This is my second pair of this style of flip flops. I have plantar fasciitis and I wear these every single day around the house and my feet don't hurt at all. I've washed them in the washing machine and they've survived that even. My last pair lasted about 8 months before the toe separator broke. Even still I feel like I got my money's worth because I wear them constantly. I will say that the black pair run smaller than my previous pair that were leopard print. I will keep buying these because they make a huge difference in my foot pain.
