4.5
I typically am a 5.5W. These run on the larger size. I love them too much not to take a chance on the 4W, the last in stock anywhere, as I knew they ran on the larger size. My previous pair I purchased 10 years ago and were a 5W. I'd typically revert to a 6 in shoe to make up for the width I need in a 5.5W. I remember trying the 6 on in the store and feeling the 5.5W was roomy enough.Great arch support. Firm yet soft. Nice base - unlike any other croc base. I wish they would make this style for other Crocs.I've been wearing my Crocs Malinda flats for two years and love them, and purchase the classic Crocs thong sandal last year for walking around the neighborhood.I thought I'd try these out since they sounded like they'd be comfortable and formed to my feet. They are dense!! Not the typical Crocs material. Because of that, they aren't nearly as flexible and therefore they make a lot of noise - they "clomp" rather than "flop". I worry that if I wear them too much, I'll damage the straps since there seems to be so much force needed to make them spring up while walking.I've only worn them around the apartment so far. I'm concerned about stairs - I worry I'll trip since they aren't flexible. I have hardwood floors and bet that I'm irritating my downstairs neighbors with the amount of noise they make when I walk.The one good thing about them is that they are nicely molded and do feel good when you're standing. So if you do a lot of standing but not as much walking, it could be a good fit. Or, if you've never experienced Crocs before and therefore don't know any better. Since they are much denser than ordinary Crocs, I imagine their soles & tread will last longer, but I haven't used them much since I prefer my older pair. Maybe if I'm just standing at the sink doing dishes...Update: 4 weeks later, I finally thought I'd give 'em a try walking to my local coffee shop, about 10 blocks. As soon as I got there I knew I'd be in for a long walk back. The straps rubbed so hard on the top of both feet - I have 1 1/2 inch red scabs. I'd expect that from a cheap thong sandal, not Crocs.Very disappointed that I spent money on these and wish I just had a new pair of their lighter sandals.First, let me say these are so comfortable. They are contoured so your foot is not flat on the ground like other flip flops. They are sturdy so if you trip the front of your flip flops don't bend back and you scrape your toes like I usually do. I can walk around for days in these with minimal discomfort. The only gripe I have is that they are contoured around the toes and if you have a loner second toe like I do it feels weird. I constantly have to pull my toes back from the tip of the shoes, lol. I have not had any of the thong problems but that might be because I have longer toes than most.I bought the ABF Flip Flop and the ABF Single Flip Flop. Due to the size descriptions of other reviewers, I bought a size 7. My tennis shoes and other Croc Flip Flops are all size 8. I have the Croc Athens, Crete, and Capri flip flops, however the size 8 in those flip flops are a little big on me. I bought the ABFs in a 7 and they fit perfect.The ABF Single was comfortable almost immediately. It feels a little odd when you first put it on, but after walking around in them a few minutes they feel great.The ABF flip flop is harder and less comfortable - at first. The longer I wear them the more comfortable they are getting.I had a pair of crocs like and they broke. They lasted for many years so I was pleased to be able to find the same style since I liked them so well.Looking through some other reviews, I'm glad I'm not having the fit problems other people are. These are really comfortable on the bottoms of my feet. The biggest issue for me is the HUGE piece of what may as well be PVC piping you have to shove your toes between to put these on. The material is completely inflexible and also unnecessarily large to fit between your toes. I can't really wear these as much as I'd like because of how uncomfortable the toe thong is. I think I'll stick to my Skechers from now on!Arrived quickly. They are just as described. Fit is perfect and they are very comfortable. I will be bringing them on vacation where I will be doing a lot of walking!! If you have never worn Crocs before, they do tend to be a little stiff. THey are not like other shoes you may have worn. But, they are form fitted to your foot with great arch support. They are comfortable for walking and standing for long periods. Glad I got them. Thanks!!I ordered these in spite of the reviews and I am regretting it. I have the longer second toe and these will definitely not fit people like me. The concept was neat with the shape and the balls on the soles, but these shoes were made for someone else's feet. I got the Croc Band flip flops, too, and those were much better on my feet and I am keeping those for sure!So, in sum, if you have the seond toe that is longer, move on. If you do not, these might be great.Fit ok started to rub after some useproduct returned did not fitTutto perfetto, compresa la spedizione che, prevista in circa 10 giorni è arrivata dopo 2. Se proprio devo essere sincero però non ho capito perché le spese di spedizione esulavano dal cumulo degli oggetti acquistati (che sommate avrebbero dovuto essere gratuite)Este producto no cumple con lo anunciado, se pide una talla y mandan lo que tiene, en el anuncio pone talla 35 y mandan la 34,ME ENVIARON UN ARTICULO UNA TALLA MAS PEQUEÑA DE LA QUE YO PEDI. LAS SANDALIAS ME ENCANTAN PORQUE YA LAS HE UTILIZADO Y SON MUY COMODAS
