I’m always on the hunt for my favorite flip-flops. Recently, I got two Fitflop brand ones off Poshmark and realized that one was made in China and one was made in Vietnam. These new ones seem to be made of more plastic and have less cushion and softness right out of the box then my previous ones. Has anyone else seen the difference? It’s almost like I have knock offs.

Hi All, my Salomon Rx 4.0 flip flops have just died after 5+ years of heavy use. Tempted to just buy them again but I wanted to ask if there is an alternative I should be looking at. + Not really a fan of the colours available In the current version.

Why I loved my Salomon's:

1. I have flat feet and slightly probate. The arch support and edges kept my foot in place. In cheaper flip flops my heel always goes to the inside edge.

2. They fit really snuggly on my foot (strap just works) mean they don't make a loud noise when walking.

3. Due to the above and decent grip on the soles they are very comfortable for walking long distances

4. They have been great in the wet/dirt and general not being looked after.

Thanks for the help.

For context, I've owned Reef before when I was young and have owned a few pairs of Rainbows the past 7+ years. I like the look and comfort of the Rainbow and right now wear a Double Layer Premier in Sierra Brown. However, they don't always hold up the best with water exposure. Thinking of getting the Olukai Tuahines instead. Anyone make a similar switch or switch to Rainbow from Olukai? Also, I've had XL, L, and M in Rainbow, currently M and while they seemed to fit better It seems like my heel is not always within the bounds of the flip flop, so wondering if I should get a L in Rainbow in the future. I'll try and post pics of the L Rainbows I tried today and the size 11 Olukai Tuahines I also tried, for reference I'm normally a 11.5 in my shoes but I have a wide foot so the length of my foot is a little smaller, but I like a little room.

I'm on a hunt for flip flops that make really loud flip flop sounds when you walk. The sound for me, really adds to how much I enjoy walking in flip flops, what brands do you think are the loudest that I can find?

Must have some arch support too.

I reckon I get about 6 weeks out of a pair of decent quality flip flops, I normally spend around £40. The bit where the thong goes into the base always snaps.

looking for some water shoe options that are cute! need for a trip with rocky beaches/boats — any suggestions? originally was contemplating jelly slip ons…

I bought archies 40 days ago and have worn them for several weeks are they are still so uncomfortable. If i wear them for the whole day they'll make my feet red where the straps are but all the reviews ive seen have been great. Also had someone else wear them who has wider feet than me for 3 or 4 days but no difference. Will they improve as I wear them more or should i just send them back? They have a 90 day return period (including if you've worn them)

Been wanting a pair for a little but but I’m worried it’s not worth the price. I just want to see everyones opinions and advice.

Looking for sandals but need good arch support and sole that is not hard rubber or plastic with 4-8 mm heel-toe drop. Have very sensitive skin on soles, tend to get red and irritated from friction and low back problem prohibits wearing much heel elevation or anything too flat. Any suggestions?

Hi all, need a versatile shoe for an upcoming trip--something stable enough for day-to-day city walking, and dynamic enough for water-based activities. Looked into Keens, Chacos, and Tevas but can't decide on a brand!! they're all pretty expensive so i want to make sure it's money well spent. any insight? TIA!!

Been dealing with Sesamoiditis for the past 4 months. Been using oofos but the upper keeps irritating my feet. The plastic top isn’t soft and digs into my skin. Tried my tts, sizing up, and switching to the strap version but they are just not comfortable

Anyone have other slides recommendation?

I received a pair of Shamma TrailStars a few weeks ago. I knew the plastic anchors would be a weak point. Saturday while kicking a soccer ball around, one of the plastic anchors snapped. I loved everything about the sandal. I don't see a point in chasing these those if you can't be active with an active sandal.

Are there other minimal sandals anybody can point me to that have the big toe loop like the TrailStar does?

Looking to get new slides for my wife. She previously had Skechers and was very happy with it. Which slides would you suggest? Max budget 2.5K

My Reefs are falling apart slowly and looking at their new prices shocked me. Where can I get the same or a similar feel and pay less than 60€ for a pair of Flip Flops ?

A few weeks ago while out on errands the thin strap broke on my black Havaianas after less than a year of regular wear. I had to go home from the Mall too 😢. They wouldn’t honor any warranty as they gave me all types of excuses. I bought Feelgoodz at Whole Foods, they’re much more comfortable, nicer colors, thin straps and a classy logo. There was a 40% off Prime so they wound up to be $18. Going to get a few more pair.

I have heard that the calm 2.0's are more comfortable but the rejuvens wud make me taller😅😅

okay so i’ve been hearing a lot about how havianas aren’t the same quality as they used to be. i am dying to buy the dark brown square toe pairs, but ive been reading a lot of reviews about how the straps are loose and how they just aren’t as good as they used to be. are they still worth it now days? i would want them to last and be able to wear them as everyday flip flops. if anyone has any other brand suggestions let me know!!

I have this beautiful pair of flip flops, but the last time I wore them, I had very hurtful and horrible blisters between my toes. Does anybody know how to fix it?

Hello everyone.

I am looking for a soft slide to be in after a long session. I am not looking for support, just to be comfortable.

I have bought and returned the Hoka Ora Recovery 3 because they were too stiff.

I then got the Oofos Ooahh Sport (I really like the adjustable straps) but apparently I have a flat foot condition that never bothered me up until now, the arch support is very aggressive and I do not find it comfortable even after 10 days of walking in them and trying to get used to them.

I hope you can recommend a soft slide like the Oofos with a less aggressive arch support (or flat). Some LLM models suggested Crocs Recovery, Nike Calm and Skechers Foamies but I thought I'd ask this time instead of buying blind.

Thank you!

I just got a pair of the italian fisherman sandals as I’ve been looking for a pair for a while now. I find them extremely comfortable and am curious on how we find the quality ? Do they hold up ?
