Did my research. They were it. I wanted to do everything in them. There were big plans for paddle boarding, hiking, jogging, etc. They matched the ad description. Until one day I tried to put it on, put it on my back, the back/side strap broke. Now there's a dangling mess or just an uncomfortable (because I'm standing on a broken strap) slipper instead of great sandals. I wish there was a strip that could be glued to the strap to hold it in place. How else to repair injured skin? I only use around the house and town. I'm glad I didn't rely on them for my rapids adventures. Maybe mine were broken? I don't know. It's been over a month and I still can't return something like this
