To anyone who is wondering about the difference between the Fraid Not's and Fraid So's: Basically, the only difference is that Fraid So's are a bit heavier, along with having less comfort on the footbed. I also felt that the straps were a little tighter than the Fraid Not's, but it just might be unavoidable manufacturing differences. Overall, I think it's no different than Fraid Not's. The Fraid Not's are more comfy, but I just love the multi design of Fraid So's.

Comfy cozy right out of the box! Originally bought these in a 9 but they felt a bit snug. Returned (awesome awesome service) and replaced with a 10. These things are amazing right out of the box. Really really comfortable. Better than my Reefs but they're nice too! Zappos rocks the house again and again!

I had a pair of Fraid Nots for a year and a half until I blew out the stap (abusing them). My complaint with the Fraid Nots was that the stap was too loose - it required some effot to keep them on my feet at times. After reading a review here I decided to give the Fraid Sos a try - the strap fits much better and the sandals are more secure on my feet. My only complaint with the Fraid Sos is that they have an indented logo right under the heel, which is a bit irritating and detracts from the great soft feel of the sole covering. I\'m hoping that with time the indent wears down and I can\'t feel it. \r\n\r\nOther than that the only comment I have is that they run a bit small - I\'m usually a 9 1/2 and the 10s are within a centimeter of being too small. Also, the Fraid Sos are slightly heavier than the Fraid Nots, but not enough for me to tell the difference. \r\n\r\nLove the look and feel!

My son loves these. He usually doesn\'t like something between his toes but these don\'t bother him at all. These are his 3rd pair of sanuks and hes loves them. Plus sanuks are so reasonably priced. He still has his from 2 years ago

I first saw these flops in a gift shop in Austin, TX but they didn't have my size. When I got back home I found them online at Zappos. I hadn't ever dealt with Zappos before and was pleasantly surprised by their prices, in stock availability and "no shipping cost". Oh, and the flip flops rule, but I knew that before I purchased them. They're soft, comfortable and easy on the toes. I will definitely shop at Zappos again.

Zappos makes the whole shopping process a pleasure. Upon getting my purchase I realized that I needed a different size. The return process couldn\'t have been easier. They even paid for the product to be shipped back, all the while keeping in contact as to the status of the return. I would recommend Zappos to all as a great place to shop.

These are hands down the most comfortable flip flops I've ever had. Every part that contacts your skin is soft and they are well cushioned and very light, yet seem to be very sturdy. They also provide great support. The only potential problem I see is with the soft top (the part that contacts the sole of your feet). I don't know what material it is (seems high quality, maybe soft leather? - has the appearance and feel of suede). I've had other flip flops with similar soft topping and I've always ended up working a hole in the material with my toes. With other flip flops, I think it was caused by the topping being a bit loose (i.e., not 100% secured to the shoe), which causes friction when you walk, thus eating holes through the topping. The topping on these is completely immovable and I believe it will prevent holes from wearing through the material. Also, as I said, whatever the material is seems to be very strong. So far, I've worn these about 2/3 of the days for the last 2 months, with a considerable amount of walking, and everything is perfect with no signs they will give out any time soon. If they wear out, I will update my review. Oh, and they look great with almost any outfit (at least for casual Southern California).

I bought a pair of Sanuk Fraid So sandals from Zappos and they are awesome! By far the most comfortable sandal I own! I also have three other pairs of Sanuks in "shoe sandal" styles and I swear by them also. They do run about a full size smaller than normal so you may want to order one size up. I do want to give Zappos Customer Service Center huge kudos. My Fraid So sandals were a size too small so I called them up and they said no problem to either a refund or exchange. I asked for an exchange and within 24 hours had my new pair! The service rep was awesome and this is what I call "World Class Customer Service"! Zappos you have a customer for life!

I bought them for my husband and he loves them, thinks they are the most comfortable slaps he\'s ever had.

Just got these yesterday. Great sandal. I had the O'Neill Groundswell Sandals for a couple years and they were great. Very comfortable, but a little loose. Perfect for Florida style though. The Sanuk Fraid So's feel much more sturdy without being bulky whatsoever and are super comfortable. They do seem to run a little small but they fit snugly around my foot which is nice. Highly recommended!

I love them! These shoes are wonderful. I buy them over and over. I'm a respiratory therapist who is on my feet 12 hours a day. When I get off duty I can still walk. This is not true of other shoes. Please don't ever stop making these shoes!

Unbelievable Comfort. I have worn several different brands of casual shoes but this is the most comfortable I've found. I thought that Rockport was the best, until I wore a pair of these.

The Best! I've worn these shoes for about ten years now. I'll never buy any other casual shoe. When one pair gets worn, I buy a new pair. I always have one pair in white and one in black. Straight from the box and on your feet, they're comfortable. No break-in needed!

Easy Spirits only for me. I bought my first pair of Easy Spirit shoes ll years ago. I still have that pair, plus 6 others. The first pair is starting to need replaced, but I still wear them. I have a problem with my back and legs and have found the Easy Spirit shoe is the only one I can wear and not experience leg pain.

Do I own this shoe? I most certainly do. I've had foot problems all my life. I saw an ad in a magazine when Easy Spirit first came on the market and I called right away to find out where they were sold. I've been buying Easy Spirit ever since. The Motion Shoe is the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. No more corns, no more callouses and no more foot discomfort! It's worth paying a little more for a good shoe. Hurray for Easy Spirit!

Best walking shoe ever! I am 83 years old and it is hard to find a narrow enough shoe that I don't slip and fall in. When I do very much walking this is the shoe my doctor recommends for comfort and support.

Fit of new shoe - The shoe is perfect for my need. I have MS and walk with the assistance of a cane. The shoe is perfect for when I need a dress shoe but it is very tight. I'm hoping it will get more comfortable with more wearing.
