I love these shoes. It took me a while to warm up to them. At first my wife was skeptical. Said they looked like water shoes (and they are). Also, they are not very supportive like running shoes. But as a stylish alternative to flip flops, they're just the ticket. I wear them where I normally wear flip flops and in some places I would wear nicer shoes. They look really good with jeans etc. For the money I really think they are a great addition to the wardrobe.
