      ONLY $39 FOR FLIP-FLOPS?! +gags+

      Do people really pay that much for cheap foam and a little strap? Disgusting!

      $275 for for shoes period? Are you all insane? That can buy you at least new outfits if you budget it right!

      Live within your means and not above it!

      totally agree - way too overpriced. I will stick with Payless and buy a couple new pairs a months instead of one pair of flip flops for the whole season!
