Customer Reviews Vineyard Vines Whale Flip Flops

Very comfortable

Okay, I am a female who wears regular width women's flip flops. I cannot for the life of me understand why the width of men's sandals is cut the same as women's. I started checking out men's sandals because women's sandals have started shaving the witdth on the outside of the sandal and not accounting for that little outward curve just below the pinkie toe attachment to the foot. This causes comfort problems for me. I am so disappointed with the high end flip-flop makers (Reef, Nike, Vineyard, Vionic, Adidas, etc, etc.). If I correctly recall, Clarks were wide enough but not comfortable (too heavy). Sketchers were wide enough but the band was loose and they were too heavy to allow a comfortable stride. If the band is loose and the sandals are not heavy it is not a big deal. I thought of ordering an 8 instead of a 9 but I figured they probably wouldn't be long enough. The only brand that hasn't shaved the women's sandals beyond belief is Teva. And even they have pulled the same stunt. One would think foot outfitters would take into account the anatomy of a foot. The Teva Mush is the best as far as width but there is no upturn at the toes making them a bit dangerous (tripping hazard) so it does change how you walk. The second best Teva is their Voya Flip, but they are still not as wide as the Mush and honestly a fail on the outer width issue. I kept them because I wanted a pair with the upturn at the toes for days that I just don't want to change my stride to accommodate the flat bottom and always be thinking about lifting my foot. My favorite Flip Flop used to be the Nike Jojo. What a disappointment I had when trying them on. The width is laughable. I'm starting to think companies that make Flip-Flops need to start calling their width narrow and start offering true medium flip-flops as they did in the past.

Cute & comfortable! I felt these were a little bit wide, but I have narrow feet for a woman. Since technically these are men's sandals, I'd say they are sized perfectly. Definitely would work for women. Very comfortable, and new favorite flip flops.

Love these. Quite comfortable and the fabric toe divider doesn't chafe or hurt. Could be a little softer (Reef's are a tad better, though not as stylish).

These are cut extremely small, unless you like the heel at the very edge I would highly recommend ordering a size up. The overall design is nice.
