Well, I had to retire a pair of Rainbow sandals last weekend and it was a very difficult time for me. The old ones had given me well over 2.5 years of walking comfort but it was time to move on to a new set as a hole was about to break through the right one. So I am rocking a spankin' new set and am pretty stoked, after all, they are the Rolls Royce of sandals... YES! Fear not old rainbows, you will always have a special place in my heart and memory.
