I love flip-flops, but hate the "slap...slap...slap" sound of the sandal heel flopping against my heel with every step I take.  These cute little sandals by Roxy cure the problem. I can stroll along beside the pool without sound effects!  And, I think the extra strap makes the sandals a bit safer as well. The only problem with these sandals is they are available in only a few sizes. If your feet are a size 10 and you are a short 10, you can wear the size 9's since a sandals can be a little short with impunity. However, I am pretty sure Roxy would sell a  lot more of these if they made them in every size!
