If your looking for a sandal / flip-flop to last more than a summer look at other options. I love sandals and this is my third pair of Reefs, they are very, very comfortable and served their purpose for a summer of use. After 3 months of wearing them around the house, out on short treks and basically hanging out they worked great. Reef always has the cool surf styling too. I was just hoping this pair would last more than a year to wear around the house during the winter, not the case, the right and left heels are almost completely worn through. Great sandals short term but I'd shell out the extra 10 or 15 bucks for something you'll get more wear out of.
