Overall they are of very good quality however they are very narrow the full length of the flip flops/slippers/sandals. And that's the only negative thing about them for me, because I've never had such a problem with other brands like Nike and Adidas. If you want them to be shiny, you can certainly put something on them. They have good arch support which is great as most other brands don't. To be honest everything about them is premium, much premium than what I've experienced from Nike, Adidas etc. The only thing that confuses me is the width.
