PlakaExplore Walking and Hiking Sandals for Women | Comfortable Summer Sandal with Arch Support | Waterproof Comfy Sandals for Travel, Beach or Poolside

I love them! Comfortable, flattering, and a perfect fit. The color is exactly as in the photos. I can walk miles in them and the sole is thick and durable. Easy to clean as waterproof.

Now that I’m retired, I live in flip-flops, but sometimes those don’t work so well, for example, if I’m dancing. I wanted some thing that would actually stay on my foot, But I also walk a lot and needed some thing with more support and comfort, but I wanted some thing that would look cute and go with my bohemian vibe when I wear maxi dresses, etc. These are perfect.I also found that I could wear them in and out of the water at the waterpark, the chlorine water didn’t seem to do any damage however, I was only in there once. I liked that I didn’t have to change shoes. I wore those shoes on the one and a half mile walk to the waterpark, all through the waterpark, in the water and home. This picture is taken after I got home.I typically wear 8 1/2, I purchased the 8 1/2–9, I would say these true to size.On my foot, the strap is a little loose, I had thought maybe a little too loose at first but they stay in place. I like that the strap is not rubbing on my feet. They are very comfortable.The design is pretty smart, it seems the straps move around and adjust to the shape of your foot I did try another pair of sandals from the same brand with a little different style, but chose to keep these because of the rugged comfortable sole. I like that these are waterproof and plan to wear them on my river hikes.

Wife purchased these sandals based on an influencer's testimonial/video. They are in fact, meeting the review given. The shoes are extremely lightweight, very comfortable, soft to walk in. The braided straps are perfectly positioned and thus far, have not caused any discomfort or rubbing of the toes. They are the perfect transition sandal that can be worn with casual outfits or with a cute dress.

I just got these at the beginning of April 2025, and the 8 fits perfectly. I wear a 7.5. So if you are an actual size 8, go up a next because these will be too small for you. They are easy to walk in so far, and I've walked 3.9 miles in them, and my feet are feeling good. I'm taking off one star because the sole itself is not made of durable material- it's light and somewhat spongy-ish. Since I usually buy one pair of walking sandals per summer- some brands allow me to get two summers in them- I believe these may only last until mid-September. I will update. The sandals I bought previously that lasted me two summers were twice the price. But these are cute and they feel great, so even if I have to buy another pair to get me through the end of summer, it won't be a big deal.

These are my second pair of sandals with this brand. They are so comfortable I can keep them on all day and my feet won’t hurt perfect for the warmer weather that’s coming. I love the fit and they’re in a nice neutral color. I can wear them with anything. The sole is a nice thickness.

So, my feet hate me. Seriously. I have plantar fasciitis that causes a lot of foot pain. However. I’m always on the hunt for the perfect sandal that can be worn with cute outfits AND be comfortable. There’s no other option for me. BUY THESE… your feet will sing like angels. I was on the fence for a long time… always browsing but ending up clicking away.Recently bit the bullet and bought some high end CHACOS and was so excited. Opened them up and tried them on and it was a NO. They were an expensive uncomfortable mess. These shoes are MUCH more cost efficient and absolutely a joy. If you like to travel GET THESE! they are incredibly light weight / lighter than air. It’s a modern marvel of science, truly.I want to live in these shoes. I’m living in them right now. The rope straps are adjustable… the cushioning and arch support is SO perfect that you get support for the tired feet without getting INCHES added to your height like some others (like hello, if I wanted a wedge I would get that instead). It’s so perfect im afraid I need to order 10more in all the colors just in case they sell out.I’m a 7.5 in most all shoes, I have wide and short feet with high arches. These were perfect.

I have to return these. I thought the bottoms would be made of a softer, more gripping rubber material. They are made of a hard plastic which despite having various tread-like designs/textures that look like they would grip well to various surfaces, they would not work as proper gripping tread on slippery river rocks, which is my intended use. Also, I have a not too narrow foot but definitely not a wide foot. I used to have narrow feet, now they are regular width I guess or ideal. Most size 8 shoes fit me perfectly. I wear an 8 almost always. I ordered the 8's in these which fit well for around town type use. I would say they are true to size. However, for wading in rivers on slippery rocks, I could tell the straps which wouldn't be a problem (nor the tread) for everyday use, beach wear, in and out of the ocean, water park, or anywhere with a fairly flat terrain, these would be perfect. They would be too loose and slide around on my feet in terrain where I need grip on my foot and on slippery surfaces where I go rockhounding. It may still work for someone with a wider foot, the straps would be tight enough but the material used for the tread would still be too smooth and hard plastic for rugged river use. Sad because they are very cute and if I needed a shoe for just beach wear, they would be perfect as they are. I probably will think of ordering them in the future in a lighter color for other purposes, perhaps, if I have a vacation somewhere with ocean activities. But for what I need right at this moment, I have to return and see if another brand will have something more suitable.
