Good slides but size up!

I've had the Keen Aruba Slides for years and they are great. They were starting to fall apart so I needed another pair and saw these and decided to try them.

I've had them for about a month...here's my initial thoughts:
1) Size up! They run small. The Aruba size 12 fits me well, but for these I needed a size 13. Go large.
2) These have much better traction and sole protection than the Aruba's but the trade off is that these are noticeably heavier than the Aruba's. Pair of size 12 Aruba's weigh in at 20 oz. Pair of size 13 Ormond's jump to 35 oz. (true!).

Overall I like the Ormond's but next time I'm going back to the Aruba's for the lighter more casual feel.
