Customer Reviews Cobian Braided Bounce

Comfortable and stylish shoe. If you are a half size, I recommend sizing down. I sized up and wish I hadn't. I only really noticed it as I wore them a few times and they loosened up.

I have a bad back and fibromyalgia. Much issues with feet and lower back. My daughter told me about these shoes due to her RA and feet issues. I first bought the Cobian super bounce and loved them then just recently bought the regular braided Cobian flips. I can't wear them. They make my lower back hurt so, so bad. Looks wise I like this one better but the super bounce work better for my feet and back. But warning and these seem to run a half size small while the super bounce run bigger.

Comfy but built for long toes. I'm a definite 7.5 and I ordered the 7 since there are no half sizes. Too small, heel hanging off the back. Returned and got the size 8. Strangely, my heel was not much further onto the sole. The slight oddity is that the thong attachment is far back from the front of the shoe, pushing your foot back toward the heel. I kept the 8 as they just barely fit and I figured the thong would loosen up to allow my toes to move a bit forward. They did a loosen a little, and besides - the cushioning, comfort and 'bounce' of these flops was worth it. I walk a lot in summer flip flops (including frequent multi-mile outings). These keep my feet happy and never weary like some other thin-soled flops. Plus the multi-metallic braid matches everything!

Uncomfortable between toes. But very cute. Returning because I need comfortable AND cute!

Not dissappointed with the style at all, but in the pics it looks like there COULD be arch support. Unfortunately the base is so 'tall' that my feet wobble all over. Great if you don't have flat feet like me, they are very cute and spongy comfort for the beach but not really for true support.

This is a very comfortable sandal, though I have to return as the inner straps are too loose for me to walk in without my feet sliding inwards.

Arch support was uncomfortably aggressive. Seemed short vs other brands I've purchased (Teva, Reef, etc). More "spongey" than I would have liked. Just not a good match for me.

I have narrow feet. True to size in the length. However I could not stand more than a few minutes with them on they were so tight. Returned.

The braided upper material was too bulky and cut into the underside of my foot on both sides. I love Cobian flip flops in general but these were a disappointment. So cute though.

Like many other reviewers stated, these are too small! I've ordered size 7 in this exact flip flop for years and suddenly it's a good inch too short and even a little too narrow. I'll try a size 8 and hope they're not too big.

These are very comfortable on my wide feet and arches. However, unlike my other Cobians, the straps rub my feet. Very unfortunate, as Cobian is my usual go-to for flipflops.

Some Cobian models have a weird fit, it seems that if the top is thick, the right length feels tight, but the next number, which feels fine, is too long. Unfortunately, this is one of such models: my size fits too tight, the size above is too long.

Comfortable foot base but almost too soft heel because my heels just sunk into the floor. If the heel were higher I would have kept them. I recommend you go a half size larger.

I read that these run small. I typically wear a size 9 shoe so I ordered a size 10. They're a tad large for me but for sure a size 9 would have been too small. The front of the sandal is also very wide. I have had cobians in the past and they last forever so despite the less than perfect fit I'm going to keep them but will not order again.

It's a nice sandal but I normally wear a 6-6.5 so I ordered a 7 and my heel is off the end of it. For this expense the shoe should fit correctly.

I ordered a size 8 and I wear 8 1/2 so I am returning them for a 9 because my heal is right at the edge of the shoe. Gold is dressy and the shoe is comfy.

I am returning these here is the problem: The polyester post between the toes is too short for me and causes a blister after just a couple of hours of wearing these around the house. This is not right for this die hard flip flop wearer who is living the dream of beachside living and who wears flip flops every single day. But here are the positives: They are very cushiony and they are also very cute. I like the braided top which adds a little zing. Still, I cannot recommend these flip flops.

I love my other Cobian shoes and had high hopes for these. Unfortunately they seem to run a full size too small. I usually wear a 7.5 and ordered an 8 but they were still a little small. I'm afraid if I go up to a 9 they will be too big. The braided part is also not that flexible and didn't seem comfortable for walking. The foot bed was soft and wonderful though! I will try and different style in this brand and hope for the best.

These are very Reef-like. I cannot wear Reefs. I need more heel lift and support. These, like Reefs, make me feel like I am walking up hill. Other than that they seem comfortable.

I love the Cobian flip flops. But this style runs short compared to the other Cobian styles for some reason. Unfortunately had to return.

Straps seemed far too loose and natural colors were much duller than pictured. Nice and squishy if that's what you want, but felt unstable to me because of how thick they were. Looking elsewhere.

All of the Cobian flip flops I bought this year were both too short and too narrow. I've been buying size 7 for years, but suddenly I need a size 8 which still felt a bit narrow but it will work.

Piece of shoe missing on footbed. Returning

The toe piece (that goes between your big toe and the next one) is misplaced. It's too far away from the front of the shoe, so you can't actually slide your feet all the way onto the footbed. Very odd. And uncomfortable.

While I love the look of these flip flops, the strap is way too tight. My foot barely fit between the strap and the platform of the shoe. I'm very disappointed since the platform was very cushy. Regretfully I had to return them.
