Rope Sandals - Comfort? Style?

[MysticAura]

What do you guys think about rope sandals? The tagline here is "best thing next to walking barefoot." Funny bc walking barefoot isn't always that comfortable.

Anyways, here are the two websites. They do look cool though and different in a good way.

Gurkee's are very comfortable but not made for heavy walking.

Strolling, I yammered metaphysics with Abramowitz,
a jaundice-yellow ("it's really tan")
and fly-weight pacifist,
so vegetarian,
he wore rope shoes and preferred fallen fruit.
