So I reviewed comments on several products looking for some good looking and more importantly - comfortable and durable flip flops.  I purchased the Sperry Topsider Santa Cruz, the Teva Katavi, and the Columbia PFG Techsun Flip III Sandal (based on the reviews I read - these 3 seem to come up quite often).  I would rate the Sperry number 1, Teva number 2, and Columbia a fairly distant 3rd.  Comfort and fit go to the Sperry as well as looks - a bit more formal for a flip flop with the leather type straps.  Great traction and fit (I wear a size 9 but purchased the size 10 because I have a wide foot) and it looks great.  Good form fit to the foot and excellent cushion.  The Katavi is a pretty close second, but not quite as sharp looking as the Sperry.  I also got a size 10 and the cushion and especially the lining of the strap are good quality and comfortable.  The Katavi's have more aggressive soles as well.  The Columbia is not as nice looking, has a tapered toe at the top (which gives it a different looks), and I don't like the Columbia emblem on the strap.  Also, the top of the flip flop is "plasticky" and feels more like a beach type shoe that could get wet and dry off quicker then the others (as opposed to a day out shoe).  I also purchased a size 10, and the size 10 in the Columbia is considerably larger.  I'll come back later as time wears on to see which one breaks or wears quicker than the others - they're starting to get less use as the weather gets colder, so it may be awhile before I get to that review.
