Customer Reviews New Balance Renew Thong

These reminded me of a squishier version of the Vionic flip flops my pedorthist thinks I should have (and I keep saying no because they are too hard and hurt my feet). These NB flip flops have a rather pronounced arch, which is what I was looking for. Alas, because they don't make them in half sizes, I had to order up half a size, and the arch isn't quite in the right place. I don't think I dare size down to a 9 because the 10 "very nearly" fit. I'm a 9.5 (as measured by pedorthist). The shoe is also quite wide, wider than my pretty average medium foot, so my foot slipped around in them too much. On the plus side, it is "soft" but not flimsy. I find myself very much wishing that more companies would make half size flip flops with adjustable straps; especially with all these "orthotic" style contenders. What good is an "orthotic" style shoe that doesn't really fit? Sigh.

Love this sandal for around the house after long day on my feet. I was surprised that the arch support was so pronounced and thought at first that there was something wrong. But then I read that you have to allow for break in period. Glad I did. I'm ordering another pair soon!

So disappointed in this excellent shoe. The shoe is not bulky. It is light weight, shape and length fit like a dream... EXCEPT for the huge arch support on the sole. I have high arches, but even as soft and pillowy as the shoe felt the arch was just too much, pushing my foot sideways to accommodate the arch pad.

I purchased these flip flops to replace a similar pair that I bought quite a few years ago. I wore that pair a lot...in fact, I wore them out!! Was delighted to find these. They seem exactly the same. Hope they hold up as well as the first pair.

Finally, a flip flop with arch support and straps that don’t dig into your foot. This is a keeper, have it in blue and white.

Very impressed with these. I’ve got foot problems and doctors have told me to find shoes with better arch support. This is the first pair of flip flops I’ve seen that actually has real arch support and are really comfortable. Happy I found them.

I didn’t realize that the bottom of these were brown but I like them anyway. They have more are support than most flip flop and are very comfortable.

I like this shoe. There’s more arch support than most flip flops and is cushioned.

Love the arch support. Great rose gold color. Would buy again.

I ordered these in a 9 in rose gold. The color is beautiful and the size is good. Sometimes I have to get 9.5 and wide, these are fine in regular 9. They are very cushy with lots of arch support. I love them and will get in other colors. My 2nd pair of NB flip flops... Good job!!

I have worn only Nike cushioned flip flops for years as I loved the support they provided, unlike the cheap cardboard like pairs, but I can honestly say these NB thongs are steps above the Nike's in many ways - Comfort, style, and they are dressy enough to wear anywhere. I initially ordered this Gold pair strictly for the color to wear as my Hockey flip flops, and have already ordered others to replace the old Nike's in my closet.

Very comfortable right out of the box.

This has to be the most supportive flip flop out there. Great arch support! Wanted black, but the rose gold was a great sale and I love it - just perfect for poolside on our upcoming cruise!
