The beach seems pretty proletarian, but let's face it - some people surf better than others, and some sandals are better than others. Aim for the top with the Quiksilver Triton Sandals and get a super comfy compression molded EVA footbed with a durable woven nylon toe post. More comfort and durable for just a few bucks more? Why not let your acquisitive side get the better of you just this once - your feet will say "thanks" and no one will be the wiser . . .
