These Katavis replaced the Elixers. I've used both and am very happy with them. My son and husband also wear them (these are the only flip flops we will wear). We wear them a lot since we usually live in places like FL and HI.

I have serious problems with aching tired feet if I don't have good arch support. My husband and son are both flat-footed. The husband has had heel spurs. We can all wear these all day long without our feet starting to hurt.

If you need a good, long-wearing flip flop with good arch support, give these a try. They are well worth the money.
