Good, With Caveats
I have been wearing bedrock sandals for 5 years, and wanted to try out Lems new similar sandal. I use bedrocks for everyday use, as well as hard long hikes, in rough terrain; and in the month I have owned the Switchback, I did the same.
First of all, they have been comfortable, and easy to get on and off. I cannot comment on lasting durability, but they seem well made. I was not particularly excited about the food bed texture, but I don't notice it while wearing them, and it does not bother me.
The things I don't like: I was very excited about the strap adjustment, the simple heel strap seemed like a great solution, and I do find it comfortable. The problem is that it does not stay put - over the course of a week of regular use the back strap will loosen, and your heel will be hanging off the back of the sandal. If you are doing moderate hiking (we hiked up a volcano in Sicily) the strap will loosen over the course of a few miles. This is a very different experience from the very similar bedrock sandals. Also, because of this loosening and changing strap position, the buckles stains the straps, so as they loosen, and then get tightened, the strap gets discolored over a half inch or so, making them look dirtier around the strap area.
I reached out to Lems and told them about my issues with the sandal, what I liked, and how the loosening was a real problem because of constant adjustment, I asked if they thought this was a problem with my particular pair, or something…

Re: Switchback sandal
Only disappointment is/was review i was reading about the new generation included a couple of xtra straps so you could change up the look...mine did not. Otherwise very comfortable though I'm not sure about using these on my local trails as they p/u quite a bit of whatever the trail surface is.

Perfect
Have never been able to wear flip flops. The switchbacks with the ankle straps and wide toe box are perfect. A little break in period is required. But I am very pleased
