I really , really love these sandal . be in Texas and work in advertising , I wear they almost every day . I be a bit reluctant to spend this much money on sandal , but my girlfriend show I she pair that she be have for about 6 year . my old flip-flop would break or wear out in a about 2 - 3 month . a quick word of warning : break they in slowly . I wear they on a epic , all-day shopping trip the first time and I get a sore on the top of my foot , where the strap be . it take a couple of week for the sandal to form to you foot . wear they too much in the beginning will just be painful . enjoy the best sandal that you 'll ever own .
