"I was so excited for these flip flops. I researched for weeks trying to find the perfect pair. Unfortunately, these were not at all what I expected. Immediately, they hurt my feet where the straps are. I have never experienced this in a flip flop. I figured I just needed to break them in. Wrong. I tried just to walk up the street a few blocks and back, and my feet hurt so badly when I got back, it hurt to walk even barefoot on plush carpeting. $5 flip flops have never bothered me this much. Still determined to break them in, I tried them once more in a setting that wouldn't require much walking. It started to rain, but I was confident. After all, these shoes were touted as being waterproof, so I thought for sure my feet wouldn't slide all around and forward on the wet shoe. I was wrong. The footbed remained wet for just as long as cheap flip flops do. Disappointing all around, and not at all worth the money."
