The material of this pair seems way sturdier than another pair of Sanuk slip-ons that I already have. Although the material is thick it's not "stuffy" when you wear them, perhaps because they become looser when you start wearing them often enough. The color of this pair of shoes is so versatile it almost goes with any outfit. More than anything, Sanuk's trademark light-weight makes it very comfortable even if you have to wear the shoes for long hours, especially if it involved being on your feet all that time.
