I go through a lot of shoes.  I seem to wear out a pair of sandals every year.  The most recent pair of victims are these birkenstocks which I've been very happy with.  I wanted comfortable sandals which would hopefully hold up reasonably well and which would not fall off my feet.  These are fairly easy to put on and take off without having to futz with the buckles, yet I don't have to worry about them falling off while driving and causing a catastrophe.

They made it through their first year with minimal signs of wear, so I think it's a good buy.
