Customer Reviews Ocean Minded Southern Baja

These are durable, tough sandales but that is great if your feet are made of leather! I took these walking around a city park, and it did take long before the upper leather part was chafing my feet. Not long after that there were raw marks on my feet, maybe these sandals need more time to break in, but for the time being my feet are hurting.

Left sandal strap, right side, cut at an angle that immediately caused a blister. If you look closely at the right sandal, left strap, it is cut so the strap is not turned in. This is a defect.

I had a pair of these that I wore every day for about 3 years. They were great. I just bought another pair to replace them. Unfortunately, they are not the same. They are now a super light tan color and they have changed the soles and now have no cushioning. I've worn them for about three weeks now and they are completely blown out. My feet hurt after wearing them...I used to love ocean minded...definitely disappointed.

Incredibly stiff and uncomfortable sole material that doesn't give as you walk.

First day, I wore them for less than a mile walk, and the blisters were already bleeding on the inside of both of my feet. I soaked them in the ocean in hopes of breaking them in a bit, but no luck. I've tried giving them to others, but they feel the chafing after walking for 10 minutes and give them back. They look nice, but everything about them is stuff and unforgiving. Very disappointing.
