Seeking a pair of flip flops for the summer of 2013, I'm tempted by these fangs. After 2 months walking in the sand on the asphalt and even rock, they are still in very good condition. Nothing to do with the deformed and torn pairs after a few days ... with honors for strength. I usually shoes of 48 (yes!). The fangs hew a little big, I am in the 48 but 47 would have sufficed. Side look, it's a bit "clumsy". Do not plan to do a fashion show! The comfort I have set two days to get used but then it is a true happiness. Honors!
