User Reviews
They may not be super stylish but these are my favorite and most supportive shoes. Great arch support. I wear these daily for most of the year and they hold up well. They are very supportive and comfortable.
These shoes are great. I have been a loyal wearer of Crocs Capri V flip flops with the dual-layer footbed for years and years and was devastated when they discontinued that style. I have been on the hunt for another pair of flip flops that are supportive enough for an entire day of wear in Disney parks and around town. I have been wearing these around my house all day can confidently say that they are a close second to my beloved Crocs Capri. The footbed is contoured so perfectly, and the straps do not rub or pinch at all. I have a fairly average-width foot. On a more narrow foot the straps may be loose, but they're perfect for me. I am excited to try other Chacos products now that I know these fit so well and are so well-constructed.
This is a half size small, which works for me because I already have a half size foot, so it fits perfectly. Consider going up a size bigger otherwise.
I waffled back and forth between ordering a size 9 or 10, since it varies so much between brands. I went with the 9 and when I tried them on thought I'd need to send them back- the straps were a bit snug and made my little toe sort of fall off the edge. I decided to wear them around the house for just a few minutes to be sure...and my two year old proceeded to spill chocolate milk all over my foot. So. No returning. I cleaned them up and decide to give them a chance and I'm SO glad I did. The straps stretched out just a bit making a perfect fit, not too snug but tight enough that I don't have to grip the shoe with my toes. The amount of arch support is just right and after 20 years of working on my feet on hard concrete floors, I must have a comfortable sole. These are now my every-day go-to shoes and I'll be ordering a few more pairs! The dark tie-dye print is super cute, too!My only complaint is that the strap between my toes on one foot was pretty stiff and made my toes sore for a few days, but once they broke in it had not been a problem.
Super cute and comfortable. Lightweight.
I liked how these sandals looked and felt, but they were too short.I ordered my normal shoe size (6), but the heel isn’t long enough for my foot, so I returned them for the next whole size up (7), and those fit better.Otherwise, they have good arch support, feel secure on my feet, are not slippery, and seem to be well made.I should have paid attention to the other reviews… they do run short, but it can be remedied by ordering the next size up.
The shoe is well constructed. It has a soft layer on top of the solid shoe structure. The strap is not p[lastic and is soft and comfortable. The fit is the problem. I wear an 8. i ordered an 8. The shoe fits like an 8.5 wide. keep that in mind when ordering.
I need solid arch support because of failing arches and these flip flops are perfect for me. I usually need to have a custom orthotic in my shoes or I’m in a lot of pain after walking but these work almost as good as my custom inserts.I’ve worn them all summer, even to a theme park and the large county fair and I’ve had no more pain than is my usual. They are super comfy between the toes and the material isn’t scratchy or annoying.They have held up and look just a good as the day I started wearing them. I’ve washed them after a few dusty days and they look great cleaned up.
