Ok, they're just thongs (flip flops) and pricey compared to a cheapo pair, but they are very durable and comfy. My only slight criticism is that the strap through the toes being flat rubs a tad on the toes. I sewed the two edges together at the top so that it's pinched into a round shape, as it is where it enters the sole, and that solves it. Also got Teva Katavi Slides and these (the thongs) actually stay on your foot, unlike the slides.
