Kia ora chaps

I've been buying $10 Kmart sliders and they last around 4 months. Id like to buy some proper good jandals with good foot support.

Are there any brands you recommend?

Sketchers do a incredibly comfortable sculpted jandal. I've had mine for years. They're a bit steep at $80.

They're reasonably durable, I wore out my first pair over 5 years and I've broken my second pair when slipping while (foolishly) climbing up very rough terrain. That being said, they glue back together and that pair is still going strong at about 5 years too.

The name keeps changing, I think these are the closest to mine. Their 'go walk' are the women's name for the exact same thing and have more range.

Shit. Pricier than I expected! But mine amortized to about $15/year to far including the $2 tube of 'shoe glue' from the local dollar-shop for repairs.

Thanks so much for the detailed reply. I will look into that right now.

I dunno about good foot support(that sounds like you want sandals, not jandals...), but the pair of havaianas I bought 20 years ago are still going strong.
