Not a fan. Some irritating woman was wearing them in the hairdressers the other day and I wasn't convinced.
 
Yeah i saw a few people wearing them too. Not convinced either ....they remind me of the jelly shoes i was forced into as a child!
 
Taken from the site...

1.) Really soft, super comfortable, molds to your feet
2.) Barely there, weighing only 6 ounces
3.) Vented so air passes through, keeping feet cool
4.) Non-marking slip-resistant soles*
5.) Bacteria and odor resistant
6.) Ultra-hip Italian styling
7.) Port holes allow water and sand to pass through
8.) Can be sterilized in water and bleach
9.) Easy maintenance, just wipe clean
10.) Orthotic molded foot bed for ultimate comfort and support

Must admit point 5 is appealing...
5.) Bacteria and odor resistant

My feet stink:roll:
 
I do quite like them.......but I think the rest of your clothes have got to be quite neutral to wear them, if I had a pair with all the colours going on with me I'd look like a bloody rainbow :lol:
 
I've got a pair wearing them now at work.

Picked them up while on holiday in Israel and they are really comfortable.
I've even been clubbing in them.
I would recommend them especially if you're not into wearing flip flops.

I bought a red pair get a few strange looks on the tube but most people are just curious.
 
The people that made them live in Boulder, CO. They are very rich people now. They were originally sold to hospital staff members (nurses and doctors) because they are bacteria resistant. They have really taken off in the states, and I am now wanting to have a pair. Weird how your perception changes on things after seeing them around for a while.
 
Comfy as they may be, never in a million years could I wear those shoes - they would make my legs look like little stumps :lol: :lol:
 
the flip flops versions looks cool man

I'm investing in a pair, should I go all black, or black with red inner?

Those are the ones I've got 8)

That's what I thought when I first saw them but after a while they really grow on you...
I haven't had one bad comment.

Your way ahead of the game mate, guarantee come August they'll be everywhere just don't think they'd suit me.

When I first saw them I didn't think they'd suit me but after trying them I gave them a go and haven't looked back.

I just wasn't really digging flip flops especially in London (grubby feet) and it's too hot for trainers or shoes so these are perfect.
