I have heard from friends that these are the most comfortable flip flops on the market and that they are good for walking.  I have repeatedly tried to wear them and I find them to be painfully uncomfortable to the point that even wearing them to run out to get the paper is unpleasant.  I believe that these shoes are made for people with arches, but I have very flat feet so it feels like something hard is pressing up against the bottom of my foot.

I am giving the shoe 2 stars rather than 1 because I have heard so many good things from others.
