I hate wearing flip flops for long (or even short) periods of walking. My brother had bought Keens for his entire family to wear on a trip to Europe and they really enjoyed them. Instead of going straight to the expensive Keens, I decided to try the Attika ones out instead, since they looked almost identical. I am so glad I did since they were more than half the price and feel great. I liked the first pair of Attikas I purchased so much that I bought a second set. FYI: I would personally recommend the version of the sandal with the adjustable strap near the back of the heel since it’s more likely that they will fit properly.
