Tech capri - The drawstring is a nightmare & I actually had to be cut out of these at the gym since the knot was SO tight it couldn't be loosened. Given the price I paid for these (bought 2), I would have thought this would not be an issue. Also, the color is more navy than 'obsidian'.

Fantastic, Sexy Comfort - Stretchy pants, I thought, were the bane of any woman with a shapely butt. These make me feel great, I don't jiggle nearly as much when I run with these, and they are my most comfortable running pants yet. I am going to buy a second pair in another color - these are fantastic. Not to mention the back pocket is brilliant.

Amazing capris - I cannot run in shorts so I purchased these for warm-weather running. They are fantastic. Plus, the back zipper pocket is large enough to fit a driver's license and your keys. I cannot wear these capris enough; I want to get 3 more pairs.

Nike Core Tech Capri - I bought these tights 2 weeks ago & they are the best running tights I have ever owned. I wear them on my long bike rides too. They have a great zippered pocket on the back of the pants that is awesome! I'm ordering a second pair soon.

I ordered 2 pair to wear for spin class. Look great and can bend over without show thru! Very comfortable. Like the mesh behind the knee.

Serious capris - Love these capris .They're definitely for the more serious athletes that want high performance and a cool understated look. I also love the lined lower back pocket that holds a cell phone comfortably and w/o getting wet from sweat.

Finally! Pants that were made for me! Technical clothing is a must for me, and it needs to have a soft hand, be durable, and is a plus if it looks and feels good! The Nike Fit lives up to its name, and Zappos comes through again with "instant gratification" by having it on my front doorstep the very next afternoon after ordering. Cheers!

These are very nice - smooth soft fabric, supportive but not too much so, and very flattering. The seams are placed in ways that are both comfortable and flattering. Nice.

Great running capris. The zipper pocket in the back is great for a key or credit cards.

I have been wearing Finn Comfort shoes exclusively for about 4 years and own three other pairs of Finn Comfort. This is my first pair of Sylt. I have pairs of Texel, Vassa, and Cannes. I'm really thrilled with the fit of the Sylt and the fact that there's no break-in period. The comfort and stylish look are excellent. It's wonderful that Finn Comfort has continued to expand their line of footwear to more styles and colors.

Fit great -- feel great. I've been wearing these to work everyday this summer. I work in a hospital and do a fair amount of walking at work. They have felt great. They have also held up well, and still look fine. I sprayed them with some suede protector and they are clean. Sole wear is minimal. I like them better than my Birkenstocks.

Most Comfortable Sandal Ever! This is my first pair of Finn shoes and now I know why the name 'comfort' is part of the title of this shoe. This sandal is fantastic! If you are looking for superior arch support along with a great look and total comfort, this is the shoe. For me, this shoe is like having a foot massage, whether walking, standing or sitting. I never feel like I have to take it off; my feet are totally supported, yet, they don't feel constricted or pinched. The leather is soft and envelopes your foot; it doesn't cut into your foot or toes like some sandals. I can only describe it like walking on a cloud. The arch support is awesome! You will not be disappointed if you are looking for comfort and superior support. Worth every bit of the price! I rate would rate this shoe a 10++.

Best. Sandals. Ever. Totally worth the price. They provide comfort and support superior to that of a "sport" sandal while not looking bulky. They go with just about anything from casual to dress up. The removable/replaceable insoles allow for extended wear and make them easy to keep clean. I had a pair a few years ago that my dog ate when she was a puppy. I like them so much, I don't mind buying them again (now that she's outgrown the shoe eating phase).

Finn Comfort Sylt - Wonderful, happy feet, comfortable sandals ever. Velcro sticks. Can walk for days, or put feet on floor and feel like a massage. Treat yourself--we are worth it! I am size 8 1/2, but 38 is the size that fits me best.

Happy Feet - This was my first time in dealing with Zappos, or for that matter, in ordering shoes on line. The entire experience proceeded without a flaw. Zappos' service and shoe quality made me a believer!

Comfort at its best! I just ordered two more pair of the Finn Comfort Sylt. My first pair is about two years old now, and I have never found anything more comfortable. I'm looking forward to getting more of the Finn Comfort shoes in the future. They are expensive, but well worth the money.

Finn Comfort Sylt - I bought my first pair of these sandals in Chicago. They were so comfortable I bought another pair through Zappos. They were cheaper than buying them from the store. They are a very expensive shoe so the savings was appreciated. Being made in Germany I know they will last a long time. Last summer I had foot surgery to correct a bunion and hammertoes. This is the only sandal I can wear for a long time and even take long walks in with out being in pain. Thank you for coming out with a sandal I love! I hope I will be able to find a shoe that is equally comfortable as I have a very wide foot after my surgery (2EE-4EE). Thank you, Zappos, for being my savior. I can't find wide shoes anywhere else. You are my best choice!

High quality sandal - These are handmade, resole able, and have a removable, washable insole. Best walking sandals I've ever owned. Also, the arch support is so good that I can do without my orthotics.
