First pair lasted almost 2 years before the front toe strap broke. Okabashi, to their credit, immediately sent me a second pair free with no hassle. Second pair lasted a little over 2 years before the same strap broke. Otherwise, I found these comfortable but rather heavy. You get used to that. They often slid off my feet, like most flip flops do. Quite decent flip flops for the price, though. I replaced them with a pair of Spencos, with a molded footbed that's more comfortable and stays on my feet better. You might say 2 years is an okay lifetime, but I'd had enough.
