As the wife I love the look of the sandals. 3 straps looks better than 2.  We have been looking for several years for a pair of mens sandals with a heel strap thst stretches so my husband can slip them on.  (He had an old pair of Nike that were stretch material)  Price was good.  Our 19 year liked them too so we ordered him a pair.  Neither one of them will wear flip flops and are very picky about their shoes.  (Can't look sissy)
