This is my first pair of slides and I really like them. They offer great support, aren't flimsy at all, and are light in weight. The part that covers the top of the foot is very comfortable and has a nice design, making them suitable for wearing outside the pool or the beach. They can simply be rinsed with water to remove sand and dust. Oh. If you're like me and don't want to hear excessive "slap" noises while wearing this style of shoe, they're for you. Yes, there is a noise, but it's a bit muffled compared to others I've seen and heard.
