I am not a huge fan of flip flops. I have never found them comfortable nor good for your feet. But... these flip flops are so amazing!! At eight months pregnant I couldn't find any shoes that didn't kill my feet by the end of the day. I mean, literally the bottoms of my feet were just killing me, and as my feet began to swell I had to switch to some kind of sandal. My husband has worn one pair of Reef's for almost three years now and swears by them. So I ordered these shoes and have been in love with them since I put them on. They don't feel like flip flops. They feel like regular walking shoes with a lot of give, but are open so as to accommodate for my swelling feet. I would recommend these shoes to anyone, pregnant or not. And, they have a bottle opener on the bottom of the shoe, which I'm looking forward to using soon :)
