Just because these are made for men doesn't mean the ladies can't enjoy them too. Lately its hard to find a solid, durable, and versatile sandal made for women. I've looked everywhere for a sandal with no sparkles, designs, or made in crazy colors that a girl can just throw on without having to worry about it matching your clothes! The few I have seen are made with about an inch of foam that only lasts a few months and can't handle heavy, strenuous usage while keeping your feet comfortable. The ones that do that are all toning/exercise sandals that cost $80.+; no, thanks. These sandals are probably the best I've ever owned. I went from 8 hours on my feet at work to dinner, a movie, then a long night on the beach with the ladies. I went through 2 wardrode changes but they all worked with the sandals and my feet didn't feel like they were run over by a truck in the morning! These are good quality sandals that are worth every penny and the fact they don't need replacing a couple times a year is an extra bonus. I've recommended them to everyone at work and most of my family, all genders, and most have bought a pair or are considering it. When I told the guys there is a bottle opener on them they found that an added bonus as well. I do too on occasion. :)
