I bought these to replace a pair of
Roxy Pagodas that ripped almost immediately. The Jordans are better for durability because they have the tougher material footbed, but lack the squishy comfort of the Pagodas. Also, the straps seem way to loose for long term wear. Kind of feels like you are slipping around in them. I would probably prefer to get the Pagodas again, but wouldn't risk the toe piece ripping out again. Overall, these are stylish and comfortable, I just wish the straps didn't feel so loose.
