PlakaExplore Walking and Hiking Sandals for Women | Comfortable Summer Sandal with Arch Support | Waterproof Comfy Sandals for Travel, Beach or Poolside

Got these in a pinch a few days before leaving the country for two weeks for vacation after my expensive sandals that I had just bought broke! Not only are they super comfy and you can walk cobblestone streets in them. They’re super stylish dress up and dress down. Fit perfectly, but I had some struggles just slipping them on. You can definitely get an all day wear on them. They’re very well-made and have really great arch support.

Received this morning, wore them all day and just got home from a 2 mile walk. They feel great. They are lightweight and comfy. Fit true to size. Foot support and cushion are excellent. They are definitely coming to Europe with me.UPDATE: Just returned from a 2-week trip walking the cobblestone streets of Europe, wore them almost daily, and walked about 20K steps a day. They were perfect and so comfortable and still in great shape. I need to give them a little scrub, as we got caught in two rainstorms. Traction was perfect. I am buying another pair in another color.

Love these! I've been wearing them every day for the past week (prepping for vacation where we will be doing a lot of walking) - they're comfortable, secure (wore them in heavy rain and did not slip), durable, and look great! The sandal fits well - I ordered size 8 (I usually wear 7.5 or 8, depending on the shoe) and the straps are great with good support. Got Brazilian Sand color and it's the perfect neutral. I've already recommended to friends and will probably get another pair in black for versatility. These are good for casual or dressing up, in my opinion.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Pretty comfortable, fits the right size (a tiny bit smaller side but still a good fit), I have weird pinky toes so the straps on the pinky rub so I wrapped them in satin ribbon, but still very nice and durable! Love them!! And they hold up really nicely!

I love these, I went out the next morning when these arrived and went out looking at my plants. They are so light it makes it easy to move around and they seem very durable so far. They are so comfortable, the arch support is great for me. I have issues keeping sandals on my feet so the strap for the back is perfect. The look and color of them is awesome, matches with pretty much anything I wear.

These are great. I wasn't sure about which size to get- I am a 9, typically, but depending on shoe, it can differ. Sometimes I go 9.5, but that's either in running shoes or some dress shoes. The 8.5/9 fit me perfectly.As far as adjustability, the strap behind the heel is what is adjustable. It connects to the straps that cross over the top of the foot, on either side. You can slide the heel strap up or down (or forward or back, depending on how you look at it), and it makes for a more snug or loose fit. My guess about people saying the straps get loose over time, *may* have something to do with this feature being a little more mobile after some wear. But, it could also be that the braids tighten up, making the straps be just a tiny bit longer than at purchase. Either way, for now they are great and I think for the price point (these aren't Chacos, after all) the quality is good and even if they stretch a bit, I would be glad I bought them.They are incredibly light, and the support is good- it's firm, without being stiff in the sole, or hard on the bottom of the feet. It's also not annoyingly squishy, which can feel kinda gross to my feet, especially if the shoe gets wet. In fact, I suppose they're so comfortable that the only way I think about my feet is to stop to consider how good they are feeling from time to time.The bottom of the soles are not what I could consider "hiking" sandals. They have texture for sure, but it is more like a light but dense foam/ (plastic?) I will feel ok wearing these in drier, slightly rough terrain, but I personally would not feel comfortable relying on them on wet or potentially slippery hikes.. however I've seen some reviews here that say they use them for that and with no issues. I suppose if they prove themselves trustworthy, then after some time I might give them a go at wetter conditions.They are quiet shoes, with the exception of the light sound of my heel lifting off of the back of the sole. I don't know that that is avoidable, but the shoes themselves don't make a lot of noise on the ground- indoor or outdoor.Overall, I would definitely recommend them. I will be using them for travel - to have a utilitarian sandal that can also be dressed up. Then just around town in my regular life when I return. If anything significant comes up after using them for sometime, I will edit this post.

Comfortable durable lightweight and pretty cute especially for a water/hiking sandal. They’re holding up well so far and feel great walking on rocky dusty hills and in rocky mossy river water. They look nice enough to wear with a dress when I’m not hiking and swimming so I can wear them all day in a lot of varied situations. Their price is great as well. I’ll be buying another pair for backup so I have exactly this when these meet their end

Got these shoes for vacation where we might be doing a lot of walking around the island. I previously tried chacos as I’m an avid hiker but they absolutely killed my pinky side. I have a slight bunion and sadly my toes didn’t like them. I tried a Columbia sandal too but one foot didn’t like one of the top foot straps. I also tried the Teva olowahu flip flops but they felt really loose to the point of feeling cheap just because the fit. I wanted something secure that I could wear at camp with a tent or out and about. My feet actually are very comfortable, though they honestly feel a bit more secure with the ankle strap pulled up over my foot. I have a very low volume foot so that moveable strap is kind of loose (I can get 3 fingers under it when over my foot) so they’re not as secure as the chacos felt but not bad. Wouldn’t want to hike in them like you could with chacos but definitely fine for flats. The sole is pretty supportive without feeling hard like the chacos did but way more supportive than the olowahu’s. I’ll keep them but probably will end up packing more of my water shoes for backpacking. Wide feet might feel a bit awkward in these
