The comfort zone. First pair of O'NEILL sandals I've ever owned. They are extremely comfortable and have great arch support. They dry quickly after soaked in water. Non-slip bottom has great traction on wet surfaces.

Very comfortable sandal - Gets lots of compliments!

Has some problems - I purchased a pair of these flip flops about 1.5 years ago so I've had plenty of time to wear them. Pros: - Footbed conforms nicely to your feet, arch support is good. - Sandals feel decently comfy right out of the box no break in period like some other sandals. - Materials and build quality are good. Cons: - Footbed is very smooth and slippery. I figured that this would go away after wearing them for a while but it actually got worse. My feet constantly slide around in them and it is rather uncomfortable and easy to slip. - Sandals feel heavy and clunky. The sole part is thick and wide and sticks out a little around all sides of your foot. Overall I would not buy these again. The smooth footbed is really uncomfortable so much so that I don't wear these outside of the house anymore.

My Main Squeeze - Once you get these boots onto your feet, they are terrific. It's important, to start by unbuckling the belt (duh!). Seriously, I did not think of this technique at first and, consequently, felt like one of Cinderella's Big and Clumsy Sistie Uglers trying to squeeze a big fat foot into a tiny narrow boot. Were these really the right size? Yes. But, alas, after I undid the belt, my foot did eventually make it into the boot and the shoe fit fine. And it was comfortable. I know that I have a high instep and that this could account for the difficulty I had getting my foot into the shoe. But once it was in, it was worth it and it felt great. I did not have the same problem taking my foot OUT of the boot, and as I really detest the idea of inside or hidden zippers on boots (to aid in getting in and out of them), I do not think that the shoe should be redesigned. I'm happy to struggle for 30 seconds or so to get them on. No doubt the boot will loosen up a bit with wear, and that it will be easier to put on after it's broken in. In fact, I expect it to become my main squeeze (pardon the expression). I like the front dip in the top part of the shank, the pull-on part around the ankle. It is very flattering to a leg with a slighter than desired calf muscle. The round heel is cool. I love the shoe and I would love it even more if it had been on sale when I bought it. It's expensive, but I didn't want to let it get away from me. It isn't often to find so much style in a short boot. Although I give it 5 stars for looks and 5 for comfort, I give it only a 4 overall since some folks probably won't want to work so hard to shove their feet into their shoes. (That is, if other people actually do have trouble doing that. They might not if their insteps are not as high as mine are.)
