I chose these slides because I've had them in the past. My first pair lasted me 12 years. We don't wear shoes in the house so I have them sitting at the door to the garage so when I go out there I can just slip them on when in the garage. I used to wear them out and about too so they were finally worn down to the point where there was little tread on the bottom and the part where the strap attaches to the sole. They are super comfortable and the strap is very adjustable with velcro. I would definitely recommend these to others. I also like the color, blue and grey go with lots of cloths and don't show much dirt. Hopefully these last another 12 years.
