adidas Originals Men's Adissage Sandal

CUSTOMER REVIEW



My wife ordered these things for me via Amazon. I needed such shoes specifically to wear to the pool at our local YMCA. She ordered a size 9; the usual size I wear in such foot wear.



I have to admit that when I first wore these things, (It was at the pool), I absolutely hated them. To be candid, they hurt! It was like walking on dull nails. I brought them home fully intending to throw them in the trash after I had come here to Amazon and written a review completely trashing the things.



Fortunately, when I came here to this site I started reading the other reviews and soon came to the conclusion that I needed to give the sandals another chance. Now keep in mind that I am not one of those people with baby soft soles on my feet. My preference in foot wear is no foot wear at all. I spend a great amount of time both indoors and out barefooted. The soles of my feet are quite hard. (Not like they were when I was a kid, but for an old man...not bad).



Anyway, I continued wearing these things and as other reviewers have pointed out my feet and the shoe adjusted themselves. My feet became less sensitive to the little nubs and the little nubs became softer and eventually more or less formed to my particular foot pattern. I now wear these things around the house and around the yard and indeed, in the garden. They now, after the foot and shoe break-in, are extremely comfortable. They are easy to slip on and off. They are attractive (as if that aspect of foot ware has ever been a big factor in what I wear), and they seem to be wearing quite well. I have had these sandals for over eight months now. There are a couple of things to note here:



First, these seem to run a bit small as to size. I could have used a size 10 rather than a size 9. Maybe that is just me.



Second, the nubs, the little nail like things you actually stand on, do wear out. After continual use I note that more and more of them are breaking off. This is not big deal...goodness knows I have already gotten my monies worth out of them, but it is something to consider before you buy.



Third, I noted this same shoe in local stores and the price here on Amazon is extremely competitive to what I would have had to pay here.



It is actually probably a blessing that my wife ordered these things for me rather than my purchasing them at a local store where I would have tried them on before purchasing. Had I done so, there is no way I would have bought them. I am also grateful that I read the other reviews before I trashed the things.
