I ordered these with a rug and cat bowls, and was initially put off, as they seemed cheap, especially compared to the quality of the rug/bowls. I was soooo wrong. The soles are a bit tougher than I was expecting, and just seemed cheap. But, I loved the design and gave them a go. For three months I have worn them daily. To the ocean, to national parks, to the beach, to work. I love them. They're comfortable and have held up well. Plus, the design is super cute. 10:10 would buy again.
