I have looked everywhere for flip flops that are stylish, comfortable and don't wrench my heel on my narrow, flat feet. At first I thought these wouldn't hold up but these are the best flip flops EVER! I am going on my 4th pair and will never buy any other type. I live in flip flops year round (in AZ) so I wear these all day, nearly every day. They are snug at first but stretch out a little and eventually wear down but I walk everywhere in them and my feet have NEVER hurt & neither have my heels. LOVE LOVE them. Clarks changes the look on the straps each year but the style and shape remain the same. They go great with shorts, jeans, skirts...everything! The heel is just high enough to dress up but low enough to dress down & be comfy. Normally I wear a size 6.5 but because these are snug, I can easily wear a 7 so I would suggest a 1/2 size larger than you normally wear. Also I have flat narrow feet and it's hard to find straps that don't gape above the top of my foot, but these are snug and stay on. If you have arches, you might need to go up a whole size instead of 1/2. Hope Clarks keep these around forever!
