I work at night and if it's not cold outside I almost always wear a pair of adidas slides when I'm running around during the day.

I used to live in sandals out of necessity when I was in Vegas, mostly gave that up after I left. I have a pair of crocs brand sandals that are comfy and not as ugly as their shoes, but I hardly ever wear them in public anymore.

I used to wear Keen sandals, which are great: enough arch support, they protected my toes, they could be easily washed, and the soles are virtually indestructible and last for years. Unfortunately, they no longer fit properly, and I had to shift to another brand and another kind of sandal.

I will vouch for Keen's durability. Mine did get smelly. How did you wash them? Whatever I tried didnt work.

Re flip flops - my wife bought me a pair and they took a week to adapt to. With dogs to walk -it is the.quickest and easiest way out the door.

Go barefoot like a bohemian bro

Anyone else call them "slides". My wife and kids refer to the sandals with the single 3 inch strap as "slides" (UA, Nike, or Adidas). I have taken the very controversial stance to never still refer to them as "flip-flops".

No to flip flops. Slides are great and I have a pair of comfortable sandals with a back strap for when I'm going to be walking a lot.

My first pair of Keens, I found out later, was designed to be worn aboard ships: the rubber soles prevented slipping and the toe guard kept the toes from ramming into stuff.

With these, I just tossed them in the bathtub, washed them with very diluted and mild dish soap, and let them dry overnight. I don't know if that's what I was supposed to do, but it worked.

I can't say that I was as successful with the other Keens, since I couldn't wash them like that.

I love my slides, they're memory foam and feel great

Havaianas all the way.
