I get my first pair a long time ago and I be not even sure where . I only use they in the summer so they last many more year than any other shoe -lrb- of course they good craftsmanship and quality help -rrb- , but the sole be just about flat . I be so happy when I decide to do a search and find they on Amazon . they be just as good quality and comfortable as the first one , but with sole . the sole give they great traction and a nice comfy feeling when you walk . I love these shoe ! I be tempt to order two . the size I order -lrb- same size as before -rrb- fit the first time so I do not have to try the return and reorder process , so everything be a snap for I .
