these flop be a little more money BUT worth be , my other half go thru 2\/3 cheap pair a season or they break apart , he be on the 2nd summer and still go strong ! when these wear out he will be get a third pair . I get 2 last year because I never think they would hold up I be wrong ! he say they be comfy and still feel good on he foot !!! thanks Rainbow !!! you will be he flop of choice from now on !!!
