2. Sperry’s

These flip-flops last forever. When purchased you receive a lifetime guarantee that they will not break. If they do, you receive another pair for free. The more miles the owner puts on these flip-flops, the more comfortable they get.
2. Reefs
Reefs are excellent to wear in the rain because of their water resistance. They are also great to wear at tailgates. Why? Two words: bottle opener.
