I will start off by saying I absolutely hate wearing shoes. I will wear flip flops as often as possible; that's not always possible when you live in a state that actually has 4 seasons. I have read other reviews on these shoes before I decided to give them a shot. One of the reasons I hate wearing shoes is because they are usually heavy and bulky, these shoes are very light weight and it's easy to forget you even have them on! I wear mine as everyday shoes. I love them. They are very flexible and they have great traction. I wish they were even cheaper, I would buy a pair in every color :)
