So I basically live in flip-flops when I'm not at work. Generally I rock Flojos, which are a good name brand, good quality, fairly cheap ($20-25), and exceptionally comfortable (footbed is almost always made out of a memory foam-like foam rubber). So I get to Afghanistan, and everyone wears Crocs. I have a pair, and they're decent, but not flip-flops. So I start shopping around. The only ones I can find for weeks and weeks are the crappy "shower shoes" type for about a buck at all the PX's. I get to Kandahar and they have a store that sells pretty much nothing but Merrell and Keen shoes. I spy a slick looking pair of Merrell's. Try them on, they fit great, I ask the price. $75! I said the hell with it, I've worn Merrell boots and like them, so I'll splurge. Man, I'm never going back. These suckers are great... Just thought I'd let yall know.
