This is my second pair of these they last for years and are very comfortable, well worth the money. I have had so many comments about them and have referred many people. I have also had the platted jandals and the plain jandals. I cannot fault any of the shoes they stand up to different climates (I used to live overseas for 20 years) . I have now moved back to NZ and I even made a special trip from Christchurch to Raglan to get some more. The staff were amazing.
