Sturdy and durable, thick and comfy, secure and adjustable! Limited grip, best for soft surfaces
For $63 this is a very expensive set of sandals and I'm not sure they're worth that price. They are, however, very good sandals, and if you need sandals to wear on soft surfaces these are a very solid choice.These sandals are quite durable, with sturdy reinforced stitching, strong straps that close via hook-and-loop fabric as well as a buckle on the main strap, and thick soles. They're also quite adjustable as a result of all those straps, easy to adjust to fit your feet securely. They fit as expected, and if you prefer looser or tighter shoes you can order a size up or down - or just adjust the straps! They're quite comfortable, with the straps adding to how well they fit and the thick soles giving you a lot of cushion on every step. The bottoms of the shoes and the soles themselves are almost entirely rubber foam, with a soft tread that works great in sand or soft soil, and indoors. They handle water well, and though the straps get wet they dry out pretty quickly. These are easy to great while you're at a beach, or while you're walking around on soil, grass, and similar soft surfaces; they're also perfect indoors! They have some small portions of hardened rubber foam on the outer edge (front and back) which you can see in the pictures, which give the shoes more durability. They're also very comfortable, with arch support and a curved design to help your foot sit properly in them.As for downsides, the rubber foam on these is quite compressible, and that goes for the bottoms as well. This makes the treads less durable, and it means these likely aren't a good choice for surfaces with concrete or a lot of rocks, because they're a bit too soft to hold up to a whole lot of rough surfaces. They aren't great at resisting slipping on smooth surfaces, especially if water or oil is a concern, so you should make sure to be careful if you plan on being anywhere with reduced surface traction.* I only review things that I personally use myself and keep using often.* I always give my full, honest, unbiased and unfiltered opinion on everything I review.* I will not hold back or avoid describing any issues I have with a product.* I write exactly what I think about things - the good, the bad, and everything in between.* If I get multiple of something it's because I regularly use and need both of them.* And, I will update my review if something breaks, stops working as intended, or otherwise doesn't hold up as expected.

Almost Perfect
These are good quality sandals. They're almost perfect. The adjustment options fit a wide range of sizes and once they're set right they seem like a dream while you're putting them on. Once you start walking however, you see the drawback. There's a plastic clip for the ankle adjustment that digs into your ankle on the outside. I really like these so I've spent awhile trying to come up with a solution. I found that wrapping a velcro strip around it eliminates the problem but then it looks odd. Is what it is I suppose, but they can't be my daily stompers unfortunately. I can't be too hard on them because other than the one spot that pokes you they are really comfortable and well made. Maybe I just have pointy ankles. Still worth a four star in my opinion.

Not the prettiest, but great traction where it matters
I’ll be honest—my wife thinks these look absolutely ridiculous. That said, even she admitted they look like they’d provide great traction, which is really the whole point.I’ve only used them a couple of times so far, but they’ve been very comfortable right out of the gate. The soles grip well on wet shores and rocky riverbeds, which is exactly what I wanted for floating down the river. They feel stable when walking in and out of the water, and the adjustable straps help dial in a secure fit.They also seem very durable and dry quickly after getting wet, which is a big plus for water-based activities. These are clearly built for function over fashion, and for river trips, shoreline walking, and similar outdoor use, they do the job extremely well.

Decent quality with plenty of cushion, limited grip design on bottom
These ONCAI hiking sandals seem to be of very nice quality. All the seams seem to be strong and the Velcro style fasteners hold strong.At first I wasn't a fan of how thick the sole was but when you factor in the arch support and how much cushion that sole provides the thickness no longer mattered and I appreciated the comfort.There isn't much in the way of grip on the bottom, mostly along the edges, and I could see that being a problem on uneven terrain so be aware of that.With the three points of closure fully adjusted these felt very snug and secure on my feet and I am not concerned that my foot would slide around if I walked through mud or water so that's a nice feeling.The overall style and color options, while a personal preference, are not the most attractive to me, but you may not mind or even like the look/style.The price of $63 at the time of this review seems fair but on the higher side... if you catch them on a sale they'd be an even better value.

Nice Sandals. Well Built and Comfortable
Very surprised at how well built these sandals are. I opened the box and the the feel was awesome. The soles are well cushioned and the straps are well made. You can definitely tell that these sandals were made for outdoors. The only issue could be the soles may not have much traction after they get worn some, but that is yet to be seen. I have included photos so you can see.The buckle on the top of the foot strap is made well and not going to break. It is a heavy duty one. The velcro holds well also. It has neoprene in all the right spots so the straps and shoes will not rub your foot, or ankles, and make blisters.I would definitely recommend this product.
