"This sandal is absolutely great! Its ergomorphic sole works as good if not better than the orthopedic sole my podiatrist made for me!

The only con I have about this waterproof, comfortable, and really awesome looking sandal is your feet get rather hot and stuffy, resulting in an iffy smelling pair of feet."

"Christmas 2007 'til now. I have a frayed posterior ibial tendon. With regular shoes and boots, I have to wear a new brace from Aircast. With these sandals, I do not need the brace. I've worn them every day, for up to ten hours a day.

I work in an open field, with remarketed cars."

"This is such a great sandal! I am a commuter and I use these running to and from buses and trains, I also use them walking the dog in mountains, and at the beach. I really needed a sandal which would provide some toe protection and traction in the mountains and something that would be comfortable walking stairs at work (rather than leave my heels on) and at the beach."

"This sandal is incredibly comfortable, stable, and even nice to jog in. It works like a dream in water and the way that it molds to your foot is ingenious. One caution though, I found the arch support to be almost totally non-existent. I can see a small curvature of the arch under the in-sole, but it's not enough to stop my foot from rolling inwards and ultimately becoming incredibly uncomfortable after long periods of wear at a time."

"They are so ugly that they have to be real functional and comfortable; and they are! Martin Keen has done it again. It's a great watersport shoe; completely hydrophobic and 4-way non-marking traction. MION is also a green company."
