I have a pair of Nike Sandals with Velcro that have lasted me about 5 years. When they came unglued (white to black sole) I popped rivets with Shoe Goo (rubber type glue) on them (I drilled holes smaller than the rivets into the sole horizontally (the rivet swells in the hole with the glue)) and they lasted another 2 years. They fell apart when I was in mud in the garden the other day so I cleaned them removed the old rivets and glue; I re-glued and re-riveted them again yesterday. I can walk in the bottom of the pool with them if I need to because the bottoms have slits in them for the water to pass through. If guys like tough sandals around the pool then these are a must (they are like fancy re- treads).

Laurel gave me some sort of similar saddles with Velcro fasteners but I don't think they were niki's, but they have lasted me years now, even while trekking thru mud they haven't fallen apart. I love them and still wear them everyday, winter and summer.
