These are probably the highest quality flip flops ive ever had. preveously i just had reefs. the leather is much thicker and seems like it will last longer. There is the neoprene like on their other sandals in the straps whinch is comfy. The sole rubber is thick and has nice wave tread pattern. The nly downside is at first the logo that is embossed on the leather feels wierd on your heel but it wore down after a while.
