Detailed Review
When it comes to sandals that promote recovery and comfort, the Spenco Men's Yumi Pure Sandal stands out with its thoughtful design and impressive features. The added layer of memory foam ensures that each step feels cushioned, making them ideal for slipping on after a workout. You'll notice the difference immediately, especially if you’ve been on your feet all day.
The orthotic-grade arch support offers substantial help for those who experience foot fatigue or discomfort. Combined with deep heel cupping, it promotes a natural alignment of your foot, which is essential for overall well-being.
One of the significant advantages of these sandals is their ultra-fresh control technology, which helps in reducing odors—a feature that active individuals will appreciate. Moreover, the sandal's construction using synthetic suede makes it both lightweight and easy to clean, adding to its practicality.
However, it’s worth noting that while they are excellent for recovery, they may feel a bit firm initially for users accustomed to softer sandals. Additionally, the lack of extensive walking capabilities means they are best suited for leisurely use rather than rigorous activities.

I had worn Sole flip flops for so long I forgot what Spenco felt like. SO COMFORTABLE!! They are squishy and cushioned so well. Sole’s are nice and extremely sturdy- not much cushion or flex at all compared to these. I don’t think I can wear my old Sole’s now. As someone did mention- they had a little slippery feel to the feet (the cushion, not the bottoms or sole), but that went away after a week or so. I just love these. I don’t even go around the house barefoot. I sport these puppies 24/7.
I've been wearing them for years and have come to really appreciate the quality, support and comfort. I live in Florida so it's nice to be able to not wear shoes; too hot.
This is my 3rd pair of these, but now w/ a deeper heel, very comfortable...
It fits a little different than the other two pairs I had. It feel a little slippy when I walk. I still give 4 stars because the price. I don't think I can wear this the whod day like the other two pair Spenco

Spenco usually has had a great product. I have plantar fasciitis and Spenco sandals are recommended footwear for casual day to day sandals. I've had 2 pairs before, and they worked great, and they lasted years. These I should have sent back after the first week. The straps and the toe and the toe post were entirely too big eve3n though I had gotten the right size shoe. They would slide off my foot with every step. After only a few months the fabric glued to the footbed came loose...very loose... so I was then walking on large, very uncomfortable wrinkles. I will never buy this model again.
I had purchased other Spenco sandals because of their great support foot bed. They were great, but theses are awesome! The foot bed still has great support, but it is so soft it’s like walking on a cloud! Get a pair of theses, you won’t be disappointed.
Never did I think I'd ever pay this much for a pair of flip flops. Before buying these every summer I'd live in the cheap $10 Corona, Bud Light, etc from Walmart; going through a few pairs every summer. Recently I developed a pretty good bunion on my right foot and went to the Podiatrist. He recommended that i only wear shoes with very good arch support and to put good inserts in all others, as my flat feet will cause my feet to get progressively worsen if I didn't do so. (I'm 42 and I've known i have flat feet my whole life, but never had any problems or was told I should be using good arch supports all my life). Anyway, I live in sandals in the summer and didn't want to give it up, so I took a chance on these. I don't regret is! The don't have the amount of support as others I've tried, but it's plenty. The best thing about these are the combination of support and comfort...most comfortable sandal I've ever tied. They're also very well made.
