Just the thing, I needed to keep me comfortable around the house. do you let my feet get some airThe best 5 star flip flops ever.These have been my favorite flip flops for years! I have 5 pair right now!Love these sandals last about 6 months each pair. I wear them daily.They are not the same as Athens. The arch is high and straps hurt the sides of my feet. Never thought I would have flips that needed returning. HmmI like the product,it is my second time ordering and I love the color and comfort of the shoes. I recommend to get those shoes for people with legs problemWould of liked wider fitting.I bought these to tromp around my apartment complex with, laundry room, mailbox, taking out the trash, etc... and they serve the purpose quite well. I typically wear a 12 4E and I ordered the only size available (12) so they are a trifle snug, but still stretchy enough to fit well. I also have large long toes (I've been told I should forgo shoes and just wear the boxes instead) and often with flip flip style shoes my middle and 'ring' toes hang over the edge. Not so with these, as the base is generously proportioned keeping all of my flippers off the dirty floor.What I like about them:1. Easy to slip on/off, despite being a bit snug2. Seem very sturdy and non-slip, plus thick enough I don't feel the roaches and cigarette butts I stomp on in the trash room.3. Weird bumpy pads actually feel rather nice on the bottom of my feet.What I don't like:1. The between-the-toe-thingy is rather wide, which makes them uncomfortable for extended wear. But I could not be giving them enough break in time.2. They're Crocs, and apparently people my age only wear Crocs after getting a hip replacement.3. They are pretty snug, being what I assume is a 12 D, so if they get wet they rub my 12 4E feet on the sides and cause irritation. Solution - I don't get them wet.4/5 Stars - the between-the-toe-things drops this a whole star, as it limits length of time I can wear them.As others - and myself - have previously reported - the toe posts breaks off easily. It happened on my first pair - and after thinking this could be because of a bad batch/ bad luck etc. - the second pair just had the exact same issue. Please see the image provided.Avoid at all cost. You're throwing your money out of the window.I could not go beyond a star for these, and that is for the delivery itself.These sandals were different sizes, even though the number on the sole was the same. One was two sizes smaller.I followed the sizing guide and ordered Women’s size 7. I am a size 6.5.Even the larger one of the two was much too small…. I could not even get it on, length and width.It seemed more the equivalent of a U.K. size 5, or even a 4.My feet are a normal size and shape, not swollen or an odd shape. I have older Crocs which wereperfectly sized. Still in use but in need of replacing, and that is proving to be a problem.Absolutely no idea what's going on with the sizing with these for a start.I am a UK8 (and a woman) so bought m7/w8....these are barely a size UK 5?! Can't get them on my feet (see last photo to see a Uk8 trainer against these).Then onto the quality...I don't know if these have been heated up or squished up against something in the back of the van but they look like bananas! Completely bent. In addition, one shoe is a completely different shape in the foot bed. No idea on comfort as I can't get them onto my foot!Have ordered 2 more sizes up via try before you buy this time, as I still don't know what size to get...hopefully one will be right, but so much faffing about returning these and then whichever one/s don't fit from my next order. Desperately need something for my holiday in a few days time....disappointed to say the leastI love this product, I've just been on holiday for 10 days in Spain doing a lot of walking and literally these flip flops are the most hard wearing, reliable shoe I have. I came over with one pair of shoes and left with the same pair - they're easy to clean because of the rubbery texture, they're easy to walk in and very comfortable and look pretty decent too. Couldn't really ask for much more - they're reasonably priced and given I was doing 20000 steps a day in them and they have shown little wear and tear I couldn't be happier with the purchase.Ordered these to replace an existing pair that I have had for years but are wearing out. Am so shocked and disappointed by the quality of the new pair. The manufacture is obviously so much cheaper. The plastic is shinier, thinner and poorer quality and the shape isn't as well moulded to fit the foot. Have attached a photo showing the difference. Will return the new ones and continue to wear the old ones. So sad that Crocs are compromising quality like this.
