text: I keep buying these, they wear out in 6 months and then I think the next pair will be better.  They literally fall apart. And they smell.  My feet don't smell in any other shoes!  People give me looks... I'm a hygienic person, shower daily.  Yet somehow even after I wash them (yes, it's so bad a 38 year old male hand washes them) Yes they're 'fun' and stuff but they simply cause more problems than they solve...I won't be buying another pair, and will miss my whimsical feet shoe days and awkward feet shoe conversation starters randomly in public...
