I bought a pair three years ago, and last year my friend asked to take them over. I missed them so much I bought a new pair. The yoga mat is a very cushioned step, especially compared to Old Navy or Reef flip flops. Whenever my back hurts from working a long day, I'll make sure to wear my Sanuks the next day so I know my back will be comforted. They last a long time as well without showing any signs of wear. I highly recommend these shoes. Plus the yoga mat Sanuk doesn't harbor smells like Reef sandals do.
