They are truly a wide sandal (soles). Sometimes a shoe is advertised as wide, but the soles are still a bit slim, these cover the botom of my whole foot. They are comfortable and fit better than expected. At first I was worried about my pinky toes, but after 1 or 2 wears, they stretched out fine and all is good. They are adjustable too. No signs of wear out or breakage on the straps yet and I've worn them almost daily since I purchased.
