Some models look really cute if you combine them with nice pants. They make a very uptight or snobbish outfit more relaxed and casual. I personally love them, because they are super comfortable and don't cause excessively sweaty feet.
Guess it really is up to what style you get, like I don't much care for them, but for 115 it would have to wow me more than more birkenstocks. I generally prefer sandals made of materials that can be hosed down, so leather ones aren't really for me.
