by my son and daughter if you ever buy and wear a pair of them I will disown you hahaha wouldn't of been seen dead in a pair anyways until last trip - I got heel spurs just before the trip I tried on a pair when in Bali, So i sent both my kids separate messages to their phones wondering who would reply first haha well my daughter did her reply was I would never disown you but you are not wearing them when with me. My sons reply was maybe i should get a pair for around the house(we have tiles right through) So i bought myself 3 pairs 1 for the house and 2 for around the yard. My husband said i won't be seen dead in a pair of those, well he has pinched a pair of mine and can't wait to return to buy many pairs haha. I got my son 1 pair which he wears around the yard - wishes I bought him a pair for inside the house, the other day he wore his to wollies hahaha
I still think they are the ugliest looking shoes, BUT they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn.
From memory the originals (look like copies) are around the same price as home. I think the going price for them is about 40,000 rp for a copy pair. The copies are so soft and spongy. They were excellent to wear in Bali especially with all the uneven paths etc, I even out walked my husband and could walk faster in them - I thought your feet would sweat heaps in them, but they don't.
