I've worn flip flops almost my whole life.  Various kinds, expensive and cheap.  I was super excited about getting my first pair of Mush flip flops.  Love the design, the flip flops are cute & comfortable.  But...when walking around in them, the heel part is not cushioned well.  After wearing them for an hour I could feel the bottom sole design on my heels when I walked.  Now I feel the design on the soles everytime I wear them.  And the lack of heel cushion makes for almost no shock absorbtion when walking.  If you're only going to be walking on sand, these will be fine.  But if you're walking on side walks and around stores, I don't recommend these.  Unfortunately these aren't made for normal daily use.
