I am looking for brand names, > how they wear, how long they wear, etc. I absolutely *LOVE* my Chaco sandals. They're a little pricey (~$70), but they're worth it (and more!) to me. There are no buckles or velcro. It tightens or loosens by a buckle (slidelock? I don't know what it's called, but it's the same thing that's on shoulder straps on a backpack). The webbing straps run under the footbed and slide through, so it's all infinitely adjustable (great if you have weird feet). They have Vibram soles laminated to the rubber/foam/whatever footbed and can be resoled. They also come in different shapes/widths. Mine (the "Elan" model) is made for wider feet. I have feet that are nearly round: 9EEEE and a really high instep. These sandals fit me like a glove (err, a sock, I guess). Worth their weight in gold.
