probably best flip-flop type of footwear I've had.  More padding than others, and it's not too rigid but holds up pretty well.  Second time I ordered,as the first pair I wore a lot, including on trips to beaches, etc and they performed well for about a year.  But I often wore in the garden or even to go shopping.  Sizes seem slightly larger than average though...I normally wear a 10 in athletic footwear and the 9's fit me perfectly.
