I wear flip flops every chance I can get since I hate shoes. My flip flops wear out very quickly. Thus, I did a lot of searching and trying on sandals before I settled on these. I was told to get Rainbows, but honestly, these are much more comfortable and MUCH cheaper. They run really skinny, so you may want to get 1 size or 1/2 a size bigger than you normally do. However, the construction is great. The sole is all one piece, so you know it won't fall apart! They dry quickly after getting wet, too. I think this will be my new sandal to purchase every year!
