I was skeptical of the fabulous reviews I've read about Sanuk sandals, but they were so good I couldn't resist. I usually go through two or three $10 flipflops a summer, with the discomfort to go with them. These are absolutely the polar opposite; they are incredibly comfortable right out of the box, fit perfectly and look great. There's something about the part that touches the bottom of your foot that simply feels wonderful. Walking is easy, with no rub points. While they are a bit more expensive than the average flipflop, they are well worth every dime and I will be buying them again ... great product ...
