I bought these last min after the strap broke on my other pair. I spent $20 on them and that was three seasons ago. I use them as my beaters. To the beach and in the water. Not a dent in the sole. They are as firm as the day i bought them. They are probably the most durable pair I have ever owned. I would buy again!!
  Word of advice. Only gripe. If you buy the black pair, wash them twice or you will get dye lines. They bleed pretty bad until you do. It won't even harden the suede. Thumbs up!!
