I have a pair, and while they're an awesome concept, they fall short in one major area (for me): breathability.

I would try on a pair yourself before seriously considering them.
As for an alternative, can't really speak to the type of sandals you wear, but I've had good flip-flop experience with Reef's, and you might consider a lightweight athletic shoe (theyre mostly mesh on the top and give great circulation)

If you're going for sandals I love my pair of Tevas and Reef makes good ones too. I found the Tevas for under $20 on sale because they're an older style that's on clearance. (I think I payed $10.98?)
The biggest challenge I see with finding sandals is finding ones that will not break and are really comfortable for walking long distances. The Tevas have worked great for that.
