These were recommended to me by my Hawaiian friend, and I think his advice was sound! There was a lot more to these flip-flops than I realized when I made the purchase. They come with a rubber sole like a sneaker might. They were a little tight at first, but once you wear them in, they are extremely comfortable. Because they have the real sole, they are a bit heavier (heavier than my running shoes, actually!), but you don't notice wearing them.

These flops are way more than you need for the occasional beach outing, but if summer = 24/7 flip-flops for you, I highly recommend these guys! I think they'll last forever.
