I'm sure if you live anywhere outside of America you can get better, but here it's a solid $30 deal. Pros: Fits fairly well Good looks Good stitching around the sole Real jute outsole Cons: Terrible logo which I had to struggle to remove (sorry Alexis Leroy but nobody wants your branding on the side of their foot) The stretchy V-shape is a bit short and wide. It would be better if it went down another 1/2 inch and was narrower at the top. Reliability - the rope does not seem to be sewn together. only glued to the rubber sole. So I don't know how they will hold up, I will update my review if it gets bad.
