Technically, these were a gift to someone else.  He likes the convenience of a quick slip-on, and likes that they are more stable and supportive than any of the verious "flip-flop" type slip-ons, but he doesn't like that he "can't" wear them with socks ((says the socks catch on all of the openings)), and that therefore, his feet sweat.

That being said, from *my* point of view:
the previous pair held up to a good bit of wear-and-tear.  And the covered toe keeps them from catching is things ((which is always *my* problem with flip-flops - the toes catch and I trip)).  The back-strap is optional, but there if one needs it.  They cushion well.  They also fit his EEEE-width feet.
