For $55, I want to feel like I'm walking on air. This feels like walking on hard rubber with no give. I currently own a pair of Reefs that are THE most comfortable pair of flip-flops I've ever owned, with a layer of cushioning that first made me realize what a sandal can be. However, it appears Reef stopped making them within 2 years?? These were the closest I could find to it on all websites and they were no better than a $5 pair you'd find at Target. I sent them back.
