I have been wearing Scott Sandals since the mid 80s when I purchased them in Hawaii. They last forever!  And, what I particularly like is the nice solid arch support they afford.  These are not your typical flat as a board chunk of rubber flip flops.  Even the straps are heavy and durable and can withstand the gnawing's of a pitbull puppy,  BAD DOG!  I have never had to throw out a worn pair, rather they get misplaced from summer to summer.  I noticed these latest ones are made in China, but the same great quality seems to be there.  And the price is lower on Amazon than me having my sister-in-law grab me a pair on Oahu.  Not to mention they get here a week faster!
