This is my 2nd pair of Cobian 'Floaters'; by far, the most comfortable flip-flop I've ever owned. And the price for them, from Zappo's, was great. I've seen these in 'discount' retail stores for a lot more. A great buy!

Got these for my husband, who typically wears 9 1/2 EE. He loves them! We also tried the 10, but the 9 was a better fit, so 1/2 sizes may do well by sizing down. They have a nice contour and are simple -- no crazy colors or designs, just classic.

I bought these for my husband and he loves them. He makes comments all the time about how his feet never hurt when he wears them and how supportive they are. Highly recommended. I have a women's pair and I can't live without them!

Exactly what I expected. It's not a fancy all leather sandal, but it is perfect for everyday beat 'em up wearing.

These are very comfortable for me. They provide a good amount of cushioning (I'm 200 lbs). They did give me a blister on the top of my toe, but that was after a few hours and I never wear sandals, so I doubt it was the shoes. They are a little slick when wet, but no worse than any other sandal. I got my normal size and had to return them for the next size up so my heel wouldn't hang off the back.

Bought these for my husband. Good quality, comfortable and nice enough to wear outside the house. They look good and fit well too

I purchased these in black. After wearing them I described them as walking on two pillows of air. I was so happy with them that I came back and purchased them in brown as well. These are the softest, most comfortable flip flops I have worn. highly recommended and worth every penny (which compared to other shoes is very inexpensive).

I used to only buy Reefs, but the last two years it has been nothing but Cobians. These are by far the lightest, squishiest, and most comfortable sandals that I have ever owned. They are very affordable as well. Order one size larger than your shoe size.

Love Cobian flip flops! They are the best. The floater is awesome for the beach and the pool, washing the car, etc. Extremely comfy, and you can get them wet with no worries. Unfortunately, I lost one of mine in a late night drunken bicycling incident. That bush got the best of me that night. So, I just bought a new pair off Zappos. Take that, bush!

I love how soft and comfortable they are. I used them most of the time and I just enjoy the softness. I just hate it when it gets wet or I walk on water because it gets this bad odor after so I the pair and sun dry them them they're all good. These are durable too; they've haven't loosened up and everything's still intact. I've had this for half a year now.

The Cobian Floater is a great shoe for boys who want comfort. Really soft foot bed that provided for no complaining about his shoes during spring break week. And a little dressier than your typical sports-style flip flop.

Not a "flip flop" guy but these have been a most comfortable sandal. Fit was perfect and they have become my favorite summer choice!

This is the second pair of these shoes I have had and they are wonderful and very comfortable. However, on both pair the toe piece has loosened on one shoe making it very loose. Customer service has been fabulous and has agreed to replace the shoes.

The color online looked gray and the description of Carbon made me think these would be dark grey but they are really black. I called to ask if I could exchange for the tan and had the best customer service experience ever. They sent me the tan out that day and had next day. Very comfortable flops! Your feet mold to them leaving great arch support.

Very nice and great for the price! They won't last as long as Reefs, but they are much more comfortable, lighter, and a better overall value. I have had several pairs of Cobians now, but this pair in particular DOES squeak a bit against your feet, and your feet don't need to be wet to make this happen. Other than that, perfect.

I don't like the black rubber sole on item -mit leaves scuff marks on my floors. Want to exchange for a different style.

Good for the price range but some drawbacks.
If you like support and stability these aren't the best option but if you are used to cheap flip flops, then these are better than those.
They are pretty squeaky and I don't think they will be too durable.

Feels like walking on a package of marshmallows. The most cushy of the sandals I've tried. However, I'm concerned my 185#s will permanently compress these in short time. They just don't feel built for long term.

I found the great reviews on these slippers so I decided to try on the Cobian Floater and was fairly disappointed. I typically wear standard-width size 11½ so I got both sizes 11 & 12. The 11 was quite narrow where the strap connects to the sole. This created some noticeable abrasion around my mid-foot area. So I tried the 12 which fit better (no abrasion), however, one of the straps were so loose that it was practically unwearable -- possibly a manufacturing defect. One thing I noticed is the somewhat odd toe shape around the big toe which comes to a rounded 'point'. This is unlike other slippers which are more smoothly rounded. Also, the logo placement on the top-sole did not match that of the images on the product description. My pair has the 'C' and 'Cobian' on the heel only. Also tried on the O'Neill Phluff Daddy 2, Reef Slim Smoothy, and Sanuk Beer Cozy. The cheapest one (Phluff Daddy) proved to be the best fitting and most comfortable for me. (I will review all of them shortly).

Very comfortable when new but if you get them wet they compress and lose their thickness. Also the layers soon split at the heel.
