these zori are the real deal. they are nicely made, very strong. fits nice too. but know your size because when you order it online, it only sais extra large, large, medium, small and extra small. (what in the world does that mean?) my only concern is where you will be wearing these zori to. 4 stars

These are the perfect indoor shoe! With tabi socks they keep my feet warm all winter long, keeping my feet elevated above the cold floor, but allowing the foot to breathe. In summer, they keep my feet cool and the air circulating around them - including on the bottoms, which plastic zori don't.

I wear them in the house ALL of the time, seven days a week (I work at home) and out on the deck. They usually last about 4-5 months before one of the thongs pulls out, but I am rather rough on them. (When one breaks I will start saving the "good" one to match with the next pair that breaks a thong.)

I've bought four pairs over the past 14 months, and I won't wear anything else indoors. Worth every penny! 5 stars
