Detailed Review
When you slip into the Billabong Women's Malibu Flat Sandal, you'll immediately notice the luxurious feel of the leather upper. The use of sustainably sourced materials not only enhances the product's appeal but also resonates with environmentally-conscious consumers. This makes these sandals an excellent choice for eco-friendly fashion enthusiasts.
Comfort is at the forefront of the design. The soft upper conforms to your foot, allowing for a snug yet comfortable fit. The rubber sole provides adequate traction, which is particularly beneficial for a variety of surfaces, although it does lack a bit of support if you plan to be on your feet for an extended time.
One notable downside is the lack of water resistance. While this may be a limitation for some, it’s important to remember that the primary purpose of these sandals is casual wear. Accidental splashes are manageable, but they are not ideal for activities near water.
Overall, the Billabong Women's Malibu Flat Sandal stands out as a stylish and eco-friendly option for women seeking comfort during their summer outings.

User Reviews
Fits well and its perfect for a day at the beach. The sole is quite flat and hard, definitely not for a full day of walking.
These were super cute and sizing seemed fine for me at 8.5 but it is true I can wear a 9 so maybe they do run a half size large. The leather is real leather, not pleather, and I guess therefore the rather higher price for a pair of flat sandals. That and the fun aspect of owning Billabong, a company that always has really good quality products. This is a slide so you are relying on your foot to hold them on and not the most comfortable.
WHAT I LOVE!-fit is as expected per the sizing guide. These are also really soft and comfortable-great quality-great price-packaged really well and arrived when I expected it to-easy to communicate with company if you have any issues at allWHAT I DISLIKE!-nothing!OVERALL-HAPPY WITH THIS PRODUCT AND WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO OTHERS. WHEN I NEED ANOTHER ITEM LIKE THIS I WILL BE REPURCHASING!
Runs BIG!!!
These sandals are cute, and do fit true enough to size. I find they are not quite as comfortable as I had hoped, but that is just due to my feet and where/how they hit my small toe.Had I been able to try these on in person, I probably would not have gotten them for just anytime sandals. If I was looking at them to match an specific outfit knowing I would not have to do too much walking in them, I absolutely would have.They are not so uncomfortable I will not wear them. But how they hit my small toe, I know I can not wear for all day on my feet without repercussions. But they are cute, and comfortable enough that the right shaped feet could be very comfortable in them.
my wife really liked these. they are super cute with a colorful yellow strap on top. the sole is comfortable to walk in and they fit as expected. the issue is with the top strap rubbing on her foot causing discomfort after wearing them to walk around the beach. the problem could easily be solved if they had added some elasticity to the top strap. as they are there's no give at all and it starts to cause rubbing and blistering on her feet.
I ordered the brown color as it’s very versatile and matches just about anything.Easy to pair with your favorite shorts, or with a summer dress. They fit true to size but a bit loose in the toe area? I have super narrow feet and which it was a bit snugger but they still fit well5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
True to size. I ordered a 7 and that's my regular size. It doesn't have arch support but theyre cushioned.I loved them when I tried it on until I actually started to walk in them. This is a WIDE slide. I have average width and I have to kind of curl my toes when I walk so they wouldn't slip off.That would've gotten them 4 out of 5 stars but I knocked off another star because the top part, left side of my right sandal, rubs my skin with each step, causing burning friction. Had to wear a bandaid at first. It's no longer as bad but I still feel it every so often.This sandal is very pricey for the issues it has. $50 would've been more doable but $70 is steep for these slides. I don't mind paying money for quality but this isn't it.
