Detailed Review
The Volcom Men's Recliner Sandal excels in creating a chill vibe thanks to its unique features. The soft padded Lycra lining minimizes discomfort, making these flip flops perfect for extended wear. Many users have praised the comfy footbed, which molds to your feet after repeated use, ensuring personalized comfort every time you slip them on.
One standout feature is the reinforced double webbing toepost that enhances durability and prevents cracking—an aspect often overlooked in flip flop designs. This detail speaks volumes about the quality and thoughtfulness behind the product's creation. Additionally, they are remarkably water-friendly, allowing for carefree use whether you’re hitting the waves or just splashing around in puddles.
However, while they provide an excellent foundation of comfort, the sandals may lack significant arch support for those who require it. This can be a deal-breaker for some users, especially if you plan on walking for long distances. A short breaking-in period may also be necessary to reach optimal comfort levels, so keep that in mind when purchasing.
Overall, the Volcom Men's Recliner Sandal Flip Flop is a solid choice for anyone looking for a reliable and stylish sandal for casual outings.

User Reviews
Been wearing these for years. Introduced to them living in Hawaii and love the padded soles. Very comfortable and stylish. Often get compliments on how nice they look.
These have become my new favorite flip flops. I wear them all the time. The footbed is like little pillows that feel great on the feet. They do mark my soles a bit with the design of the footbed, but that’s ok with me. I love these so much!
These flip flops are so comfortable I walk my dog in them every day. I borrowed my husbands once and promptly bought my own! I bought these to replace the pair I bought in 2017 that had started to see some wear. Will continue to buy these instead of the crappy women’s brands that don’t last or support my wider feet. I wear a womens size 8.5 and bought a men’s 7 and they fit perfectly.
I live in Florida so outside of work I'm always wearing flip-flops. Even in my house I wear them because, well, it's Florida and sand is everywhere (I live by the beach too, which makes it worse). I've had Volcom flip-flops before and even though the top where the bottom of the foot goes looked like car tire tread, they were the most comfortable things I've ever put on my feet... but not right away... and just like those, these require a few days break-in period. Sure, they feel funky for a couple days; The part where the sole of the foot touches these is like 30 small pillows, and right away they feel rather stiff for pillows, but a few days in and they are as soft as your favorite bed pillow. The part where your big toe and the next toe (whatever that toe is called, who knows) goes, feels rough and stiff, but just like the sole, a few days in and you feel like your toes and these flip-flops are cuddle buddies. Very soft! So, no complaint with comfort, as 3 days in and I've forgotten about my Quicksilvers and my old Volcoms, which is to say these are awesomely super comfy!What I don't like... and mind you these are flip-flops and comfort is king, so if you agree, don't read this and buy them. Now, if you need to know what isn't perfect, because you care about looks... then kick a star off and make it only 4 of 5. I personally care about comfort over fashion. But the edges of these, where the pillow looking bumps are cut off because it's the edge, looks like it was done with a saw. It appears rough (ruff - for you millennials) although it is physically soft.But that's it. Nothing else to speak bad of these. 3 days of wearing them and you get super dooper comfort. Those 3 days aren't so bad you'll get blisters or anything, they just aren't perfect in that time and feel walmartish til broken in. They aren't heavy, in fact they're really light which is great. They aren't expensive. Sure they aren't $6 like the "w" store-brand mentioned, but older Volcoms used to cost over $90, which sounds insane for flip-flops right? This price is much better and they appear to be made out of the same material as the old ones. Win win :D
My replacement for my fav before (Freewaters Therm-a-Rest Flip Flop) that's no longer available. It is comfortable but I can't say about its durability.Fits to size. I'm 7 and ordered 7.
Found Volcom sandals by accident and now I only wear this brand. I wear sandals from March to December (Chicago Climate) wearing them out at one per year. Quality, durable, pricing, the center piece has never broken on any of the 4 pairs I have owned. This purchase # 5, will sit on my shelf til March as back up for next season. Thank you.
Very comfortable and provides nice cushioning for the feet.
These super comfy Flipflops are a perfect fit for my son. Definitely a rare find at a great price! Fast shipping!
