GrandcoWomen's 25542E Expression Beaded Waterproof Molded Sole Beach Thong Sandals Platform, Navy, 9

First off, I'll say these are BEAUTIFUL shoes. I ordered them in the spring and have worn them for two months around the house. There are two major issues that keep them from being 5s, though. One is that when you first get them, you're going to feel like they're torture devices. Don't panic! Wear them around the house for a couple of days, on and off, and they will break in. That said...the second issue is that I've worn them extensively and they just aren't as comfortable as other flip-flops. They're also EXTREMELY noisy when you walk. The bottom of your foot rubs and makes a noise like a chair scraping across a floor every time you take a step. Strange, I know. For that reason, I'm already shopping for a COMFORTABLE pair of flip flops for our vacation, when I know I'm going to be on my feet all day. These will be for things like going out to dinner, when I know I'll be mostly seated!

I love the Grandco flip flops - unlike other flip flops, these provide just the right comfort (and normally, fit) for my feet. I can walk and walk in them and they never cause any foot/ankle/knee/hip issues. I was thrilled to find a NAVY BLUE pair - and the beading is just lovely! (Even more attractive than in the picture). This pair differs from my other three Grandco pairs, however: I have always ordered a size 9 (my normal size is 8.5) as they tend to run just a little small. This navy blue pair, though, is actually a bit large (or maybe truer to size). The instep is too loose (large), and because of this, they are not as comfy to walk in - I may give them to my daughter, who wears a 9.5.

I like the comfort and style. Size runs small (I wear 8, ordered 9). Purchased these in past from a store... This pair makes me question authenticity as the sole of sandal is coated with a plastic layer that wrinkles after wear. Pulled off plastic and company tag came off with plastic. My original pair purchased did not do this.

I buy these from a vendor in SC. and was able to learn in person that these run small.I wear a 9 1/2 and I have to buy some of these in a size 11.I wear flip flops a lot, and these are the only ones that can withstand going to the beach, yard working, getting wet, walking etc. all summer, spring and fall.With not being able to go to SC. this year I just decided to see if I could find them online.I'm so glad that I did, and was even able to find the same pair that I had!And, they fit just like the ones that I purchased in person.

These flip flops are quite pretty. They’re comfortable for relaxing and short walks. I don’t think they’re comfortable enough to walk a fair, festival, etc.. They sure are fun to look at though!

Toe portion fits to the shape of the foot. And a little wider than normal. All good since I have a wide foot. Shoe size is a 6. Bought a 7 and its perfect. Comfortable and real cute.

I have bought Grandco thongs for years. The first couple of pairs I bought lasted for several years. In the past couple of years I have ordered a half a dozen or more of them. The shoe either comes apart or the beads break after a few times of use. One instance I wore them for a couple of hours grocery shopping and the bead broke. Either they are using cheaper products or they just aren't what they used to be. Extremely disappointed

Love my Grandco sandals! I've said it before, but I'll say it repeatedly...these are my go-to sandals for summer! I ordered one pair last summer for my beach trip, and wore them every day I was there. The other shoes stayed in my suitcase! These are dressy to casual, and come in a variety of styles and colors to compliment your wardrobe. They are very durable, stylish and comfy as can be! I ordered a size 9, because I normally wear an 8.5. They fit perfectly! Don't debate it...just order the shoes! They are worth every penny!
