I use these shoes for water aerobics and I have to have good arch support and these have met my needs. They are very comfortable. I plan on ordering another pair when the time arises.

This is the only brand I've tried for water exercises.

Love these shoes. They look nice on my size 11 feet, with partial toe coverage. They run true to size, and adjust nicely. Also comfy, and don't flop around on my feet after walking for longer periods. I like a sporty looking shoe and it fits my life style. As always. Zappos rocks!

I bought these shoes because they look sporty and the reviews said they're very comfortable. I love the way these look on my feet! Finding as sporty sandal that I like and that make my legs look good (I have small ankles) has always been kind of hard but these are sandals are perfect. However, they're not as comfortable as I thought and the little v cut by the ankles rub into my ankles and hurt. I'm going to try putting a small round band-aid where the v cuts are and see if that helps. I also have to put the velcro straps very loose. All in all, they're really nice sandals and I would recommend them if you're looking for something sporty, inexpensive, and that make you're legs look good.

This seems like a good sandle. I bought these for my wife, I have owned several pair of Columbia sandles. We do a lot of boating and me & my wife realy like the way they feel and that they are waterproof.

Love these. I have been searching for a replacement for my old Merrell Via III water sandals that unfortunately have been discontinued. I have tried several possible replacements (thank you Zappos!) and this is the closest I have found. I normally take a 6.0 or 6.5 but the 7.0 in these Columbia sandals fit me fine. They are fairly supportive and very comfortable. I hope they are sturdy enough for a lot of city walking and some trail walking during the summer. They aren't too bad looking for a sandal of this nature but I am looking mainly for comfort. I think they will be fine with casual pants and with shorts.

I've had a similar pair of Columbia sandals and they lasted for 4 years. I bought these in the hope that they would be a good replacement. They are a bit a narrower, but the velcro allows for enough adjustment to accommodate this. But if you had very wide feet, I would pass on these. They are super comfortable and look good too. I love them and would definitely recommend them.

I love these shoes. They were comfortable from day one. The straps are a bit short but I would purchase them again, and probably will in a different color. They look good, feel good and seem to be of good quality. What more could you ask for in a sandal that is to be worn constantly! I love them.

I work out in the water daily, as I have neuropathy issues, plus lower back issues. These sandal have a loop at the back that fastens hooks I have on my walker, giving them air to dry overnite. These sandals are perfect for me. I have two pair, same model, color, etc.

I just got these shoes and I love them. They are true to size. I love the arch support and the fact that there is absolutely no "breaking them in!" Just put them on and go! Thanks.

I had never owned a pair of Columbia sandals. I was originally looking for another brand, but it was much more expensive. I find the Columbia sandals to be very comfortable and I like the way they look. They'll be great for the entire summer, whether we're at the beach or shopping. I have completely flat feet so arch support isn't something I need.

Looks nice on the foot and most importantly, comfortable! I am very hard to fit so am so glad these worked for me! Zappos is so easy to order from. Will only buy my shoes from them from now on. No shipping charges and great customer service! Thanks Zappos!

Put them right on and wore them all day. Oh so comfortable. This from someone who has had a serious broken ankle and wears shoes that baby it. Good support and cushioning.

I love Columbia shoes and these are no exception. They are only available in whole sizes, and my Columbia hiking shoes are a 6.5 and fit like a dream. I ordered the Techsun 3 in a size 7 after seeing another reviewer say the size 7 fit her. They were way too big on my feet. They fit my mother's size 7 foot so I gave them to her and have ordered a size 6. These feel sturdy, are super comfortable without bulky padding, and are a good looking shoe. The bottom of the sole is highly textured for excellent grip in both wet and dry conditions. I would definitely recommend these to others!

Boo hoo. I'm crying. I wanted these to be my summer do everything, wear when I'm lazy sandal, but...they didn't have enough strap to go over my arch. They could have been a lot more generous with the velcro! Otherwise, they felt so good. I bought a size 8 and I'm a larger person, 5'9 and where a size 14 pant. So if your larger like me, these probably won't work for you.

Just received these shoes and was super bummed...really like the look and they were very comfortable but the strap that goes on top of the foot was way to short.

I was excited to find these cute, functional, affordable outdoor sandals in my very large size (12). Unfortunately, the strap across the arch was too short and really pinched the top of my foot. I also didn't think the sole offered much support, and the plastic felt rather hard. Overall, these weren't even as comfortable as the $10 outdoor sandals I bought at the store a few years back. Returned and ordered the Teva I; really should have started with... sometimes you just have to pay a little more to get a quality shoe, right?

I ordered the above sandals. They are comfortable and the two tone colors are very attractive. I will order from Zappos as I am more than satisfied with the product.

I really like these sandals and wanted to make them work for me. They are very light weight and comfy. But the strap over the instep comes up too far and digs into the front of my ankle. Sorry to return them.

Perfect fit for my 10 year old active daughter. Cute shoes but not too girly. She likes the support and the athletic feel. So far so good.

Wore them on ziplines and underwater caves in Mexico; they worked perfectly. Wish I would've broke them in before I left though, they left pretty good blisters!

These are some great sandals! I bought them before a trip to the ocean so I could wear them to the beach, out shopping, or on the boardwalk. They seem very "sturdy" - the straps are secure and my feet don't slide around in them. I had another brand of sandals like these if they got wet, my feet would slide around in them - but not with these Columbias. Very happy with my purchase.

I needed sandals with a high arch and non-slip soles for walks. These are perfect; also comfy and easy to put on. They also look good, which was a surprise. I feel like buying several pairs in case they disappear. Beware of wearing Crocs outside. I slipped on our gravel driveway twice while wearing them; the last time, I fractured my ankle. The little tread on the soles wears away quickly.

Love the sandals. I have another pair of older Columbias and they are my favorite. Was so glad to find these at Zappos!
