So I bought this pair of sandals at Ross in February. They were perfect. A friend of mine spotted them - I did not even believe that they could be comfortable, because I had been used to never finding pretty shoes for my feet. But they fit and felt beyond perfect. They are flip-flops with beads. They broke last month, after my having worn them non-stop for several months. They fit me even though they were 10M and I wear 11, usually.

I have a receipt from ROSS with a numeric identifier, but ROSS website support emailed me explaining that ROSS keeps minimal records and would not locate anything by the numbers printed on my receipt.

The sandals say: "BDF-002 10M all man made material made in china". Nothing pops up in search for this.

The underside is way too worn to read any letters it might have originally contained.

All I want is to find and buy several pairs of these sandals, since they were perfect, and I do not want to try new things - I want these sandals. Is it not possible? Do stores such as Marshall's, Ross, TJMAxx sell things that cannot be then found elsewhere because they are, basically, discards?

The answer is yes, they get stock overruns. Can you describe the shoe a little better? Googling ross flip flop I found a cute turquoise bead on bone sandal!

OK.

They are back, of fake leather.

There are three circles on the front: the bigger circle in the middle and the two smaller circles on the top and on the bottom. Inside each circle, there is a big black crystal-like bead. Around it are smaller round beads, and then, as radii in a circle, elongated tube (a narrow cylinder-lie) beads. Then, around the circumference of the circle is a round of beads. The beads are dark silver or dark gold.

That is it - complicated! I will try to take a picture tomorrow.

Hamster,

Not to interrupt your topic, but how did your Zappos order turn out?

A pair of discounted Birkenstocks seems to be working out well for me - I wore it all day long at work yesterday (the office is carpeted so there should be no marks) and so far so good! Thanks!

So I did not explain well enough: the circles are positioned on the strap that runs along the foot, and not across the foot.

Thanks .
