They're, well... not quite ugly if you get a decent non-obnoxious color (I got a very light grey). My off bike shoe of choice now, with no competition in sight. Three years ago they could be had for $5. Now they're $29. I'll keep my flip flops, sure, but they won't be touring with me.

I like your web site.
I saw a guy wearing these off the bike. They looked like just the thing. I tried to find some for my size 14 feet. I couldn't find any. Anyone? Anyone?
