Can anyone recommend a set of flip flops that are durable and last a long time? I had another cheap pair break the other day, and I'm looking for something more durable.

Did you hear the Idiocracy anecdote? The costume designer had to find some shoes that absolutely nobody would ever wear and it was the early 2000s so there was this brand new show on the market, so she brought back boxes of Crocs and was like: here. Here is the ugliest, dumbest shoe I could find.

I actually want a pair of the og model, but haven't got them yet.

What i usually do is get a cheap pair of slippers, cut out the rubber thong, and use a length of Paracord to tie tarahumaru sandals. Cheap, comfortable as heeeeck, they look cool, and you can make and repair them yourselves. Life lasts on the durability of the sole you choose, I usually use softer soles so they conform to my feet better.
