Flip-flops can be fun, but, honestly, are they that comfortable?  I never thought so.  They are flat and I do not need that repetitious sound of my feet smacking against the bottom rubber sole--or ratan or whatever material--to announce I am about to make an entrance.  I have been pleased by the quality, comfort and durability of other Teva footwear I have purchased, but this simple Mandalyn Sandal takes the cake.  The fabric straps keep your foot secure and the wedge adds a "cushiony" feel as you walk or hike. Cross a stream with them & get them muddy--grab soap & water or a garden hose and they are new again. I have received many complements and was even asked by someone to try them on (I know, sounds kind of strange, but it was a relative--this person now owns their very "own" pair).  You can go casual or semi-casual with them--love the versatility!  Call me crazy, but I have just purchased another pair of the exact same ones from Amazon "just in case".
