Bought these for a trip to El Lay I was taking. The footbed conforms to your food and they are extremely comfortable. I personally had no issues with between the toe chaffing...the thong piece is very smooth. Seem true to size, although are wider than your foot. But, I look at them something like those mattresses that conform to the body, and I think the extra width is needed to accomplish this. I'm toying with getting a 2nd pair. They've become my go to flip flop and around the house shoe.
