I purchased my first pair at a shop in the Honolulu airport when on vacation in Hawaii. I liked them so much that I decided to buy a 2nd pair from Amazon once I'm back home. I highly recommend these sandals if you are like me who love to be at the beach, near the water, and love to walk around. These sandals can be washed in water without getting damaged, and the material used in them makes walking super comfortable. I ended up purchasing another pair from Amazon again, so now I own 3.
