I have been living in the same 2 pairs of Fit Flops I purchased at "Bath & Body Works" online, about 3 years ago for $39.99;  I thought it might be time for a new pair & tried these on in Lord & Taylor--on sale, for $59.99.  Of course I found them at amazon, on sale for $49.99--in addition was offered an amazon Visa w/$30 credit + $10 off, totaling a whopping $9.68 for these.  I love Fit Flops & wear 'em 'til the temperature is 45 degrees!  Now of course they make boots/booties and other closed shoes I shall have to try for colder weather.
