    I love rainbow flip flops - but since I hurt an ankle tendon they aggravate the injury. I do wear my five fingers and love them - but I really want a free toe solution Chaco may end up being the best - I just find myself wishing for a thinner sole now....

    Awesome! Thank you!! Those are all in the realm of what I was looking for. I'm sort of tempted by the Huaraches. They're pretty cool

    Out of all the ones I posted, the Huaraches are the only ones I actually own and I do like them. Their new pre-formed soles are nice and way more 'finished' looking than the first pair I have where I had to cut the soles myself.

    I agree about the homemade ones not looking as polished...I made some and they do look a little "odd". I still like them--it's always kind of cool to wear something you made yourself.

    Just saw a pair of Keen "whisper" in the most kingfisher (my totem bird) shade of turquoise...now deciding if it is REALLY LOVE and ordained from above to BUY them.
    My old Keens Venice H2O are from years ago (5+ can't even date them) when the exchange rate with the $US suddenly fell and it became economically realistic to import them.
    Love the brand and they are quite available now. Did have that sweat issue referred to but not unbearable and also means you can wear sandals for a month more at each end of the season...
    I get around the Chinese-made issue by buying at small locally owned shops - we live in a rural area so we've known all the shop-owners personally for many years -not perfect of course but minimizes the problem somehow I think

    All you need is love...la-dee-da-dee-da...all you need is love!
