I have has Volcom flip flops that look like these and they were more of like a rubber material, these have a foam type bottom. They are comfortable though! The design is cute, I love the way the chevron stripes are. The seller sent me an email the following day of my order (Saturday) and said that my item had been shipped and to reply if I had any questions. That was very nice of them, although I didn't receive them for a week and a half. I think that might have been amazon because another thing I ordered got here super late.
