As one who never cottoned to flip-flops before - my only exposure had been to el cheapo's - I have to say I'm surprisingly pleased with these sandals.  They're very comfortable, seem well made and are relatively attractive (as flip flops go).  For me, they're strictly slipper replacements around the house and I find myself looking for them preferentially to the slippers I used to wear (regular footwear having been outlawed inside the house by a recent promulgation from the better half).
