I bought my first pair when Pregnant with My twins and my foot size grew or should I say Swelled up, needless to say the wieght of two babies on board were killing my feet and my back... I tried Crocs (ew) and every other sport shoe or sandal there was to comfort these old dogs, no luck so I figured theres no win. When summer hit, I needed a pair of flip flops to get me through the hot weather, so I picked these up, Oh MY GOODNESS, where have you been all my life, the soft sole conforms to your shape and absorbes stepping "shock", The awesome ARCH SUPPORT doesnt flatten with time & never found in other flipflops! not to mention the sturdy straps...  My back issues were gone and no more tierd heavy feet/legs/back. I got another pair when pregnant with my 3rd and still, running after twin 2 year olds and pregnant, These Sandals truly support in all the right ways, YOU WILL WANT ONE IN EVERY COLOR... I honestly toured Japan pregnant and handling twin 2 year olds- for hours Pregnant in these and felt so comfortable, once you feel how comfortable they are for everyday use, all day use! Mine have lasted me a pretty long time (20months), but I always want a new fresh pair in a new color. so affordable for such comfort and style. You cant go wrong with this purchase!
