I haven't bought a pair of flip flops in probably 25 years.  My memory was of them being uncomfortable and hard to walk in.  I got these so that I could have something to quickly slip on to run outside.  I found them to be comfortable and easy to wear.  Since the foot pad is leather, they don't stick to your feet and feel uncomfortable like the rubber counterparts.  I have even started wearing these for quick trips.  Good deal overall.
