These are my favorite sandals - I wear them practically everywhere I go. The first pair I got alongside another brand of flip flop when I moved to a tropical climate for a year. I quickly found that these were the sandals I wanted to spend every day walking around in. After two years of heavy use, I wore them through and promptly bought another pair. Recently I accidentally lost one shoe (long story), and again have ordered a replacement because I just can't live without them! In the interim I have tried other sandals, but I find that they rub and are not as easy to walk in as these sandals. The Teva Olawahu molds to my feet, and the double straps provide support, so I can walk for miles in them. If you want flip flops that are superbly comfortable and look good for almost any occasion, these are your best bet!
