These flip-flops flip and flop as expected. They sometimes make a flip-flop sound as they flip and flop but I think that is why they call them flip-flops. I totally recommend spending $6,750 for some Louis Vuitton Flip-Flops because they have a silencer. Totally worth it!!! These Flip-floppers are soooo loud you start smacking random strangers because you think it's your kids making all the noise. Those damn kids!!! Noise, bickering!!!!! fighting!!! BEAT THEM!!!  WHERE'S MY PILLS??? TAke the pills...!!!! Calm ... ok. ...  all good. yep. Nice shoes. Looks good with on Monks in robes.
