After my last pair of flip-flops fell apart after a couple of years, I wanted to get something nicer that would (hopefully) last a little longer.  I really wanted to try out some Olukai's, but was worried about spending over $100 on something I have never tried on...and on sandals!  This was a good compromise - sub-$70 Olukai's to try the brand out.  Not at all disappointed - very comfortable and fit perfectly!  I will probably spring for the pricier model next time around...
