    I found one brand that I really like and bought several of them. I have a pair at back door, front door, garage door, bedroom patio door ... none of them get overused which has worked out real well so far

    May I suggest you get more than one pair so you have extras that are also broke in.

    PS .. I have reading glasses in every book and cranny of the house as well. Seemed they were always in the other room when I needed them.

    Flip flops, and especially slides, are a sign of the loosening morals of the fabric of society. :shakesfist:

    Long ago, back when I wore Flip Flops, I did so very dearly hate blow outs.
    Pissed me off to the max. I hate breaking in--anything...
    Shoes, Flip Flops---new girlfriends,,, opps --sorry that kinda just slipped out.

    Has a lot more to do with my ankles and feet from all those years that I was indestructible I have about 5 pair, different styles. Naturally, the style that works for me they quit making

    If I left flip flops staged around the house they would end up wherever my oldest granddaughter decided to discard them; which, is NEVER where she got them. That applies to everything, not just my sandals. Ms Cool 13 wouldn't dream of being caught dead in my readers

    Need ankle support in anything I wear.

    Airborne Infantry, as well as skiing and mountain climbing in Alaska, and then the ROK-American ranger qualification week --- all did their share on my ankles and knees.

    What I miss most is the long walking. I can do the treadmill and stationary and recumbent bikes, but I miss the long walking.
