Super comfortable and affordable
I bought these for a trip to Arches National Park and they were awesome! I've used them on nearly all my summer hikes so far and wear them every day.Pros:+Super comfortable. These became my go-to shoe for pretty much everything that's not a formal setting.+Adjustable straps, both over the toes, behind the ankle, and over the top of the foot.+Grips on the bottom of the shoes, which worked even on slick rocks while hiking to a waterfall+Worked great in water+The solid black color I bought is very nice and hasn't faded at all (in two months)+The shoes, Velcro and all, have held together very well for $30Cons:-The arch isn't super high, so if arch support is what you need, the support is minimal (I have low arches so this wasn't a problem for me)-The straps can loosen a bit over time. This might just be because I've been wearing them every day and using them in water frequently? In any case, I've had to slowly tighten them over time

More comfortable than Tevas!
I ordered these Tevas-look-alikes for an upcoming trip to SE Asia during rainy season. We're going to be traversing many miles a day, in both busy urban areas and jungles full of monkeys/elephants. I ordered both these shoes and the Teva Sanborn Universal (priced considerably higher) and tried both on, walking around my home and going about my evening making dinner, etc. These shoes were much more comfortable than I expected!!! The Tevas have a slightly higher/more elevated heel (probably thicker cushioning), but they also rubbed my ankles in a way that guaranteed I'd get blisters if I continued to wear them. These shoes did not rub anywhere and were more adjustable due to the back velcro across the heel (which the Tevas did not have - just thicker padding behind the heel). Overall, I think the footbed is thick enough to provide substantial cushioning for long days of walking and the straps are all 100% comfortable. I've since returned the Tevas and continued to wear these Gold Pigeon shoes to break them in before our travels, but its been almost unnecessary to break them in because they are 100% comfortable from the start!My husband also ordered Gold Pigeon shoes (the GP Simplus with magnetic closure) and reports the same - instantly comfortable, no break in period, have already withstood significant rainstorms/ activity and look new. Win-win!

Perfect for the water
I recently purchased the Gold Pigeon Shoes SIMPLUS Unisex Ultra-Cushion Yoga Mat Athlete Sandals, and I couldn't be happier with my choice! These sandals have exceeded all my expectations in terms of comfort, style, and functionality.The first thing I noticed was the ultra-cushion sole made from yoga mat material. It feels incredibly soft and supportive under my feet, making long walks and standing for extended periods much more comfortable. My feet no longer ache after a day out, which is a huge relief.The adjustable straps are another fantastic feature. They allow for a customizable fit, ensuring that the sandals stay securely on my feet without feeling too tight or too loose. This adjustability makes them perfect for both casual wear and more active pursuits.The unisex design is stylish and versatile, suitable for both men and women. I love the sleek look of these sandals, and they pair well with various outfits, from casual shorts to sporty attire.One of the best aspects is how lightweight and breathable they are. Even in hot weather, my feet stay cool and comfortable, thanks to the well-ventilated design.Overall, the Gold Pigeon Shoes SIMPLUS Unisex Ultra-Cushion Yoga Mat Athlete Sandals have become my go-to footwear for everyday activities and outdoor adventures. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a comfortable, stylish, and versatile pair of sandals. You won't be disappointed!

Perfect Fit
Hands down the most comfortable shoes I own. I wear these constantly—at the beach, on walks, sightseeing on vacation, running errands, teaching all day, etc. They go with every outfit. Love the traction on the bottom and the squishy footbed. They are adjustable enough to accommodate my wide toe box and narrow heel, and I have them worn in just right so now I can slip them on and off easily. They do get stinky after lots of wear, so I wash them with antibacterial soap. I wear an 8.5 and bought a size 39.

Great Teva knock-off. Will buy again!
I have been wearing these almost daily this summer and I'm really happy with them. I wear a 9 in most shoes but I ordered a 39 (normally I wear a 40) I just had to wear the toe strap a little loose at first. Over time the strap stretched out a little so I'm glad I went a size down.I chose these after looking into some Tevas, and I have to say I think I actually like them better than Tevas, especially for half the price. The sole is a little softer than Tevas and I think the bottom has better traction.I've worn these on light hikes and prefer them to my old Chacos. They have also been great and very comfy for kayaking and for walking around and wading on rocky beaches.They are getting a little worn around the toe, but I expect I will be able to wear them for at least another summer before they are totally trashed. For $25 that's good enough for me!

Comfortable Sandals, But Wide Size Beware
I found the Gold Pigeon Shoes Sandals to be quite comfortable overall, especially with the cushioned sole that feels soft and supportive. The adjustable straps are a nice feature for a more customized fit. However, the sandals are not ideal for my wider feet, such as 3E widths. Even with the adjustable straps, they felt a bit snug, which was disappointing. If you have standard-width feet, they might work perfectly, but for wider feet, they may not provide the comfort you'd expect.
