Apart from the cost

Are they "special" in some way other than that they have a name iyswim.

Wanting to flip flop most of the summer and wondering if the outlay now (which I know isn't huge, but its a lot more than £2 from tesco) would be a better plan.

Ah now the sizing confused me because they have European, USA and Brazillian sizing on them.

you can get them in brazil for 60 or 70p - my dh bought me few pairs about 4 years ago so i'm hoping he'll go back one day as i can't believe how much places like office charge - they do last well though

TK Maxx sold them last year for about £8.

I have a pair.

Carmenere bought them for me in Brazil.

When she produced them at my house, she also produced the most magnificent bottle of Brazillian red wine.

I thoroughly approve of her new career.

God though that wine was good though wasn't it? |I wonder how we could get our hands on more of it?

I have scoured the internet to no avail, away to Brazil with you.

Standby your e-mail, I am just about to send you a brilliant e-mail.

They're so comfy. I wear nothing else since I bought them (on my feet obviously )

I bought a pair last year and lived in them for the whole summer - they are so comfy. And the best thing is you can wash them in the washing machine (as I had too cos they are white).
