As some other reviewers have mentioned, these are very HEAVY for a flip flop. Please note, it's not an exaggeration when I say I've been wearing flip flops my entire life and have worn countless different pairs and these are by far the heaviest. Furthermore, they are nearly TWICE as heavy as any of the casual shoes I normally wear. That's right... full size, completely-surround-the-foot casual shoes. And no, the weight is not a guess, I actually put them on a digital scale! So, before buying, you should ask yourself if you're okay with wearing flip flops that are probably heavier than your full-size casual shoes.

Another point I want to make is that if you like flip flops with a soft, squishy footbed that really absorbs the impact of walking, these are definitely not for you. The footbed material in these is quite hard with very little give. Lastly, in case it might also be helpful to some buyers, I'll mention that although it does have better arch support than most flip flops, you should be aware that the arch only covers about one-third of your foot width. Therefore, if you like your arch support to extend to at least half your foot width or more, you might be disappointed.

Really wanted to like these and I would have given them a 3 star rating if there had been only one major problem. But, for me, the extreme weight and hard footbed material are major fails for a flip flop. And I still wouldn't have given them just 1 star, except I looked through every 1 star rating on here and, as of this writing, saw no reponse from the manufacturer on any of them. Whereas I appreciate the reponsiveness I've seen from other manufacturers on their products here on Amazon over the past several years. If you don't care enough about the problems customers are experiencing with your products to at least periodically read and respond to reviews on a major retailer website like this, then you deserve to receive an even lower rating.
