My husband and I bought these for my MIL and she loves them.  She wanted something to wear around the pool and also when getting a pedicure.  These are great for her because she cannot wear regular flip flops with no backstrap.  These have all the great properties of a flip flop, and stay securely on her feet!  She has two pair...the white floral and the black striped.  She wears them all the time.  It's a winner!
