'm happy to pay $60 for their sandals. They have literally saved my feet from intense pain due to planter faciitus. If you don't suffer from feet problem that are painful, then that's great, but for those that can barely walk without significant arch support, those sandals are a lifesaver!
I probably have 15+ pairs that I've purchased over the years.
I do find the arch support is higher on the sandals with the rubber bottoms then the boots or closed shoes.
If you are suffering from planter faciitus, then I highly recommend them. Even after surgery for it, I still wear them along with orthotic inserts in almost all of my other non-vionic shoes and have zero issues now.
Absolutely worth it to me.
