I bought SEVEN pairs of flip flops at once (Amazon Prime has changed my life). These surprised me as the winner. First lemme say I'm looking for footwear for plantar fasciitis. These don't exactly have a good arch, and the footbed is a bit wide, but they still came out on top. The footbed is made of a type of rubber that will not flatten out like foam sandals. They feel very secure; like another review said, it makes you feel safe, stability wise. And last but definitely not least, the bottom is ridiculous. You could go rock climbing in these. These are BY FAR the #1 flip flop for "dude you can't wear flip flops, put on some shoes, we're going hiking, etc."
