Simply the best flip ever. I am on my second pair and didn't even consider anything else. These are the only flip-flops I have owned for about 2 years now. My first pair lasted about 2 years, and were very durable. The air insoles mean they float, so no sinkage when you jump off cliffs and stuff. The soles are great, and I actually use them for light hiking on easy trails (namely to the hot springs) where I just want freedom and comfort. The soles never completely wore out on my first pair. The actual "thong" strap between the toes wore out first. Although they never broke, the material around them started to come off well into year 2 of almost daily usage. I call that acceptable wear and tear.
Better yet, I travel a ton, and never bring a bottle opener - except that my sandals have them built in, so I guess I do bring one with me. What better way to open a bottle of suds when on the trail, beach, or in a hotel room? Ingenious. Simply the best design concept for a sandal - ever. Not to mention it is a great way to meet people at parties. Simply take off the sandal, pop their top for them, and start the schmoozing....
These sandals are very comfy and for some reason, never get any of that foot smell that some other brands get. Who ever thought one could get so excited about Sandals. Reef should make me a spokesperson for them I love these so much.
