I have be wear these for year , I will not buy any other brand of sandal . either these or some other variation of Rainbow brand hemp sandal . the natural colorway get too dirty , and the black one do not look as nice . these brown hemp sandal look great , and be easy to clean . the biggest advantage of hemp to the leather Rainbow sandal , I think be way less \* smell \* after wear they for a long period of time . there be hardly any at all . I will keep buy these , wear they out -lrb- take forever -rrb- , and buy they again . until one of we , that be , the sandal or I - be not around anymore .
