I really object to traditional post-between-the-toes flip-flops and  but love them as an alternative to house shoes. I had been looking for a slide that didn't have the ugly adjustable strap across the top and had not been able to find any to my liking. When I found these on Amazon, I was delighted. They were just what I was looking for: known brand, stylish and very rugged yet comfortable. I received them within days of my order and wear them most hours of the day since I work at home. Good buy, great product and quick, friendly service.
