I was at EMS checking out shoes and sandals yesterday ran across these totally funky sandals. Its the same material as Crocs, but in a funky fashion.

When I tried them out, I enjoyed how most of your foot is left exposed so you avoid most of the sweaty-feet-in-rubber issues that you get with Crocs. They also looked damned cool too, especially the little part over the toes.

But once I started walking 20 feet in them, my feet got sweaty and the upper strap that holds it on started to slip and my foot slipped backwards in the shoe. I could see a lot blisters and shoe trouble coming from this as a result. So I put them back.

I do feel that the Mion brand is super cool, however. Check out all of their other amphibious footwear here: http://www.mionfootwear.com/products/index.jsp

Very cute! But that's good you were able to find out what sort of foot issues you'd have before you bought them. Some cool shoes I've bought over the years I wasn't able to find the problems until quite awhile after wearing them.

Oooh! I like them! Too bad about the blisters part though! What was the price range on them?

I'm sorry, I don't see what you ladies did.. I think they are horrible looking! Kinda goofy, really. I wouldn't wear them even if they were comfortable.. there's plenty of other comfortable cute shoes out there.
