Super comfy, and the first pair of thongs that I've ever worn without pain. I ordered the black all-leather first, but the red toe strap clashed with my toenail polish (and probably would clash with most polish colors). So I got these black canvas and leather sandals and also a pair of brown all leather (with black toe strap). I have bunions and plantar fasciitis, and ordered in my normal size...it's a roomy fit but I wouldn't go down a size. These are as comfortable as a thong gets.

Great shoe! Very comfy. My big toes are very comfortable in it. Would definitely recommend.

Fabulous flip flop especially for anyone who needs support and soft soles for tender feet. I am a fan for sure. Only one problem...there needs to be half sizes available. I would get a much better fit if I could get my size in a half size. 6 is borderline to small and 7 is borderline to big...I would purchase more if I could get half sizing. I have seen others express the same concern about half sizing on other websites so I know I am not the only one with this complaint.

Fab sandal! I wore this FitFlop Sling shopping the same day I received them. The straps didn't rub and there was plenty of support. This is my go to sandal that I can wear with a nice top and jean capris or workout pants and t-shirt. This sandal treats my foot like an orthodic shoe with style.

I have never been a fan of flip-flop type shoes. I generally don't like the part that goes between my big toe and the next toe. But I thought I would give these a try since my friends all raved about FitFlops. I was amazed at how comfortable they were. The strap between the toes is soft and flexible and does not hurt. I just love these shoes. I will probably wear them all summer.

There are many reasons to love this shoe - lots of cushioning, the rocker motion as you walk, the comfortable fit. It does take some getting used to the exercise demanded of your leg muscles, which Fitflop does acknowledge. The footbed is a bit rough on the bottom of the foot but overall is a great summer sandal.

I'm a size 9 and these 9s were huge. Because I got them in black and they were so big, it looked like I was wearing men's shoes and they weren't at all flattering. In the right size I hope they'll have a trimmer and less masculine look because I really like the toe thong and strap style.

I have never purchased shoes on-line and was skeptical about doing so because show sizes vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. I ordered a size 7, but the shoes were too large. I called Zappos to determine my options for exchange and was treated like an old friend. I returned the shoes and received the replacement the very next day. Other companies should take a cue from Zappos regarding customer relations.

Never found a flip flop I could wear but THIS IS IT! Love the support and stability even when wet while gardening. Love the look with jeans and shorts and even long flowy skirts. Coming back for another pair, need more colors! Zappos is fabulous as always!

I knew what I was buying because I'd purchased a pair in another color at Von Maur, but the item was no longer in stock. Was happy to see Zappos had it!

Perfect fit and comfort. I have Achilles tendinitis and these have helped me enjoy walking again. I wore them everyday and wish I had another pair. The orange ones were beautiful. I guess I am a size 11 now.... Was a 10w most of my life but 11 seem to give the better fit. I have very high arch, wide at toes, and frequent sore heels.

These are the most comfortable flip flops I have. There is a ton of support for the arch and heel and the slightly elevated heel height gives great support for the lower back and takes any pressure of the heel. I loved them so much, I'm now buying more fun and sparkly ones.

So comfortable. These are my "go to " shoes when I am doing a lot of walking. For people that don't like thongs, this shoe might change your mind. You don't even feel the piece between your toes.

I am a big fan of Fitflops-this is my third pair. They are super comfortable and great to wear if you are on your feet all day for work or play. I would recommend going a size down though. I am an American size 6 or 6½, Euro 36 or 37, and I always buy a UK size 4. I like the sportier look of this style-sparley or bejeweled rubber sandals are not my thing!

I have these in the beige bottom/orange straps, and they are the best, so I ordered these. The toe strap is not as soft as my others were right from the beginning, but they're fine, and I trust they will soften with wear. Wonderful support & comfort. I take 7 in Fitflops, though I am usually a 7 and a half.

I really like my FitFlops. I normally wear 81/2 shoe, I noticed in reviews that they might run a little big so I ordered the 8 vs 9 when half sizes not offered and the fit is perfect. Very comfortable sandal.

I love these shoes! I have several pairs of Fit Flops and a day doesn't go by that I don't wear at least one pair. I have dressier versions that I wear with sundresses and others that I wear with shorts and pants. This is the only brand of sandals that I have found that has perfect shock absorption, comfort and doesn't cause my low back to ache from standing. They feel so ergonomically correct I can literally wear them all day without feeling like I need to take them off to give my feet a break. I'm a physical therapist assistant and I recommend these to a lot of patients that have hip, knee, and back pain. I don't claim they will make you fit... just comfortable!

None. Once you try these no other brand compares.

I have many pairs of Fitflops. Beyond comfy. This happens to be one of my favs. Got my daughter same color orange. Of course we wear them with neon orange toe nail polish. So so cute. You must get this style a size smaller than you normally wear.

Very comfortable and cute in fresh orange. I have a narrow heel and foot problems, so was afraid this wouldn't fit, but it did. It took practice getting used to not having to grip the thong between the toes! The horizontal strap (slightly different color) provides extra security. I normally take a 6 1/2 and the 6 worked well for me.

I normally wear a 8.5 to 9 shoe. An 8 in these was a perfect fit. Comfortable and attractive, but the arch support is not adequate for me. I can feel my feet pronating when walking or even standing. The only shoes I have found to have adequate support without an insert are Arcipedico and Orthaheel - so far.

These FitFlops are snugger than the original ones. I wear a 7.5, narrow shoe and these in size 7 come closer to fitting my foot more than any of the other FitFlops I own. And, of course, they have the wonderful FitFlop comfort. Ordered free, regular shipping but they were here in three days.

Love at first step! I have several pairs of FitFlop sandals, and I really like them. These, however, are my new favorite! I like the extra straps; they make the fit a bit more secure. I will be needing more of these, for sure! I like the look, too.

I have several pairs of Fitflops, and I like them all. I purchased these in the orange color, and they are really great looking summer sandals. They are comfortable and add a lot to most outfits. Zappos is incredible: I ordered these sandals on Monday and was wearing them the next day!

FitFlops where have you been all my life?! I have problem feet (had surgery for plantar fasciitis after suffering with it for 5+ years) and I can wear these shoes all day. Love them.
