Rainbow Sandals
A few years back a friends introduced me to rainbow sandals. It was one of my first encounters with this brand. Sure, I heard about the stories of the sandals which lasted someone 5 years until they wore through them. It sounded to good to be true. One day I cruised by there factory to see if what others claimed was true. Let me tell you I am glad I did. I have been wearing them ever since and they are incredibly comfortable. They are also very durable – surf trips, traveling, regular stuff these sandals can handle it all.
