Talk about instant gratification! Last time I placed an online order (from another shoe site) it took 10 days to reach me, but my Zappos order came in 3 days flat. Bravo, Zappos! As for these flip-flops, I am stunned by how comfortable they are (and I speak as someone who has spent her life in shoe hell, since I'm plagued by multiple foot problems: high arches, a hairline fracture of a joint in the ball of my foot, etc., etc., ad nauseam). These shoes are very well designed and of obvious quality. Plus they're cool-looking. Take a well-run company that prizes customer service (Zappos), add an excellent product from an ecologically aware company (Ocean Minded), and you get a very rewarding shopping experience.

This is my 3rd pair of these flip flops over the past 6 or so years. They are the greatest ever and I will continue to buy these as I wear them out.

I did not think these would be comfortable, just cute! I was wrong. They are very comfortable and cute! I like them a lot. I absolutely love Zappos! They are great!

I bought this shoe in silver to wear with a formal dress instead of heels. Luckily because of the fashion these days it ended up looking great and wasn\'t too casual. The only problem was the dress was flowy and got caught in the back of the shoes a few times, but that was no big deal. Now I can wear these with anything - great double use!

Reviewer: Tony P from Waikiki

Overall:

Great style and look, poor quality. I bought these five months ago while I was backpacking around Australia. After breaking them in for a few days they were great flip flops. After 5 months of average use, they really started to come apart. The color on top of the flip flop started showing wear and turning different shades of brown. The heel started to wear really thin and the canvas strap in between the toes gave out in a spectacular blow out while walking around Waikiki. Great style, great colors, pretty comfortable, but durability is severely lacking. Will go back to Reef sandals.

These sandals are great! Lightweight, comfy from the beginning. My only problem was that my feet are a 1/2 size different, so one sandal is pretty loose and the shoe repair man I use says he can't alter the snugness without ruining the sandal. So beware of this if your feet are also quite different. However, that didn't dampen my appreciation for this shoe; it is well made, and feels almost like nothing is on my feet. Of course, they came lickety-split, too. Love Zappos!

I absolutely love these shoes! They are so simple and they look nicer than regular Reef or Rainbow brand sandals. They look especially good with summer dresses. I'm thinking about ordering the brown pair too. Their company supports the surf rider foundation, which is just great.

Runs small, VERY small. I wear 12 or 13, depending on the shoe. I ordered 13 in the Ocean Minded. It fit like an 11 or short 12. My toe pushed against the inside of the shoe, a first for a 13 in my experience. Returned the shoe.

Everything that I have ordered from Zappos has been exactly as they advertised and good quality. I can't believe how fast I receive the items! I can't say enough good things about Zappos; they have been great to do business with.

Overall:

I probably should have returned these, but I kept thinking maybe I needed to break them in. I think they are pretty uncomfortable. They are very flat. I must have thin feet because I feel like the strap is too tall and doesn't lay flat against my foot. I also think they look a little strange on my feet. I didn't understand what the other reviewers meant when they said they had to get used to how they looked, but they are a little awkward! For the price though they aren't bad, just not my cup of tea.

Cute and stylish. I would prefer the heel and toe size difference to be a bit less dramatic but otherwise I like these shoes.

Reviewer: Reagan from MO

Overall:

Purchased this pair of shoes as I wanted a casual flip flop heel with comfort. LOVE the shoes! Took a couple of days to break in one shoe, but now they are so comfortable. I have several pair of Reef Sandals and I would choose Ocean Minded any day over Reef. The color is not as pictured, as they are sand in color and not the oily brown that I expected. However, I don't care as their comfort outweighs the color. Have had them a couple of weeks and they withstood walking the strip at Las Vegas several times over!

Overall:

These are great Sandals! I love these sandals. They are an excellent alternative to flip-flops and can go summer-dressy or casual. They are well padded and the straps are comfortable. I live in NYC and sometimes walk all day and they have caused me no pain. Also, the strap is really flattering to your foot. I've worn them with dresses, shorts, jeans and wide-legged slacks. They are my go-to for the summer. Also, when I bought these, I bought some other sandals that cost four times as much that I thought would be my "nicer" but still comfortable sandal for the summer. However, these are actually more comfortable and go with more things. I definitely recommend. They are a real bargain.

Very cute shoe. They do run a little bit on the small side. The first time I wore them they were a little stiff, but not that uncomfortable. Nice and casual, but can also be worn with long summer dresses.

Sandal is very comfortable and has great arch support, making it very comfortable. Great for everyday wear. One of my main purposes for ordering this shoe, is the fact it can get wet. Great not just for the beach but, for around the pool, in the wet grass etc. Easy to clean. This is my first order from Zappos. Great delivery time and service.

Reviewer: w7brown from Northeast

Overall:

I was looking for a comfortable and stylish flop to perform double duty between the beach and post- Thai Boxing training. The Ocean Minded: Scorpion performs well. Decent (not extensive) arch support and looks great. Footbed is incredibly soft and comfortable. The hemp bottom tends to attract some dirt if you walk outside on terrain. They have not yet been beach tested, but they do appear to be easily darkened/discolored by water or even slight amounts of soiling on your feet due to the raw, foam- like material of the footbed. The Scorpions are definitely sturdy and feel very good. My only concern is how they will hold up aesthetically over time. Overall comfort and performance has been excellent. I would buy these again. And the OM logo is very cool.

Reviewer: Mike H from Hampton, VA

Overall:

Typically, I am not the biggest fan of sandals. I much prefer to slip on a pair of Pumas or Adidas than having my toes hanging out and heel flapping. However, these sandals have won me over. I am still not going to wear them as an everyday shoe, but they are comfortable enough to wear for a few hours on a boat, at the beach/boardwalk, or just chilling in the sun. I really like the suede bottoms, and the leather thongs were perfectly comfortable after the first wear. I refuse to wear footwear that takes hours/days to break in. I have read reviews of other sandals and do not understand how anyone could be happy with a product that takes hours to days to break in. Thankfully, these did not.

They are adorable and fit perfectly. They gave me a blister on the top of my foot where the strap is the first time I wore them. After that they were geat. I walked all over Santa Cruz Boardwalk this weekend in them and they were great!

Overall:

These shoes are the most comfortable flip flops I have ever owned. Right out of the box, they were comfortable and did not need to be broken in. I wore them for eight and a half hours straight at an amusement park. They kept me comfortable all day long. I definitely recommend these shoes. They have a thicker sole, but are not heavy. This was my first Zappos purchase, and I am very pleased with how quickly they shipped my order and the quality of the shoes. Thank you Zappos!

Super comfy sandals. I got the choco/blue and it's a nice neutral color you can wear with pretty much anything. Obviously they aren't a full shoe, but have more support than a regular flip flop and are great for wearing around or running errands. I love them!

By far the most comfortable flip flops I have ever owned, and I have probably owned over 50 pairs in my lifetime. I feel like I could walk for miles in them and the simple styling is very appealing.

Overall:

This is my second pair of Ocean Minded sandals, and so far they are not as comfortable as the first pair. The sole is completely flat and after wearing for a couple of hours, my feet are a little sore. I’m hoping they will become more worn in and maybe a little more cushy to stand on. The straps and metal rings don’t rub wrong on my feet at all, they are very comfortable. And they look cute on, better with shorts/dresses than with long pants. When I first put them on I thought, “ My feet look naked!� and that takes a little while to get used to.
