OK, I am thinking that it is pretty silly. I don't LOVE them, and while techincally I can 'afford' them, I still don't believe in buying things that are insanely overpriced. And my first instinct is that flip flops should never be 300 bucks, high end designer or not. But I figure if I heard from someone who swears that designer flip flop can be worth the price, I might adjust my thought. But, yeah, I am thinking I will pass!
