for winter that is. The rest of the year I run around pretty much exclusively in flip flops. Ben says I like these shoes because like flip flops they have no arch support, very little structure, and can barely be considered real shoes. I told him he was just jealous because his baby soft feet can’t live in anything except cushy sneakers. Either way, they keep my feet warm and mostly dry in the winter months here in Texas until I can once again wear my beloved flip flops.
