After a year and a half of hard wear, I feel these faithful little
flip flops have earned a review. They have hiked me over jagged lava beaches, run me through thick marshy meadows (loose horses, it's a long story), and shlepped me from market to
yoga to the ranch and back countless times, and never once have they complained, given up, or made me uncomfortable along the way. These little guys are my 'go to' shoes for daily wear and active vacations, and I've paired them with everything from Lululemon athletic wear to casual JCrew
sundresses. Gingers have great
arch support and the slim straps manage to be both chafe free and somewhat feminine at the same time. Though I've worn the bottom tread almost completely off now, you'd never know by looking at them. After many besmudgings and consequent hosings off, the straps are as neat and clean as the day I bought them, and the footbed has nothing but a light imprint of my foot settled into it. No cracks, no snags, no punctures. If I were to have one complaint, it's that the souls of the Gingers not quite as thick and protective as the
sandals. But I bought these as a more feminine alternative to those, and they have exceeded my expectations in that function. I have other, fancier
Reefs for lunches and errands, but these are the pair I keep by the back door, and the ones I will buy again when my Gingers finally slip quietly off to a well earned
sandal heaven.
