I got this pair to replace an old pair of gray/black ones in the same style I purchased quite a few years ago. They are just so easy to wear and clean - I can play with my kids at the splash pad, take a trip to the farmer's market, or wear them on the beach and not worry about them getting wet or ruined. I wish they still made the gray/black colorway, as that pair seemed to go with everything. This time around I purchased the current black/black colorway first, but I could not get used to how dark they were - like I was wearing tires on my feet! Then I purchased the white (oyster/gold) and I love how light and summery they look, equally good with shorts, skirts and casual dresses (much better than flip-flops!). They will also be perfect for a trip to Hawaii later this year, too. Also, they are great for travel, incredibly lightweight, pack small and can even double as shower shoes. A must-have for the minimalist wardrobe.
