I first bought a pair of Rafters Breeze flip flops because they advertise that they provide arch support.  I recently ripped something in the arches of both my feet, so my arches can cause me lots of foot pain if I don't wear shoes with arch support.  These flip flops have terrific arch support and now they are the only flip flops I can wear.  They have to be Rafters BREEZE flip flops (tropical or weave, it doesn't matter), though.  The other Rafters flip flops don't have the same arch support.  I now own them in blue, purple, black, gray... and I could go on and on.  They are SO comfortable!
