Within a year of purchase I was regularly changing my Ooofos because the straps snapped. These sandals are extremely comfortable but expensive and their durability was an issue for me. As a cheaper alternative, I went for these Kocota sandals. I find them almost as comfortable but about half the price of my Oofos. They look pretty solid in design and material. I'm not sure but I expect more durability from them. They are definitely worth the money and very comfortable.
