Felipe IV con el fin de persuadirlo de la importancia estratégica que cobra la isla de Puerto Rico como puerta a las posesiones del imperio español. Este atractivo de la isla queda evidenciado por los múltiples ataques de piratas y corsarios, pero en los ojos de don Francisco de Lugo y Dávila, Puerto Rico necesita mayor atención y mejores recursos, no solo para enfrentar al enemigo externo sino también para combatir contra otros enemigos internos tales como la corrupción, la apatía y la negligencia. El autor de la carta se convierte en este libro de Carmen Rita Rabell en un fascinante personaje digno de la ficción del Siglo de Oro español pues, entre otras peripecias, fue secuestrado por enemigos holandeses, y es desde ese cautiverio que accede a información valiosa tanto de futuros ataques como de la presencia de informantes infiltrados en las altas esferas de la administración insular. Pero, antes de llegar a su Discurso sobre la importancia y conservación de la plaza e isla de Puerto Rico por D. Francisco Dávila y Lugo que ha estado quince meses prisionero del enemigo holandés la investigadora nos relata su propia aventura en la interesante búsqueda del, al parecer escurridizo, don Francisco y además expone magistralmente la tradición clásica en la que se apoya su Discurso para manejar la “persuasión, sinceridad y prudencia” en materia tan delicada como la que presenta su carta al rey. Acompañe a Carmen Rita Rabell en su recorrido por la investigación y el análisis de un documento histórico que, sin haberse destacado nunca antes, revela mucho de la idiosincrasia de la colonia y nos provoca a preguntarnos cuánto de lo narrado y expuesto en estas líneas aún persiste en nuestra isla de Puerto Rico, a la que no se llevó el holandés.

So comfortable but only lasted 5 months…
Size: 9, Color: Sea Salt, Size: 9, Color: Sea Salt
I was hesitant to buy these without being able to try them on, but I’m so glad I did! They are incredibly comfortable. I am on my feet for a large portion of the day as a school principal and these feel amazing all day. They’re very adjustable so if you have feet that swell (or just fatter feet like me) these should be able to accommodate you. They are clunky but really cute! They’re also easy to clean. I’ve worn mine just about every day since I received them and can easily wipe them down with a wet paper towel to make them look new. They will occasionally trip you up if you’re not careful, the same way Ugg boots can do, but that hasn’t been a big problem for me. They’re very lightweight and versatile. Love them! Update: I probably just wore these too hard because today I was walking the school hallway and the shoe just snapped. One of the sides was completely unattached and within 30 minutes they were only on my foot by one strap. Super disappointed!! But I loved them enough that I ordered another pair to get me through until boot weather.

Great shoe, room for improvement
Size: 7, Color: Bison Brown
I wore these to a 2 day music festival and my feet were so comfortable dancing and walking all day. Got a little sore by the end of the night, but the only thing that would have been more comfortable would be athletic sneakers so that pretty good for such a cool looking sandal. Sizing is off tho. I am a 7-7.5, and I ordered a 7. Length wise theyre good, but maybe I have skinny feet because I had to strap the 3 Velcro straps as tight as they could go, especially the heel one. Maybe I would have been better going down a size because I want to have my feet feel super snug and secure in sandals, especially if I’m dancing. But overall great sandals and honestly I’d buy them again

Lovely sandals!
I highly recommend! These are so comfortable! Right out of the box, they can be worn all day. The velcro-adjustable straps are great for making for a perfect fit. The aren't clunky to wear, even though they appear to be. They're super cute, in my opinion. The sock liner is textile, so feet feel good all day, not slimy, like leather and suede can sometimes make feet feel if socks aren't worn.
