Just thought I would mention, I bought a pair of those "modern gillies" sandals from Target a few months ago and have been wearing them constantly. For cheap shoes, they have been holding up very well. They must be discontinued everywhere because they are 75% off (originally $25, I think) here in PA also. Thought I would get another pair, but they are already pretty much cleared out.
Sorry, I just can't bring myself to wear socks with sandals.
