It's great to hear from someone like you, Clay, who really gets what we were going for with the Built By Freedom Flop Leather Sandals. That anticipation and excitement you had waiting for months, followed by the love you've shown them since they arrived, that's exactly the kind of response we put our focus on creating.

Your dog's "taste test" definitely wasn't part of our quality control process, but the fact that they're still getting you to and from the mats even after some battle scars shows the kind of durability we build into these sandals. There's something satisfying about gear that keeps performing even when life (and pets) throw curveballs at it.

The commitment to rock them until they fall off really hits home. When you find footwear that becomes part of your routine and keeps delivering, even with a few character marks, it makes a difference in your daily comfort and performance.

Thanks for the patience during the wait and for sticking with them through thick and thin!

Hi Christopher,

Thanks for the detailed feedback about the ORIGIN® BUILT BY FREEDOM™ FLOP LEATHER SANDAL and for sharing your experience with the fit and durability expectations! We're glad to hear that you appreciate the look, feel, and overall fit after the initial break-in period with the leather conditioner.

Your 3-year durability challenge really resonates with us. It's exactly the kind of long-term value comparison that shows why we focus on American-made leather construction versus cheaper alternatives.

Also, thanks for the helpful tip about using leather conditioner to assist with the strap stretching process during that first hour. That's great practical advice for other customers with wider feet who might be considering the sandals!

Thank you for your valuable input about the break-in process and durability expectations, alongside your positive feedback about the look and feel. Here's to crushing that 3-year challenge and proving that American-made leather craftsmanship delivers the long-term value you're looking for!

Thank you for your service and for choosing Origin! We're honored that the Origin® Built By Freedom™ Flop Leather Sandal is serving you well during your deployment.
