I have been wearing flip flops for the last 20 years of my life.  They've always had their limitations.  I can usually tolerate wearing them for the length of time that it takes me to get from my car to the pool/beach.  These are different!!  As soon as I tried them on, I was in heaven. I called my kids in to try them on.  They were all fighting over them!!  I took them out for a hardcore test drive tonight, when I went for a hour long walk with my neighbor.  I felt like I was walking on air.  They are so very comfortable.  The foot bed is so much thicker than any foam flip flop I have seen.  Additionally, the foam doesn't flatten after use, like some of the others I've tried!  This is a quality item, which is made with quality materials.
