Be warned! This is the third time that I am buying these shoe! If it is warm out and your feet get sweaty, you may slide off the heel and subsequently break the shoe. the toe or side strap will easily break away from the sole. Why am I buying these shoes for a third time? They are comfortable, stylistically versatile and cheap...

Too small and way too narrow. Love platform flip flops but these have a very narrow foot base which is just asking for twisted ankles and many fall risks. I'm so disappointed. I love Rocket Dog shoes and I wished they would bring back the wider foot base with the platform height. Also these shoes run small, I have a very slender narrow foot so for me to say those are too narrow, they are on the extreme.

I have worn the crush for years and wanted something with a bit more height. These are awesome! The sole is harder than the crush so it won't squish down and loose height. They are true to size maybe a tiny bit small. Overall I think these are great and they seem like they will last several seasons.

These shoes are way too tall to be this narrow. They look cute cute need to be wider. They broke within an hour of wearing them. I am so bummed! These shoes are very comfortable so 5 stars there. For style, I would give 1 star because the broke within an hour but they are so darn cute they get an extra star. I love the height and look but they are too narrow. Overall I am giving 2 stars because I spent $40 for one hour of use. ROCKET DOG, please make these shoes with a wider base and make reinforce them so they do not break so easily. I bought two pairs and am returning the others. So sad, I really loved these shoes.

I had a pair of Rocket Dog platforms that lasted eight years. I wore this pair twice and they rubber ripped and the side came out. Zappos was very gracious and refunded my money, but I was deeply disappointed with the product.

This is a great pair of flip flops for me since I live in a warm climate and mainly I want to use them around ether house..would not wear out, not dressy for me or my style. Yes so comfortable not to loose..etc... very worth the price. And if you are short like me it brings great height.. don't be afraid of that//.they are not flimsy..try them and you'll agree

Just what I was looking for, they are perfect for spring and summer. They can be worn with jeans, shorts, dresses, skirts! Comfy and different!

I absolutely love these shoes! I've had 3 pairs and worn them out each time. I always find it difficult to wear wedges when the heel height is drastically different than the platform height but these Big Tops aren't like that so its easier to walk in than the ones that have a huge slant like you're on a constant incline. I'm always seeing bad reviews about them breaking when your feet sweat but I think its really the person trying to wear their wrong size. I've even walked into water with them on and had no issues. The only negative's is the lack of variety in color and my size (6) are nearly impossible to find.

I usually wear size 5 or 5.5 and I ordered size 5. They fit like gloves and have wonderful arch support. The shape of foot bed conforms to the shape of my feet as if they are tailored so my feet are very secure despite of the height of these shoes. I can walk in them for hours and never get tired! They are also very pretty and not at all clunky. I hope Rocket Dog keep this style and cut and I am willing to buy more pairs if Rocket Dog comes up with different colors of these shoes.

I would have bought both of these in a second had not it been for the reviews.. I've had Rocket Dogs in the past and ABSOLUTELY loved them so when I saw these I was ready to buy.. But with all the comments on how there cheaply made and sloppy to wear.. I'm totally shocked and saddened.. I really wanted them. Maybe you should listen to the consumers and change these to better quality because I would buy them for me and my family since we are shorties. ;) Disappointed! :(

I bought the striped Rocket Dog Big Top and loved them so much I wanted the black webbed also. Size 7 wasn't available but size 6 showed to be available, so I tried to buy it but as soon as I clicked "pay", up comes a message saying there are no size 6. So I requested to be notified when the 6 and 7 were available. Then I got an email stating that the size 6 was available but when I tried to buy it. The same message comes up and says it is NOT available. What's going on?

I normally wear a size 6 in these kind of shoes but after reading some of the reviews, I decided to get a 7. The 7 fits me perfectly and it accommodates my wide foot. These are otherwise fairly narrow and no way would a 6 fit me. It feels sturdy on my feet and beforehand, I was a little concerned about falling/sliding off the shoes, especially if my feet were to sweat but that hasn't been the case. I am 100% pleased with my rocket dogs!

Love these shoes! I'm a flip flop fanatic, and these are without a doubt the best I've worn.They're totally comfortable despite the height, and the multicolor stripes allows me to wear them with just about everything. Rocket Dog has a customer for life.

I love them. They're super comfy and stylish without looking like typical, cheap, flip-flops. I can easily wear them all day under all sorts of outfits. They can be dressy or casual, depending on the rest of the outfit!

I'm a true 9 and the 9 was perfect. Did not make my feet look big surprisingly. Multi color stripes are fun great for summer. Thanks Zappos for making my exchange stress free.

Can't wait for spring so that I can wear these cute shoes! I'm a huge Rocket Dog fan, and have been buying the Crush style for years (usually two pair per summer). May have to try a pair of Divers next.

Fun shoes but dangerous too. The straps got loose rather quickly and once that happened I had very little support. I had to walk with clenched toes in order to keep them on my feet without falling off and twisting my ankle. The last time I fell off of them the toe strap ripped out with a chunk of the filp flip "rubber". Because I am a glutton for punishment I am going to re-order one size smaller to see if the straps hold longer. Fingers crossed I don't break my neck!

I am buying these AGAIN for the 3rd time, as there is a design issue, and they do come unglued. I didn't read the reviews the first two times I bought them. I see many have had this same issue. I still love them, but do hate that they are cheaply made. Rocket Dog may want to take note! At this much bucks I will keep trying- and try to step carefully so that I never give them the chance to break.

Love the height of this shoe. However, the quality of the material and the design flaws of the Big Top are disappointing. I have broken 2 pairs after less than 5 wearings. It's a quality and design flaw on the part of Rocket Dog. The new material does not have the same make up as the old Jumb Surfs, which means lack of flexibility. The post rips up through the base of the shoe. And, after just two days of light use, it's easy to feel how the post is lifting from the base of the shoe. I bought 3 paris, thinking I would have them forever. Fail Rocket Dog. My old Jumbo Surfs, which are scary old are still in solid form.

I absolutely love the concept of these colorful flip flops. However, they are too high and you have to be careful with each step that you do not lose your balance and fall. The part between the toes is too long which makes it hard to stay on them. I so wish they were two inches lower. You can wear plain clothes and jazz them up simply by wearing these fun colored shoes.

I love these shoes, but unfortunately, the quality isn't great. I've had two pairs, and each pair broke within a month. I really love the style and the fit, but I can't keep buying them because they keep breaking.

Cute shoes. I bought a 9 but I am returning them for a 10, since they are a bit small. I would go a size up if you have a high instep and arch such as myself.

First of all thank you Zappos for surprising me with my package in a flash. I ordered the 8 (I am a true 9) because I wanted the arch to line up my narrow flat feet to avoid slop. I am returning them for the 9 as I am not happy with how my big toe falls off the side. The are cheaply constructed.

I normally wear an 8 and need a 7. I am experienced in heels and could possible keep them, except you can tell that the arch portion of the sandals doesnt quite line up so you have to be extra careful with the extra slop. I fear in the long run it will be at least a nuisance, at worst a trip and fall. Cute shoes though!
