I bought these for a trip to the southern hemisphere in February. This meant that all the local stores weren't selling flip flops yet, so I had to go online. These came out of the box quite tight on my foot, but quickly stretched a bit and became very comfortable. I wore them for the entire trip and came back with an amazing sandal tan. They did well getting wet with both rain water and salt water from the ocean and still look good. I wish they were a little cheaper, but over all they're very comfortable and seem like they'll last quite a long time.
