I am on my third pair now. Got brown, then black, then another black.  I wear them to death and then get a new pair. They last a long time. Leather footbed doesn't smell. They ook like a flip flop but they seem to have arch support. They are great to run around in and make nice slippers if you keep them for indoors-only. Need two pairs! I will probably be getting another pair, especially if I see a good price.
