DREAM PAIRS Womens Closed Toe Hiking Summer Outdoor Sport Athletic Sandals

These shoes are amazing. I bought them for a long trip, and they were so comfortable. The fit, color, durability, style all components were there. I would buy again. Read more

These sandals also provide excellent arch support while being a very comfortable fit for my medium width, size 8.5 feet. They have a nice sturdy weight to them. Their color is as depicted, a bright Fuchsia Purple. I’m thrilled with the convenient feature these sandals have of simply tightening their snugness around my feet with a draw string, instead of having to tie shoe laces. The draw string is also sturdy; it’s actually more appropriate to call it a draw cord. I like that it conveniently can be tucked away under itself so it doesn’t flop around everywhere while I’m jogging. The insole is textured, so I’m glad that on very hot days my feet won’t slip against it due to perspiration of the bottom of them. I hope you enjoy wearing these as much as I do. Read more

I’m partial to my keens but after replacing them for the bottoms separating after years of use I wanted a less expensive option. What I like about these- the zip cord to tighten them for water use (have not used in water yet), the back has a Velcro option to really customize the fit on your heel and they seem to have some cushion and are comfortable during my try on. The gray/pink combo is cute too although the look of the shoes are more functional than fashionable (also a wide sole bottom). My fifth toe seems to be visible between the straps but doesn’t stick out which would drive me crazy and I’d probably return, so far it just seems like it wiggles near the straps which is fine. They do seem cheaper made than the keens (rightfully so) and wondering if the sole will separate from the shoe bottom, but I don’t have my kayak anymore so these shoes are beach/vacation/water shoes only. Pretty sure any shoe will get destroyed with repeatedly getting wet and also in saltwater. Even if they last a couple seasons I think they are worth it. I’m at the point of my life where long walks on a rocky hot beach or stepping on stuff in the water is no longer exciting. Looking forward to trying them soon they feel like they will stay on in the ocean. Read more

Was looking for a comfortable pair of hiking sandals for short walks around the neighborhood or around a nearby park/lake. First I bought a pair of Keen's as they seem to be the gold standard for this type of shoe. After many attempts to adjust the bungee cords on the Keens for a better fit, they were still extremely stiff (made to last forever under extreme walking and weather conditions, I guess...) and my ankles ached after a short 1 mile walk. I continued my search and came across these Dream Pairs Outdoors Sandals. They were pretty - in a homely kind of way - and had great reviews. After today's arrival, I immediately took them out of the box and put them on. I made no adjustments and walked out the front door for a 1.5 mile walk. There was no stress anywhere and my feet were happy! To be honest, I'm not sure trying to tighten or loosen the bungee cord would really matter, as the loops they are thread through are sewn to the body of the shoe. The elastic of the body of the shoe is kinda fixed. When ordering I looked at the Size Chart and ordered a 9.5 based on their recommendation. I haven't worn a size 9.5 shoe in decades, I'm a true 10 or 10.5 (when available). But I trusted the chart and went for it. My foot is exactly 10.5 inches from toe to heel which in this particular shoe is a 9.5. Measure YOUR foot and order accordingly! The arch support is minimal, but I would live my life never wearing shoes if I could, so lacking arch support really doesn't bother me. The material the shoe is constructed with is fairly soft and did not rub or irritate my feet anywhere! Technically these are fisherman's sandals so they are waterproof. I will be hiking in the Seattle area next month so I won't have to worry about walking through small streams and getting my shoes wet! The foot bed extends noticeably beyond the shoe straps all around the shoe. Interesting design; it gives the shoe a larger footprint and better footing on uneven rocky surfaces. The sole is thick and sturdy, and comfortable against a bare foot on the inside. Fortunately for me, my pinky toes don't pop out the sides, they are supported and protected. Probably the only thing I don't care for is the velcro on the heel strap fits perfectly against itself with no over hang, so it takes an extra moment to separate the two halves for removal. Not a deal breaker by any means, especially for the reasonable price tag. I can buy 3 pairs of these in different colors for the price of one pair of Keens!! Walk Happy and Stay Healthy!! Read more

I have purchased Keen sandals similar to these for years. They are great for going in the kayak or to the beach and in the water. I thought I'd try these much less expensive sandals, and they are about as nice. In fact, they have an adjustable strap at the heel which my old Keen sandals do not. They are a little wider and the footbed extends a few mm ouside of the webbing which is different than the Keen sandals; this does not matter to me but might matter if you were doing some heavy duty hiking. I'd buy these again. Read more
