2 months of usage now: bought them for myself and my girlfriend as campshoes while hiking as theyre very minimal and light. We've done a 2 week through-hike in the alps, plus a month of using them in croatia walking 2h+ per day on them on a gravel trail to the beach here. Initially i was worried they might wear & tear quickly but nothing of the sorts - theyve held up incredibly well! Very minimal as i said but thats perfect for us. Very light and very sturdy. No delamination either which was my biggest concern. Also they form to your feet nicely without losing any inherent solidity. Layers havent come apart, no breaks/cracks anywhere, straps are solid aswell and showing no wear. Undersole doesnt seem to wear quickly, or at all, either. Even though like mentioned we walk gravel trails for ~2h everyday here on holiday. Well worth the price! I would recommend buying one size down from your actual shoe size(unless youve got very WIDE feet) because our own shoesizes i ordered initially, but those felt like a size too big and caused us to really have to grip the sandal for them not to slide off. So i returned them and ordered a size down and this turned out to be perfect for the both of us. (Im size 44.5 and am wearing these flipflops in size 43, she is size 38 and wearing them in size 37). The only fault is that her left flipflop is about 1cm shorter in length than her right flipflop is, which is weird. Aswell as my right flipflop which is half a cm shorter in length than my left lipflop is - this doesnt bother us in our wearing of them though. Beautiful product, ill buy another 1-2 pairs soon just for when my current pair wears out completely.
