[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wear my brown leather arizonas to the beach and pool and they're just fine.  They're really well broken in -- I've worn them for years and years.  I held onto them to use as my beach pair after getting a new pair but the beach really hasn't worn them down the way I thought they would -- they still look decent.  They get wet and they dry out, no big deal.  [/quote]

Same. I have a pair of Kumbas that are my beach/pool shoes now. I can only wear sandals with backstraps, which the Kumbas have, but the leather is so broken in and that I can slip them on and off without unbuckling them. I actually don't love them -- my newer pair are Tulum's and they are definitely cuter. But the Kumbas have held up so well with sand and water that I'm still wearing them after 4 years of heavy use.

Compare to a pair of Tevas I bought last summer to wear on vacation -- they were already starting to look worn down by the end of that trip. They were cheap (like $40) so I'm not mad about it, but the Birkenstocks are still a much better deal when you look at cost per use. I think I've still got 2 more years, at least, on the Kumbas. And that includes regular wear, multiple beach trips every year, and pool visits 3-4 days a week all summer. They are incredibly well-made, sturdy shoes.[/quote]
