womens D'lites - Fresh Catch

I loved these so much that I now own 3 pair. I walk a lot during the day. These sandals made it so comfortable to walk. It’s like being in a sneaker without the tops on. These sandals have taken away any and all foot pain from being in my feet all day. They are light weight, cushioned and absorb weight and slick like a brand new sneaker. The colors work with every outfit. They look amazing on your feet. And they are adjustable so the size would be what you would normally wear in a sneaker size. I have had one pair for 3 years and they look just as good as they did when they were brand new. If you love your sneakers but want a sandal, these are the ones!!

I want to thank the other customer (Jennifer Beggs?) for posting her review of these shoes. Her review led me to buy them, & I am very happy! I too have suffered for years with trauma to my toenails from high-impact fitness activities in tennis shoes. I have taught fitness classes for almost 40 years & have also been a long-distance runner. My toenails started thickening & causing me extreme pain in my 30s; even the sheets on my bed touching my toes was unbearable. It wasn’t fungus, however, & was caused solely from shoe trauma. So I had to start wearing sandals for running. Unfortunately every time I found a pair that I liked, they discontinued them. To my knowledge, there are no longer any sandals currently on the market that are specifically for runners, but would love to know if I’m wrong- at least shoes that are affordable. Because of this, I’ve been purchasing sport sandals, which work relatively well. Most recently, I’ve been wearing Ecco sport sandals, which run about $100, but the soles are not really made for impact, so I wanted something more like a true running shoe. I always thought I’d have to pay $100+ for good sport sandals, until I got these Skechers. I wore them for the first time just yesterday, & was actually expecting to have trouble running in them based on the way the upper is made, with only 3 thin straps; however, I was pleasantly surprised. The shoes were very comfortable & caused me no discomfort for a full 90-minute run. The straps did not bind or cut into me like I thought they might do, & my feet did not slide around in the shoes; I felt quite stable. But the best part was the shock-absorption factor! These shoes really are like pillows on your feet; they propel you forward. I took several minutes off of my normal run time. And I felt no impact at all running on pavement or uneven surfaces. I also have arthritic hips & normally try to avoid running on hard surfaces, but it wasn’t an issue with these shoes. The day following my run, I had no discomfort. I could feel a slight pressure on my feet where the straps had been, & a slight tenderness under one big toe, but both were minimal & gone within an hour. Not bad for a first break-in with a shoe that likely wasn’t designed for running. It’s important to note that I did cinch the straps down very tight on my feet to minimize sliding, which didn’t occur. Once my feet imprint to the foam, I’ll loosen the straps a bit. It’s also noteworthy that I moved from the west coast to the east & am now battling humidity, so my feet get very sweaty. I thought that might be problematic & cause my feet to slide, but it didn’t happen. Overall, I was very pleasantly surprised by the functionality of this shoe in response to prolonged impact. I didn’t run fast though- I normally run a 14-15 mile pace- so not sure how the shoes would hold up under faster speeds. I do wish the upper was made more like a sleeve to fit over more of the forefoot, as opposed to thin straps, for strength & stability. I also wish it had more arch support. I wanted to write this review to let others who might have this same toenail condition know that you can use these sandals & other sports sandals for jogging and fitness-related activities. I’m quite pleased that these shoes are so affordable too. Time will tell how they hold up under prolonged running. Maybe I’ll post a future review. Hope this is helpful to someone! Day 2 Post-Run Update- Ok, so I did get a mild abrasion where the ankle strap dug into my skin, but it’s very minor. I hadn’t noticed it before. I think I’ll just loosen the straps a bit & maybe rotate with my other shoes until these are broken in more. All in all, I’m still satisfied.

My podiatrist recommended surgery on three separate toes and said the required dressing on each could be required for up to three months. Thus he suggested I find an open toed sandal to accommodate the extra bulk. These surgeries to be spaced a month apart and stared in June. My area is very rural with only one shoe store in the entire county, thus this wouldn't be an easy task. Thank goodness for this seller on Amazon! These sandals have Velcro adjusted straps not only on the ankle, but the two straps across the toe area, thus accommodating the changing size of my dressing and protective covering (socks in my case) plus keeping it secure on my foot. The soles are sturdy without being so high they become a balance issue - a dream for an old hippy chick in her mid 70's when my podiatrist saw them he was impressed and said he is going to recommend them to all his patients having similar issues as mine. To me that's the highest praise of all! Thank you to the company for coming up with and producing this design and to the seller and Amazon for offering it at an affordable price. Best sandals I've ever had! Oh and did I mention they are the most comfortable, too? I can't even tell I'm wearing them! Plus I got a grey color that goes with everything in my wardrobe. Be prepared for compliments as they are stylish and get noticed.

Very comfortable. Lightweight, great support. Adjustable width. Not very stylish. Not slippery.

Best candle I’ve ever purchased. First time I wore them was to an amusement park. Walked 11 miles over a 10 hour period. My feet felt great at the end of the day. I’ve also worn them hiking over rough terrain and with sun dresses. They are extremely versatile and so comfortable and cute. I wear an 8 wide and they fit perfectly.

First pair of white shoes and these are extremely comfortable not slippery and cushy.

These sandals are so cute! I love the white! They did not hurt my feet at all. Pure comfort! Highly recommend

Pros: once you get the straps adjusted perfectly, these bad boys are comfortable! I walk my dog between 35-40 miles a week and never got a blister, there was no “breaking in” period. The straps are comfortable and dry very quickly. I’ve walked through creeks with these, gone hiking in rough terrain, you name it! They’ve got the versatility of a hiking sandal, basically and comfy to boot. Cons: I would have loved for these to have lasted longer than a few months. Keep in mind I’ve put hundreds of miles on them since purchase, many more than I would guess most people would walk on average. The upper is in amazing shape, straps in good shape (though am I imagining things or did the straps lengthen a bit? They were a tad long to begin with to be honest, sticking out a bit past where the Velcro would hold them down to my ankle). The issue is the soles have worn down to where the tread is like...nonexistent. Sans tread, they still work hopping across wet rocks so I can’t complain too much, but they’ve... visibly flattened and not as cute as they used to be. I fear I’m not getting as much support with the literally grated down sole so I need to retire these now, sadly! Oh! I should mention: If you are hiking and you get a pebble in there, don’t try fishing it out, just unstrap and shake it out. Not worth the hassle. That said, you will get pebbles in your shoe. That’s definitely something to consider! Regardless, I like what Skechers has put out here, I just ordered another similar pair from them, will let you know how it goes with those!
