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?

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

I have stuff from them that is 4 years old and worn every week with minimal wear.

I see other brands that I like but just haven’t had the need to buy anything new because the vuori stuff is holding up so well.
