Narrow toe box - The toe box is unusually narrow; had to return.

This is a very well-made shoe with soft leather upper and linings. I bought this for my middle-school age son who needed a pair of black leather shoes for concerts but also for more versatile use. It looks sharp with his black dress pants but equally nice with jeans, khakis and athletic pants. It has a nice combination of a bit of dressiness (smooth black leather) with a more athletic design and sturdy outsole that will be more versatile for him. He says the shoe is soft and supportive. I would say from trying it on myself that it has medium arch support.

Great thongs - I bought these for my boyfriend and he loves them. He can wear them for most anything in South Texas; beach, around the house, washing the car, etc.

Christmas present for a boater - My husband had admired these shoes on a friend and then forgot about them. I surprised him and myself by finding them on line. He absolutely loves them and can't wait to wear them boating. It's 20 degrees here and he is wearing them around the house like slippers.

This was a little rigid and takes some breaking in. But overall, it's a fine shoe. Just what I wanted.

Looks great, feels great - Fit right out of the box. Within a couple of days this thong molds to your foot and hangs right in there when you walk. It's a 10 for comfort and looks. Get 2 pair while your at it.

The shoe size is fine. But compared to my other 2 pairs of flip flops the strap is raised too high and so it makes it hard to walk around without it sliding off your foot. What they need to do is to reduce the length of the thin strap that goes between your toes.

They broke easily - I found the shoe to be comfortable and good-looking. The one complaint I have is a major concern. It broke on me within 2 months doing normal activities. I would not recommend.

Sperry Santa Cruz thong - I have always worn sperry thongs. When my last pair finally died, I bought the Santa Cruz thong. Best puchase I have made. Very comfortable and have a great look.

Zappos and Sperry; Winners! I had asked for next day delivery on these sandals because we were leaving the country on vacation. The lady took all of the info. and set it up so I'd have them the Friday before we left. It got mishandled and was set for 2nd day. Too late! I called and they apologized. Zappos took off the overnight charges and sent the sandals AT A NOCHARGE! They were at my office waiting when I got back. Is that customer service or what? I feel obligated to trade with these people because they are so darn nice and service oriented. They really take pride in customer satisfaction.This shoe is a favorite brand of mine. Sperry quality and style has not, in my experience, been surpassed by any other thong maker. They are light, stylish and rugged. The strap fits higher up on the arch so they stay snug. The leather doesn't stretch out like others when wet. Great for boats and water. I love 'em. They'll last a long time, too! When I bought this pair it was because I had lost one shoe while moving, not because they had worn out. I had had them over 5 years.Buy from Zappos. They are the best shoe store online or anywhere else.
