While I am used to a thicker, more cushiony sole on crocs -  I purchased these because of the thin sole.  I thought they would be good for travel.  I am going on a cruise and wanted a flip flop that would be light to pack in a suitcase, but offered some comfort (better than the cheap  ones they sell at places).  I hit the jackpot.  These are light, cute enough to wear with clothes, but yet would be perfect for the beach.  If you are looking for these to travel with they are perfect (really light and not as bulky to pack as my others), but if you are looking for an everyday flip flop to walk around town for hours in  - I would not recommend these.
