Full of sand within minutes, pinky toe felt way out of whack, etc. Worst $100 I ever spent, I'd say.

Yeah, I could see them sucking in the sand. I've never worn them on a beach. On a beach, I'd probably be barefoot. Otherwise, I love them, to me, most comfortable thing I've ever worn. The shape of your feet and what you're used to probably plays a big part of what you think about them. Most of the VFF that I have I purchased on clearance for 50-75% off. I have paid full price for a couple pairs. Most folks hate the bright colored models, and I don't care, so I can pick those up really cheaply.

I even had black leather and brown leather that I wore to work for a few years.
