Watch out where you wear these shoes. They slide on many surfaces. Also, they're kind of impractical for walking outside -- once they're wet, they're wet for a long time, and even though they are washable, sand won't come out of them. Also, if you have any problems with your feet, you will feel the impact when you walk, almost like being barefoot.<br /><br />Other than that, they're very attractive, and if you like walking barefoot, they're the next best thing.
