These were ordered to be a "spare" pair of flops when the others were muddy, misplaced, etc. Instead these have turned into my 11 yo favorite pair. They are soft and super comfy he says. The color and design is good bc it can be worn with a swim suit and they aren't soaking wet but fit the look or can be worn with khaki type shorts and aren't all rubber looking. I am considering buying some for my husband.
