These are super comfortable shoes. But let me say right off the bat the description is wrong. There is no leather on this shoe. That aside, they really do have an anatomical footbed, as it says. There is no so-called arch support. Arches do not need "propping up" in the middle. They only need firm support at the ball and heel. I had plantar fasciitis in 2016 and learned a lot about feet. Barefoot is best, anything else is a crutch that weakens your foot muscles. I bought these in Brindle last summer (2022) and walked many miles around Pittsburgh, right out of the box, no trouble whatsoever. And I am 60. I will say they are a little hot. That is weird given that they are a strappy sandal. However I do find them too hot on really hot days. Perhaps it's the synthetic fabric of the straps. I just bought them in Navy and I think they are sporty and cute. I have no trouble at all with the strap being tight but I have fairly skinny feet. There is some stretch to the strap and I imagine it would be fine unless your feet tend to swell. They have a grippy soft rubber sole but the profile is still flat as nature intended (no appreciable rise from toe to heel, maybe 1/4").
