Damn

In 5 years I've never lost one. I ALWAYS tie the tails in a TIGHT square knot on top of the clipped buckles just in case the buckles break or open.

I think that what happened is a) the D ring at the side of the heel broke or b) the stitching holding the D ring let go.

I had spent the prior hour+ balanced on pointed rocks with my feet on each side, and this must have put a lot of pressure on the rings and heel strap. Who knows.

I came in from a chest deep rock, ran down the beach to help a buddy with a fish, and realized one sandal was gone when I slipped while admiring the bass. No doubt it is on the bottom between shore and the rock I had been on. I looked with my light, but the bubble weed was all I could see.

Hoping it will wash up or be found by some enterprising snorkler looking for a reward.
