I love to wear flip flops, but since beginning my career as a teacher, I've had to switch to "normal" shoes. I will say this is the only pair of flip flops I can wear without having major foot pain at the end of the day. They've held up well over a long period of time, and they come in a variety of colors (I personally own 3 different colors). They are my favorite pair of flip flops and I'm considering buying a spare pair of black ones in case they ever get worn out.
