Build quality is ok. It never got wet and I used it for less then 5 days. Plus – you have that tiny delay where you wait after you’ve tapped to see if you actually got it. Ive bought See Kai Run many times, and I love these yellow sandals. Still closed without feeling like i was going to break it, and high enough that the bindings on the board didnt touch the paint on the roof. I got these in 5 Youth and they are amazing! The toe thong on the right shoe is glued so the seam faces your foot. I have a variety of brands and try to use shoes for specific purposes after a trial period. I wear a size 13 and saw in the comments that these fit small so I ordered a 14. perfect for that warmer weather WFH situation.
