I?ll actually just wear them around the house too, even when I?m not in costume. Theyll wear out at the same rate as the OTBT because youre not wearing the same pair day in and day out. I was looking for some shoes to wear too and from the beach and saw these on Amazon. I hot glued suede to the soles and dance in them 3-4 times a week. Bought them for my son as he was leaving for college. I have never said this before about a company but I would highly recommend Treblab and would also recommend the product. My cordless mouse works fine without a pad. The first time was certainly the real thing, I was very pleased but not so much the second time around. This sandal is so cushiony and comfy! Some improvements Id like to see in a V2 of this.
