I own several pairs of the regular Sanuk yoga mat flip flops, and when I saw these that are a little more sleek and feminine looking I had to get them. As expected, they look more girly than the normal yoga mats. Unfortunately they're not nearly as comfortable. The footbed is still made from the squisky yoga mat material, but the sole itself is harder and not as thick, therefore not as cushioned. The thinner straps also mean they cut into my feet a litle bit more than the thicker straps of the originals, but I expected this. What I didn't expect was the the straps would be more stiff. The piece between the toes also hurts a little. I did decide to keep them and try to break them in. However, in the future, I'll stick to the original yoga mat flip flops.
