Cute alternative to flip-flops. Color and style is so cute, other ladies would stop me to ask about them. Only complaint is the nubby "massaging" footbed---they felt like sharp little rocks in my shoes. Once I got used to them, or they wore down a bit, they weren't so bad. I bought them for vacation and used them as water shoes, for boating, walking, shopping--even went on a long cave tour with lots of damp steps. They clean up easily and I wear them all the time.
