Sorry for the boring random topic  I normally buy cheapie $10 jandals but this year decided to splash out and bought some $30 Roxy ones from a surf shop about a month ago (thinking they would last a couple of years). Today was stinking hot in Cambridge (29') and I was at a friends house. I took them off at the front door and stayed about 3 hours. When I went to put them back on, they had curled/shriveled up and are now about 2 sizes too small  So my question is - was it just my stupid bad luck to leave them in the scorching sun, or should "expensive" jandals last better than that??------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

I'd take them back and try to get a replacement pair. I've learnt my lesson before with jandals and the sun!
Sucky for you 
P.S - is that the shop that had the little jandals for toddlers in?? I'm trying to find some for Brenna and the shop at Chartwell doesn't have them this year... |

Yeah that one in Cambridge that we went to last year. They had heaps of the Havaiana's (sp?) about a month ago but haven't been in lately. My sis got some really cute Billabong jandals for my nephew and they were only $20 so cheaper. From Botany though I think. You could try the surf shop in town (Hams) ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

| I'd take them back. I have 2 pairs of jandals that I got in Raro and they have been left in the sun for days on end and have never done that or even faded |
