Adidas Women's Adissage Slides Sandals - Comfortable Slide-On Shoes for Women with Massage Bumps | Perfect for Pool, Beach, Gym, and Casual Wear

I've wanted these for such a long time now. I love slides but the cheap ones from the store only last a couple months. I actually had no idea these had velcro straps until I got them, and I don't know if this was the intended purpose, but having the strap connect right in the spot where my previous slides always rip and tear is actually a smart way to fix the issue... the velcro feels super strong, I don't think it will have any problem staying put.Now let's move on to what I really wanted to talk about: the comfort and support. If you wear slides without socks, this will probably hurt your feet. The material is very firm and doesn't have much squishiness to it, so wear socks to prevent discomfort. When I wear them with socks, the feeling is life changing... suddenly it feels good to get up and walk around, and I find myself with more motivation & energy to do work because my slides feel so good to wear. I have chronic pain and really poor circulation; this helped me so much more than I thought it would. I was upset that the only pair available in my size costs $20 more than the next size down, but honestly considering the impact it's had on my life in such a short amount of time I will say it was definitely worth it. Also, do yourself a favor and get a pair of really soft, plush slippers to switch to when you're done working around the house and want to just relax your feet.EDIT: after a few days, I have broken in the slides and there is almost no discomfort now when wearing them without socks. overall a great investment in footwear.
