not to mention cobblers!

i've been using these O'neil ones. I sail bout 3 days a week and they last just over a year before developing holes in the sides where they rub against the straps.

They have a slightly thicker sole than the other brands of the same style, a seperate big toe, comfy, but still give lots of feel. If you've never worn them before they feel strange for the first session but you quickly get used to them. The problem is once you start wearing them you can't go without as they make your feet stick into the straps and grip the deck really well. Great for tricks and stop feet coming out when looping etc.

About $55 from most surf shops
