I’ve had my croc flip flops for about 2 years, but I don’t wear them every day. I like to wear them if I’m going to walk a lot because they’re super comfortable. I’d definitely buy another pair if I needed to.

I have a pair of rainbow flip flops that I’ve worn every summer(and occasionally the winter) since 2006.

I thought this year was probably a good time to retire them and bought a new pair. The new pair split after spending two weeks in Belize :I

Fwiw, I've had two pairs of rainbows and both held up extremely well. Longer than my Reef's by a long margin. I destroyed the first pair of rainbows after 4 yrs of basically all day, daily use through college, but the second pair is probably 8 years old and going very strong.

Because they make them in China now. They are a local company and we buy them about every 3 years. Now the show room smells so bad we don’t buy them anymore. The quality is gone.

Yeah I will say I bought the first pair at the factory store in San Clemente and the second pair I bought online.

It’s not their fault really. California limits the amount of glue they can use to create them. So instead we outsource china use the same glue, then ship them back on a ship that creates more green house gasses than all americas vehicles combined.

But you know, the environment, am I right?

They must cut them and assemble part in China? They just aren’t the same. I’ve been wearing them since the ‘70’s when they were rainbow colored. My kids loved going to the San Clemente store. ♥️
