I like to wear flip flops, but I also walk a *lot* (often several miles a day), so the flat soles of most flip flops tend to result in aching arches. These, though, are great. Yesterday I walked about 6 miles on cement sidewalks while wearing these flip flops, and in the evening when I got home, my arches didn't complain even the tiniest bit.

I must admit that at first these gave me a significant blister on the inner side of my foot, beneath the strap, but most flip flops do give me a blister like that the first few times I wear them. (The only flip flops I've ever worn that *didn't* give me blisters at first were some "Pali Hawaii" ones, which I don't think are widely available. And they have flat soles, so they aren't much good for extensive walking like these ones are.) After my 6-mile walk yesterday, though, there was no sign of a blister anywhere on my feet, so clearly that was just a "wearing in" issue.

One note of caution: if my own experience is any indication, then the sizing on these runs a bit small. I usually wear a 5.5, but I ordered a 6, and it is still just a tiny bit more snug than would be my top preference.
