Customer Reviews Havaianas Freedom SL Flip-Flops

They've changed the sole on the Freedoms. I own 2 pair of Freedoms and they have a dense rubber sole. These just have flip flop foam. This foam is not going to hold up like the rubber or provide the same support. I'm very disappointed because they have cheapened the product without adjusting the price. I love the ones I already have but these are not the same shoes.

I purchased these flip flops for a vacation to a theme park. I wanted a sandal that would stay on my feet on rides. I wore these for 4 days and did a lot of walking and they were extremely comfortable. I also wore them to the beach and they were great there too. I was able to slip them on and off without undoing the ankle strap at airport security. I typically wear an 8.5 so I ordered both the 37/38 and the 39/40. The 37/38 was a tad bit too small but the ankle strap fit perfectly. The 39/40 fit better but there was a lot of excess ankle strap. I kept the 39/40 and trimmed off the excess ankle strap. I'd definitely buy these again!

I live in these during the summer! Very comfortable and durable.

A bit more stylish than the regular flip flop. I purchased specifically for an upcoming kayak and snorkeling tour; thought these would be perfect as you can get them wet and they won't fall off your feet.

Overall, loved these shoes

Got these as a gift for my mom and she loved them, but they definitely run small! very cute and slightly dressier alternative to a normal flip flop.

Fit is great! Havaianas are the only flip flops that don't require a break-in period, for me. These are elegant and are a great dressier sandal option. Haven't had them long, so not sure how they will hold up in the long run (I've had the strap between big and second toe break on Havaiana Slims several times from wear and tear within a year of buying them).

Great alternative to flip flops. I can wear these to work and not feel like I’m wearing shoes. The strap near the bottom of the foot does rub a bit at first but after a few times, it doesn’t hurt any more.

Great fit for me. I have short toes and feet that are wide in the front. These have the toe divider relatively close to the front of the shoe and a wider toe shape so my little toes don't fall off the edge. Squishy sole is comfortable. Easy to walk in all day. Flexible sole with no arch support, which is what I was looking for to achieve more natural foot action and keep my feet strong. Acai color is really pretty!

If you are anything like me, and you hate to wear shoes in the summer, these are the sandals for you. They are so comfortable! The feel of the material is so great, you feel like you don't have anything on your feet. The fit is perfect and can be adjusted. There is no sliding around on your feet. They just seem to become a part of your foot. I would definetly encourage anyone to try a pair. You'll love them. I've gotten so many compliments on mine. My feet are happy!!

This is my second pair of flip flops. I wear them all time.... very comfortable.

They fit pretty good probably a half a size smaller The style is pretty good I think the bottom cushion has been change .customer service is great

I really love those. It's my second pair. I bought my first pair 4 years ago when I was living in Singapore and wore them all day long. They were the only shoes that would not give me blisters in the hot and humid weather and would resist the daily heavy rain. Yes, the sole was more supportive and different than this one. The old sole was more cushiony for sure. This is more a regular flip flop sole. But I still love them and wear them a lot. I try to travel light and sometimes this are the only shoes I take when going to the beach. They are perfect for day time, visiting sites and cute at night as well.

Good fit length-wise but my wiiiiiide toes hang off the outer edge (though not so much that I can’t wear them, and people without the widest of wide toes won’t have an issue). They’re pretty loose around the ankle even with tightening, and are held on primarily through the strap that runs between the toes and up the foot, which puts more discomfort on the toes than a regular flip flop. But they look nice! So it’s not immensely comfortable and looks nice—pretty typical for a strappier sandal, I guess. No blisters even from day 1, but also won’t be reaching for them every day.

I wanted to love these, but unfortunately I’m in between sizes in these. I’m a true size 8 and couldn’t get these to work.

The strap is a bit hard to adjust and the first few wears it stretches. After more wears it stays and is great for beach walking worry free.

I bought a gray pair with rhinestones and absolutely loved them. Wore them daily with anything from dresses to soccer shorts. Sad this is, they broke after 3 months use, maybe even shorter. Broke. The strap completely broke in half as I was walking. If I didn’t love the comfort and look, I wouldn’t have bought another pair, but I did. Hope these last longer. It’s not like they are Walmart flip flops.

I have purchases these sandals for years. The size is definitely smaller than before.

They were very comfortable for a causal run around sandal. Love the back strap which held my heal down. There times I don't need the noise a flip flop makes. These are the best !

I purchased these sandals a few years ago and then wanted a pair in black. Their sizing seems to have shifted as I ordered the same size that I already own - 41/42 (I'm a size 12) and now these are too short. :( These flip flops are great for the beach because they don't kick sand up the back of your legs and you can go in the water with them without them falling off so I'm super bummed the biggest size doesn't fit me any more.

I agree with the other review about the soles being changed. I own several pairs in this style, because I love the back strap on them and they are quite comfortable and supportive in comparison to cheaper foam sandals. However, the latest pair I purchased, the sole wore quickly and is not providing the same support that the dense rubber sole has provided me in the past years. I'm so bummed these are not the same quality!

placement of straps in really uncomfortable underfoot

I agree with another reviewer, they have totally changed the soles on these and they are not as good! I have a pair that is 3 years old, my mom loves them too and always borrows them so I bought her a pair this year. I borrowed hers to walk to the beach and realized they have foam flip flop soles, mine have thick soft rubber soles and are totally different. The strap on one of mine started to tear and I had ordered another pair for me which showed up the day after I wore my mom's. They also have a foam sole and are not nearly as comfortable as the old ones. I fixed the old pair with a couple zip ties and will keep on wearing them.

These are so cute and I wanted to love them I am usually a 9.5/10 so I got the size rated for that but I probably should have gone up a size. Also, on the thong part that goes between your toes there is an awful seam where the rubber seam is. I returned it. There is no way I could have lasted in these sandals.

Very comfortable but definitely not black!
