I'm going to point fingers at patches .... 
yes, I think so ... I dunno how much they costs though ....
I have never heard of that brand till my brother told me about
it ...
I don't suppose they are that expensive .... they look like
ordinary three dollar flip flops ...
The brand is very popular here. I have got a pair of its
sandals too. In Oz, it costs about $25 - $30 a pair....
depending on the colour (whether it's metallic etc)
