Rafters. Tread Lighter.
Starting with a single sport sandal in the spring of 1992, Rafters has expanded into performance water sport shoes, sport casual sandals, and technical sport sandals. During the last ten years, Rafters designers and product managers have devised new and innovative methods of producing footwear using recycled materials.
Upper webbing is made of recycled PET from plastic water and soda bottles.
Outsoles are made from 25% recycled rubber.
Lining is made from 60% bamboo fiber.
Mid wedges and outsoles are infused with jute plant fiber and cork, reducing the amount of rubber needed for production.
The makers of Rafters also wear and test their products in the Pacific Northwest and understand the needs of their customers. Their reputation has been built around each and every customer and standing behind their product. The team at Rafters is dedicated to designing and producing quality sandals for everybody to enjoy.
Rafters takes pride in offering durable, high-quality and environmentally friendly sandals. Theyre perfect for any water sport, a day at the beach or even by the pool.

Four Star! Fits very well and feels good; size is very close and looks good. Waterproofing is good when your feet sweat. Very comfortable to wear and walks well, too; stays on like they should. Feels light, but still has the support and foot protection one would expect. The price is about right for a good value, and time will tell if these will hold up for the long term.

I bought this pair to replace a pair of Rafters I have been wearing since 2003. Yes, they lasted that long and I wear them for everything. I love these things and they are comfortable and rugged.

I love these sandals. I have worn them every day since I got them. I had to order a size larger. Zappos gave me great service and had the next pair to me the next day. Can't beat that!

Casual comfort and style -
I love wearing flip-flops, but regular flip-flops accentuate my incipient bunions. Wearing the Antiqua, I love how the delicate-looking straps help camouflage the problem.

With a little wearing in...
I bought these shoes in a hurry one day because I liked the look and needed some flops badly. My feet are pretty wide and the sandals were uncomfortable at first. I wore them for a couple hours a day every other day for a couple of weeks and now they are some of my favorites. Not as good as Keen for arch support, but not been a problem for my usually picky feet. I will definitely buy Rafters again!

When I first got this shoe, I was concerned about the size, thinking that it might be running a bit small, but I have since fallen in love with these sandals. They are very comfortable. I absolutely love the fact that Rafters includes recycled materials in this style - as they do in many others. Yes, they are not adjustable, but that has not been a problem for me. Everyones foot is different, so these may or may not work for you. All I am saying is that I will definitely consider Rafters when I have to look for another pair of shoes.

I have had these for about five or six weeks now and I love them! They're comfortable and their simple style matches everything I wear. They seem pretty sturdy. I have been wearing them almost every day and they haven't shown any signs of wear and tear. It also makes me feel good that they are made out of recycled materials. I wish more shoes were made of recycled materials, like the mainstream brands.

These sandals are adorable! I have received many compliments when wearing them! These are more comfortable than I thought they would be and are not irritating to wear like some thong sandals. The color is pretty and the design is very cute! I would recommend these!

Reviewer:Anonymous
from Vermont Overall Rating:
Disappointed. These are very different from the version I purchased 4 years ago and which I'm still wearing. The primary difference in this new version is the a lack of length on the adjustable velcro fastening straps over the toe area and across the ankle. I was able to fasten them, but only at the very tip of the velcro and only very tightly. There is no room for loosening at all. Also, the padding over the plastic strap connector, across the toe strap and in the back of the heel is missing from this version. I don't have large feet, but these are truly unwearable because they are unfastenable in the areas mentioned.

Great Product -
Once again let me just say - HUGE FAN of Zappos and their customer service and shipping ...This product is very comfortable with the cork soles. It looks great and does not feel cheap. It has just the right amount of weight. Definitely not like the cheap foam ones or the heavy rubber ones. Just right. This is a replacement for a different pair purchased from another store which cut up my toes walking in it once. I have used these Lynx a few times with no problems. True to size.

Very comfortable sandals. However, the size runs a little small. I wear a size 10 and my heel is at the edge of the shoe.

This sandal is even cuter in person. I got these sandals in blue and it is a very vibrant color. They are versatile and comfortable. My usual size 9 fit perfectly and required no break in time.

Great for lots of walking -
This brand is my go-to brand for comfortable, sturdy, every-day flip-flop wear. I got the purple and they're bright and fun. They provide a lot of support for running around. My feet aren't tired at the end of the day when I wear these all day long. Plus, they clean up great--stay new looking for a long time.

These are actually quite comfy. I haven't tested walking around for hours, but for office jobs, it seems to do the trick. I can walk to meetings and my feet don't hurt. My feet are wide and small so these fit perfectly. I got a size 5 and my only complaint is that the heel part on the back of the shoe isn't soft enough. I had to add a Dr. Scholl's heel pad for more comfort. They are more attractive in person than online and very good for work.

Save your feet, save the world -
I have 2 pairs of these -- I love them. Much more comfortable than plastic/cheapy flip flops, they wash well, and last forever. And they are made from recyclable materials.

Great for narrow feet!
I have very narrow (and, according to the experts, "low volume") feet. So flips just don't work on me. When I saw a set of Chinooks on a gal in line at the grocery, I asked about them; they're that distinctive. She's a fan for the same reason - narrow feet. I couldn't find them locally, but Zappos has EVERYTHING. First thing to know, especially for men, is that these aren't two-strap flip-flops. They look a bit more like ruggedized versions of the Bass flips women wore around 1980. There are four straps criss-crossing, one with an adjustable buckle. Plus the rubber sole has threads interwoven and poking out. Nobody will mistake these for $5 flips. The contour and extra straps make them very secure and comfortable. They're also the best cushioning I've felt in a while. I don't generally like rubber insoles, but these feel fine. My only (minor) gripe is that the contour isn't quite for my foot shape, but the soles give enough that I quickly don't notice.

Not adjustable -
Very cool looking but totally unadjustable at instep and heel. Heel strap pushes my foot too far forward and the toe ridges bite into my foot.

Comfy for a casual flip -
The flip flop is quite comfortable for a casual day-I wear them to work, on the boat. If you are looking for a long walking/hiking flip flop, I would think something with more of an arch (for myself) would be better. Nonetheless, I have been wearing them every day since I got them, the web strap fits well- I like the non-slip bottoms also. More comfortable than others I have gotten, not to mention the bonus of recycled materials utilized!

 |  | Dear Zappos Customer Service Team: Thank you so much for putting our order into Priority shipping. Once again, you have been so fantastic to work with and have gone the extra distance to serve us well. Your product selection, range and quality are excellent, too. My order has shoes for our children, and it was such a pleasure to shop. Our children got to help choose and we got exactly what we wanted without driving all over town frustrated and empty-handed. The people who work directly with your customers as well as those who have developed and taught your ethic to your staff are commendable and outstanding. Ordering was so easy, and our children can't wait to enjoy their new shoes. Thank you for making this such a fun and positive experience! Kind regards, Kelly U. |  | ~ Kelly U., October 07 2009
