After looking at all these great shoes, I would love to find some help with something cheap and utilitarian.
I got these super cheap-o rubber sandals at Wal-Mart at least 10 years ago, and they are wonderful. They were so great that I even bought a second pair right away, before they disappeared. I mostly only wear them around the house, and have patched the soles with "Shoe-Goo" at least half a dozen times (the repair being stronger than the original material).
I have never been able to find anything like them again.
Why are they so great? The are very soft, they mould themselves exquisitely to conform to my feet, and they weigh nothing.
Seriously, I doubt that they weigh 2 ounces each.
They are so soft that they are not durable, so I rarely wear them on any abrasive surface, but they are heaven on the feet. They are even open enough that they don't cause me to sweat, often a problem.
Once every few years, Wal-Mart will offer rubber sandals briefly in the spring, but none of the recent ones have been any good at all. Other places have offered similar-shaped sandals, but they are always heavy and hot.
Has anybody seen anything like this, recently? Thanks!
