The footbed is very cushiony which I love. There is extremely good arch support which I also love. It also is totally adjustable so it fits my very wide feet. Here are the downsides: the sandal is VERY long. I usually wear a 10 but exchanged for a 9 which is still too long but I don't think an 8 would work (and this is the first size 9 I've fit into ever). In addition, where the edge of the footbed meets the outsole material, especially in the arch area, the material is very sharp and cut into my feet. I did file it down with a nail file and that seems to have taken care of the sharpness so I'm keeping them.

This is the weirdest shoe!! I am ALWAYS a 9 or 9.5. The 9.0 in this was strangely long in the toe area, the toe strap was too high on my toe but the foot bed was amazing, so I took a chance and got the size 8, which I NEVER wear, and BOOM! The perfect casual summer sandal for my vacation to the beach. Get a size lower than you normally wear~trust me. I'm a fussy foot girl, and it was a success.

Love the adjustment features, sizing is better than last year, HOWEVER the foot bed has a design or manufacturing failure leaving them unwearable! The edge of the rigid sole where it meets the actual soft foot bed raises up over it causing a pinch and/or uncomfortable ridge when you walk or if over pronate. So disappointing for customer when corners are cutwas the production trial or final design specifications overlooked before manufacturing?

First ordered the Merrell Bravada Backstrap in a size 8. Much too big even though normal sandal size, depending on the brand, is 7 1/2 or 8. Ordered it in a 7 and it fit well. There are a number of velcro straps to work with (3) to secure the sandal to your comfort zone. Am keeping these sandals.

Great sandal for all summer activities. Straps are totally adjustable, great support and light weight. Wore them straight out of the box without issue.

I love these sandals. I wear 8 1/2 or 9 so I ordered both sizes—8 fit well! Love that they are adjustable for each strap. The sole feels wonderful- great support for my weird feet. Comfortable for long periods of time and walking etc.
I bought black and may buy a second pair in a different color.

Sandals, not the greatest because they lack a good support arch. Okay for relaxing with friends, but not for walking.

I was looking for a sandal that didn’t have a strap over the middle of my foot and this sandal was perfect. It’s comfortable as most Merrill footwear is.

Love this shoe. Wore it all over India. My feet felt sooo much better than the last time I came. The strap on the back keeps them firmly on the foot, and that helps my feet a lot.

I loved my first pair so much that I bought a second. I do that with a lot of Merrell shoes! I wear these everywhere--around the house, to the grocery store, out to dinner. They fit in everywhere, and I'm always comfortable. :-)

Excellent walking sandals! I bought these before a trip to Mexico and let me tell you, I put them to the test and they exceeded my expectations. I wore these for traveling, walking all over Cancun, even walking on the beach. Kept my feet comfy and stable, with bad feet, just what I was wanting. Exactly what I needed, 10/10.

I live that these are cute but good for your feet. I also love how you can adjust both back and front straps. They are the whole package.

I bought these sandals because i had back surgery in May and then was going to Europe in July. I needed comfortable walking sandals. They are sooo incredibly comfortable and light and i can wear them with sporty casual outfits or with a dress or skirt. I had to sew the strap to shorten it because my ankle is small and the velcro on the top strap went over the velcro on the bottom part so it would close. But that was an easy fix, and i don't sew much, and i love these shoes.

These are my favorite sandals. They fit my feet on the bottom and I love the Velcro straps to adjust on the top. I bought two pair and they're my favorite everyday summer shoe.
