There's are my 7th  or 8th pair of Sanuks and I love them. These are different from others as they are made of a rip stop nylon and not canvas. There is no threading like other Sanuks which I like. The only issue is that I wore them for several hours right out of the box and they chafed my toe. The other Sanuks I have had no break in period. I've always wanted a pair of pick pockets and the price was way sweet. I don't know what I will put in the pouch, but it's cool knowing it's there.
