I got to try these on the other day and while they're a great looking pair of flip-flops, I just didn't find them as comfortable as either the Gasket or Split Smoke/Crater. It's probably not contoured right for my feet since they're always canted off to the side but others might end up loving them.
But again, they look great and look durable enough to take a regular beating. (Kinda like Tina Turner. Kidding.) And you have love anything called the "Leather Paddle." S&M fetishists, your sandals are here.
Great sandals. Very comfortable and durable. I want to get the black ones too.
