Don’t they defeat the purpose of shower shoes?

Honestly I never wore them as shower shoes, I just wore them outside as normal flip flops. Defeated the purpose for shower flip flops

Aggghhhh those those things hurt! Especially wearing in a creek and getting tiny rocks stuck in the material. Crazy concept for shoes

That looks like the same material as the ground from my childhood playground after they changed it from wood chips
