Great at the beach, on the boat, at a campsite, in lieu of bedroom slippers, and if you have ever had plantar faciaitis or gout, they are the best things ever. I have the beach sandals and another sandal type pair (fit a little snugger and better for uneven surfaces) and they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn, far more comfortable than shoes costing 4 times as much. Durable, versatile, and practical.

I think all these people who are blowing them off because of the looks or because they are no longer in vogue are secretly slaves to fashion themselves, although they would never admit it.

I purchased my first pair to use for gardening clogs. They were easy to hose off when muddy. When I developed plantar facilitis I discovered how comfortable they were. But I thought they were too ugly to wear aside from gardening and taking out the trash.

I did order a pair of their flip flops to wear after I had toe surgery and they were very comfortable. People with PF are not supposed to wear flip flops but these were much more substantial than the cheap pairs you find at Walmart and at the time I couldn’t wear regular shoes.

I am going to check out the footwear catalogs and see if they are at clearance prices and pick up another pair or two.

I have a feeling that you will still be able to buy knockoffs.
