I love Sanuk flip flops, and I've bought a pair for myself and my husband that were starting to fall apart after a few years use. So, because I liked them, I bought the black and brown pair of these. They are comfortable, fit correctly, and I can wear them for hours without my feet hurting. However, these are starting to break down a lot around the big toe area with only a few months of wear. I hoped for the price that they would last longer. My brown Sanuks aren't showing any wear at all and were purchased at the same time.
