Nunn Bush

Rio Bravo 3-Strap River Sandal

Men's

The Sandal has a long strap running from the front to the ankle strap on the inside foot which hold my foot properly given my "drop foot" problem. The insole is made of soft foam keeping my foot securely in place and the foam prevents blisters on my toes caused by my "drop foot". The heal has a semi aggressive tread for good traction. I have purchased 3 of these in various colors.

True to size. Medium width fit my husbands Flintstone feet. Very well made and not clunky. Replacing his $120 Eccos and he likes these more!

My feet are normally wide anyway, plus I have problems with my feet swelling and shoes suddenly too small. These sandals, with adjustable straps, solve that problem beautifully.

I'm returning these for one problem even though there are several things to like. First, I'm a woman who wears a size 9 to 9.5, but with some active sandals, I get a better fit across the ball of my foot with a men's 7. The foot bed was comfortable and there were no irritating areas from the straps anywhere on my foot - comfortable right out of the box. The reason for return is the inside section of the heel tends to drop just a bit from the outer section and this puts an odd strain on my knees. If the heel area was level, I would certainly keep these. As far as looks, especially for a woman, they aren't anything special, but I was hoping to wear these for comfort around the house (PF means I have to wear shoes with decent arch support all the time) and very casual errands.

The material is excellent. My previous pair of Nunn Bush 3-strap sandals were purchased around 20 years ago, and are still in use. Just so you don't think they have an easy time of it, I uploaded a picture of part of my yard. These survivor sandals, still in quite presentable condition, are what motivated me to buy a second pair, this time in brown. The first pair is black. They are SO comfy! And they hang on to your feet over all terrain.
