Since the reviews were old, I thought perhaps the shoe would have been modified based on the complaints. But no, this is not the case.

First off, the flip-flops are extremely comfortable with arch support. However, I've had them less than two weeks and the bottom has begun to fray as acknowledged in the reviews. Once the bottom frays, with the black coating literally stripping away, they because extremely slippery on certain types of flooring. An accident waiting to happen.

It's very disappointing that a shoe so comfortable would have been so poorly made.
