text: I've owned several pairs of these flip flops over the years.  Generally, I really like them, especially the thick sole, as I don't feel the road as much as foam flip flops, and they fit my narrow feet well.  That said, the past three pairs that I have owned, have all lost a portion of the tow strap within a few months.  I don't know whether I will purchase these again or not.  The first pair I owned lasted for almost two years of constant summer wear, but the last few pairs have not done so well at all.
