	Mion Current Sandal TOO COOL!!!I purchased these shoes with several requirements in mind. First, they had to be cool and waterproof, since we're going on a cruise to Mexico; second, they had to be comfortable, since I'll be on my feet a lot; and third, they had to be supportive, since I've had several back and neck surgeries, and always have some degree of back pain and neck stiffness. Then, of course, I wanted shoes that were at least somewhat attractive. I got all of those things and more when I purchased these sandals. I began "breaking them in" (really more a habit than a necessity!) as soon as the thermometer hit the 40 degree mark in Anchorage, and I've received nothing but positive comments every time I wear them. I was in a local sports apparel/equipment store the other day, and a customer approached me, asking if I'd bought the shoes there. When I answered "no", she begged to know where I had purchased them, because she wanted a pair just like them. These shoes are a winner! These shoes do run large. I usually wear a 10-1/2 so I purchased a size 10 (they only came in full sizes) and the shoes are still a bit loose on me after I tightened them as much as I could. BySusanw
	Mion Current Sandal Great but be careful ordering - I am a sailor and have lived in the Mions for the last two months - no other shoes! I have bad feet; need toe protection for being on deck, and high non slip, non marking performance. The Mion's have met the test!They are comfortable! The "lacing system" takes time to learn but once done so is easy to use.They do come a full size larger than marked. I bought the wrong size (should have been a 9 for a 10) but have survived however sometimes (during strenuous activity) my big toe pops out of the front cover. Tight lacing resolves this.I usually must wear orthotics with my shoes but do not have to wear them with the Mions. Quite remarkable. ByAndy
	Mion Current Sandal COMFY...Strange...but COMFY - I ordered these with a bit of trepidation...the look of them is hard to get used to. I bought the "pearlized black" which are more purple then black, but other than that, I LOVE them!! I have had many comments on them, all of them, to my surprise, loved the look of the "weird sandals". One guy said they looked like "..purple aliens were trying to eat my feet...", but he thought they were cool! Anyways, as for comfort, they couldn't be more comfy!!! They have a super thick cushion, and the ergomorphic, or whatever, footbed felt good. It didn't conform to my foot as much as I thought it would from the description, but it did take the shape of my foot, and I feel very secure in the shoe. The adjustment system is awesome, they don't rub at all, and they didn't take that much time to fiddle with. I have Chacos (which are awesome too!), and it took me longer to fiddle with their straps than with these. Another great thing is how light they are. It doesn't feel like you have shoes on at all!! They are super light, super comfy, and super secure and supportive...amazing! I will buy another pair for sure! The only thing wrong with them is that they run BIG. I wear a 7 1/2 - 8, and since they come in whole sizes only, I bought the 7's and they fit a little (just a tiny bit really) big. so a full size smaller is probably perfect. I did have the problem of squeakiness that I read here in the reviews as well, but to a much lesser extent. It may sound strange, but they seem squeakier at home, then outside in the world. I wake up, put them on and don't take them off until I go to bed usually, and have been doing this since I got them a month ago. And in that time I have found that I notice the squeakiness at home, but don't really hear it when I'm out and about. It may be I'm oblivious, but I haven't had any comments on the sound, just they style. All in all, awesome sandal, dry or wet, and the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned, bar none! And Zappos, of course, is the BEST! I'd be willing to pay more, if I had to, just to buy from Zappos, but since they have awesome customer service and price matching, I don't have to! Thanks Zappos!!! ByAnonymous
	Mion Current Sandal Awesome - I am on my feet a bit walking throughout the work day and I was looking for a comfortable shoe to wear during the summer. I usually end up with a light sandal that falls apart by the end of the summer. These shoes are durable, comfortable, and look great. The first reaction everyone in the office asked me was "those are some funky shoes and they look comfortable… where do I get them?" After a week of wearing them, I have zero complaints and my feet don't kill me at the end of the day. The lace took me about 5 minutes to get used to, but once they were adjusted right, I don't think I'll have to touch it again.
	Mion Current Sandal Wow, awesome comfort!I live in these sandals and have four other pairs of Mion’s. The lacing is so innovative and functional. I hope they never stop making these cool shoes! Very sticky sole. I'd recommend ordering down a size. Good luck! ByAlexander
	Mion Current Sandal Very good for wet adventuring!The best I have tried by far. Takes some getting used to the lacing system but it is a very smart system. Good Luck! ByMack
	Mion Current Sandal Very comfortable - I purchased these as a pair of sandals to wear, so I can keep up with my young children. They were comfortable the minute I put them on. I worried because my feet are so wide, they still fit well. I look forward to summer chasing my kids from the lake, pool, and to park with the same pair of shoes. The appearance of these shoes are not for the self conscience. They are odd, but the comfort makes up for it.
	Mion Current Sandal Easy Fix for Shoe Squeak - These are AWESOME - THE most comfortable active shoe I've ever owned! Others mention the squeak - just pull out the innersole and rub the bottom of it with (dry) bar soap. That'll stop the squeak. May take 2 applications, but it cures it. In 5 months, I have hiked mountains, waded creeks, trekked through sand, and walked on city pavement and these shoes have been a dream. Now that it's cold, I'm wearing them with SmartWool socks for the winter. Just keep reaching for these every time I need an active shoe. Get comments all the time - people think their weirdly "cool"!! ByMary H
	Mion Current Sandal Tough to make perfect...but worth the effort - Once you pull the cord through the sole, you find the perfect fit. They really are comfortable but do need to be tuned.
	Mion Current Sandal These are some seriously bizarre looking sandals. They are very puffy and make your feet look like they are trapped in a marshmallow cage. That being said, they ARE very comfortable. They have a very cushy sole which is oddly supportive at the same time and the lacing system allows the "cage" to cradle the foot without any pressure points. The lacing is a bit tricky to get right initially. This shoe runs 1/2 to 1 full size large. I'm generally an 8.5-9. I got the 8 and they fit perfectly. Oh, and they are squeaky as others have mentioned in the reviews.
