Wow! Purchased these based on the reviews here and they certainly live up to the hype. Im one of those women who dreads flip flop season because any sandals that I have worn in the past become uncomfortable after an hour of wearing them - whether its the flimsy padding or the plastic part that goes between your toes. The soles on these are padded - I just got these but after trying them on, I actually forgot to take them off and wore them all day inside while I was cleaning. Secondly, the part that goes between the toes (is there an actual name for that?!) is cloth material and is reinforced with additional cloth material (its soft and almost feels like silk) that makes these feel indestructible. So glad I found these - definitely get them!
