I bought my first pair of this style of flip flops several years ago and wear them daily during the warm months. They are just beginning to wear and even though I just purchased a new pair, my old ones are still very usable and durable.
This is my 4th time buying these shoes. There are simply no other flip flops out there quite as comfortable. Sadly they don't sell these at any of my nearby shoe stores (even the Sketchers store in my local mall only carries one type of flip flop), so I have to order online. The rest of Sketchers' flip flop line is rather sad compared to these shoes. They really made something special with these. I'll be buying them until they're discontinued, which I pray won't be for a very very long time.
