DREAM PAIRS Women's Sport Athletic Sandals - Lightweight Hiking Sandals for Outdoor Adventures, Walking, Travel & Beach | Non-Slip Comfortable Arch Support

Got these because my workplace involves heavy machinery and a lot of moving stuff around. Even if you don't operate the heavy machinery, you NEED closed toed shoes. Spent all day on my feet today unloading extremely heavy event crates and running the contents all over the site, ran over my foot with our cart a few times but no worse for wear thanks to these sandals! :)Glad other reviewers mentioned these tend to run wide, as I NEED wide shoes and was worried about buying online without being able to try them on. I got my normal 9.5 size and they fit perfectly! Any properly fitting shoe should not need "breaking in" and these didn't! My usual concerns with shoes are also in the heel area. Most women's sandals are too long for me, to the point that if I have my heel securely strapped in, my toes are barely in the shoebox/under the strap. These felt maybe a wee bit long, but had enough coverage for me to feel securely in the shoe. The thick cushioned heel worked like a dream. Often if a shoe isn't cushioned enough for me, at the end of a day spent walking around, my heels are in agony, but after today's adventures I'm not having any pain at all!They stayed on comfortably without feeling too tight all day, even while I was clambering into and back out of giant crates and train cars. Somehow I didn't even get any gravel in them while walking around the site, but that might've just been sheer dumb luck haha!I'm hoping the durability ends up being decent too, I'm not expecting them to last FOREVER with heavy use based on the price, but I'm very pleased with my first impression!
