Okabashi Men’s Eurosport Flip Flops - Sandals

Wonderful slip proof slippers with an ergonomic instep

Verified purchase: After reading sample size of all the reviews on this footwear, I found a mixed bag of opinions (meaning personal preferences).For my requirements which were for a heavy duty pair of slides in black. I’m outside 24 hours a day in the summertime around my land. So required a rugged pair of slides, which breathed.These slide have hit the mark for me thus far. I was, and I continue to be very satisfied with the purchase. I read several reviews concerning the sizing that they actually deliver, it is true that the slides are not sized “visually imprint” by inches at all per se, but by the large “L” on the sole indicating “Large”. So just to verify what other reviewers have indicated the size is actually distributed by category (S,M,L, XL etc.), not at all by Inches (sizes)...and so as to share with the community I ordered the size 8.5 to 9 and and the fit was more than adequate...and so you understand further, I were a size 9 truly.This information will hopefully offer a point of reference for future consumers.In addition, the soles are thick and quite durable. There are plenty of air inlets cuts in the design of the flap that covers’ the top of the foot. The design is extremely helpful and purposefulness as the cuts permit the skin to breathe more, rather than all covered in the rubbery material which the slides are primarily composed of.Understanding that if you are completely switching brand and style or design in slides that you currently using or were using, that these may perhaps some getting use too. It’s just different and difference or change is not a so-called bad thing. It’s just different. Personal choice.

I've tried a lot of these type of sandals looking for support and comfort. When I took these out of the package I was concerned that they felt a little heavy in my hands. But the moment I tried them on I was pleased. Great arch support and a little textured area under the ball of the foot really makes them stay in place and also gives more support. They do run a little bit wide, but that works well for me. I plan to order another pair.

This is a new pair to replace the ones I have been wearing for 7-8 years. It's an LL size (9-10). I wear a 10 and a half and it fits fine. It seems that the sole is a bit "flatter" than my older pair. That is, the cushioning feeling is lacking, and it seems to have less bounce. I compared them, and they seem to be about the same thickness. However, they are still comfortable and hopefully as durable as my old pair.

It takes me four or five years to wear out a pair, when the toe straps start to separate from the toes. I wear them whenever I go without shoes at home, (If you saw my house, you’d understand). Also in the shower at the gym and when traveling. I’ll keep buying them as I havent found anything I like better.I get the extra large size somthat my size 10 feet will go in easily.

These are my favorite!

These relatively low-cost all-plastic sandals are great for working in my yard or going to the beach. Easy to wash off & don't deteriorate with use. They float! If you hate thong-type flip flops, these sandals are perfect for casual wear.

The Okabashi Men’s Eurosport Flip Flops - Sandals get a mixed review after the first day. I wanted something washable, durable, comfortable, and protective from penetration by sharp objects-glass, nails- in case I wear them to the beach or gym. I have been wearing Flojos brand for about a year, and they started getting frayed where there is fabric, and also absorbing foot odors that wouldn't wash out. Had to make a change, the Flojos are done and smelly. So I am trying these Okabashis for price, quality of manufacture [US made], fit, comfort, durability, protection, odor resistance, safety [stay on my feet, don't slip around], and so far they meet most of my expectations, but with two exceptions. The first is size. I wear an 8.5 US men's shoe, so the chart told me to get a Large Flip Flop. They fit but just barely. So a bit tight, like others said, recommend you get the next size up from their chart. The second issue I am having is comfort. With due respect to reflexology and foot massage, I really don't need my flip flops to massage my feet, particularly when it involves annoying little bumps in the arch and plantar regions of my feet. I think those bumps are supposed to promote circulation and function like little masseuses when you walk, however, I have found them to be annoying and distracting. Realistically, when I put on a pair of flip flops, I don't want to have to keep thinking about them constantly. Like, "When will I start getting used to these little bumps on my flip flops ? " "Will the benefits outweigh the annoyance before I decide to return them ?", or "Hmmm, I think should spend the next half hour writing about these flip flops". In the past flip flops were these rubber things that you bought for a few dollars and wore to the shower, beach, or swimming pool. The problem with old school flip flops was like Jimmy Buffet said in "Margaritaville", you would all the time blow out your flip flops and have the rubber strap dangling, incapable of secure re-insertion to restore functionality of your flip flops. So you went out and paid another two bucks at KMart and got a new pair. The other problem with old school flip flops was safety. I mean, if you got a little soap on them, you were going down, along with getting a herniated disk from the sudden slide. Like stepping on a banana peel. Another safety factor with the old school flip flops was, only God could help you if you accidentally stepped on a nail. I mean, right into your foot, regardless of thumb tack, or roofing nail, time for a trip to the ER for a tetanus shot. So these Okabashi flip flops are good for support, safety, odor resistance, and durability. They look very well made, and they should eliminate my concerns about slipping and sliding, stepping on nails, becoming stinky. The price point is very good, especially for a US made product. I wouldn't hesitate to wear them to the beach or at the pool & shower in my gym. I suppose over time, I will get used to the annoying little bumps designed to promote healthier feet. Maybe I should start sleeping on a bed of nails to improve the health of my back. Just kidding. But if you get these, you have been put on notice, you may spend more time thinking about your flip flops then in the past, because gone are the days of the $2 flip flop from KMart. These are a big improvement, just a bit annoying.

Comfortable flip flops

back strap would have been nice to help keep your foot in place.love the thickness and colour

Made in U.S. that’s rare. Buy these$ you won’t be disappointed. Nice arch support for my extra high arch. That’s hard to find in this style
