User Reviews
The left foot has scuffs and wear marks on them. I didn't expect to be sent worn shoes.
Very very soft on the feet
I got these because I heard the phrase, "recovery shoes" for post running and figured I'd try them. I wear Fitflops as slippers so figured maybe these would be better, and cheaper. They are comfortable but they create a suction on my arch and a squish noise when i walk without socks on. Also, my feet sweat in them and I don't have sweaty feet in the fit flops. I'll keep them for the pool but would not recommend or purchase again.
I love these. And I don’t want them to wear out because they’re so comfortable so I keep trying to ration them but I just wanna wear them.
My foot ripped right out of it just waking across my yard. Almost fell and hurt myself. I’ve owned them for 36 hours and worn them three times.
The footbed is very soft and feels nice. Narrow fit. No arch support.
