I bought these shoes after looking for a flip-flop alternative.  Even though I have a pretty hefty shoe collection, these quickly became the only piece of footwear I wore.  Easiest to put on, and one of the most comfortable Slip-ons I have ever worn.  AS for my girlfriend, the shoes aren't really as much the problem as I just really don't wear socks in these. It's whatever, she knows she's number two to my Sanuks anyways.
