I had to retire my old pair of flip flops - too much sunshine and water made the fabric wear and the elastic over-stretch.  My son bought the espresso/khaki crocs for a gift for me so I had to get another pair because they are wonderful.  They are great when I am watering my flowers; it doesn't matter that they get wet.  They are very comfy.  I even wear them to work when I can wear casual clothes.
