HavaianasWomen's Core Flip Flops

These are definitely my favorite flip flops. I got a pair in Navy Blue a few years ago and absolutely loved them. Somewhere along the way I lost track of them and I've missed them ever since. Living in the heat of the South, I've gone through several pairs of flip flops over the years but never quite fell in love with any as much as these. Or if I did love a pair I would wear them so much they would break down and fall apart... some even developed funky odors rendering them unwearable.Admittedly it may seem a bit odd to be professing love for a pair of flip flops. In particularl these as they are fairly standard looking as far as flip flops go. But there's just something about the shape of this particular brand and model (the Top, not the Slim) that seems to flatter my foot more than any other flip flop. I can't explain it. Is it because I have wider than average feet? Anywho, aside from vanity they're just super comfy and their weight is ideal - not too heavy and bulky, but still of substance. They're also very convenient - good at the beach/pool/shower and they also have enough cushioning (for me at least) to do plenty of walking if I need to. Of course, as with any flip flop, I would not go hiking or do any activities that would require actual traction. They aren't as sturdy as, say, Rainbows, but honestly I far prefer the feel of rubber under my feet. I tend to find leather very drying. Still, though, they are sturdy enough and they seem to hold up to wear and tear with ease so I trust they will last quite a while, assuming one doesn't lose them.Thus, for the aforementioned reasons, I finally got myself another pair, again in Navy Blue a few months ago when they were on sale and I have not been disappointed. A note on sizing - I generally wear a women's size 8, on the nose. Apparently, after looking through my order history, when I ordered these the first time I got a size 39/40 (US 8/9). This time, for some unknown reason I ended up ordering a size 37/38 (US 7/8) and the fit feels perfectly fine to me. Maybe my feet have shrunk? Honestly I don't remember ever being dissatisfied with larger size, so my thinking is that the sizing might be rather flexible. If you prefer tighter fitting flops order down, if you prefer having plenty of flop behind your heel order up. But who knows, maybe I have weird feet.Oh, and for reference - in the picture of the flip flops next to a black slide on - the black slide on is size 8 & 1/2. I threw in the blue notebook for color reference. I suppose size 37/38 does just barely fit my foot, but that's the way I prefer it as I usually end up tripping over flip flops that are much longer. As long as my foot's not falling off the edge of the shoe I'm happy.EDIT August 2018: Still my favorite pair of flip flops and still going strong! These even went with me when I moved to Bangkok, Thailand and back. Must haves.EDIT December 30 2020: Still my favs. Have gone with me on a move from the (U.S.) South to the Pacific North West, and on trips between the two.

These are good, comfortable flip flops. I got them to leave by my front door to go outside quickly when I don't want to be barefoot. I live in Birkenstocks and have quite a few pair. I used to wear Havaianas about 10 years ago and they are still comfortable. I will say from reading the reviews, a few things. The white powder that you see on your rubber flip flops is a natural occurrence due to temperature change and humidity. It is called blooming. Rubber is natural and if you own Hunter boots, that happens to them as well. Its not mold. Also some people have noticed a change in the thinness or thickness of the straps. Amazon ships things that are sometimes not what we order as I'm sure we have all experienced that. The original Havaianas have a thicker strap and they have another version called Slim. So naturally the slimmer ones have a slimmer strap. I wear a European 39. Always. These say European 41/42 and there is no way that's correct. It also says 9/10 and 39/40. I ordered a pair 2 days ago that I received yesterday that said 7/8 would fit me best and they definitely did not. I ordered another pair immediately and got them quicker than I got the first pair and these are perfect. I don't know how they do their sizing but what I connect with on the correct size is the 39/40. Everything else doesn't add up for what I normally wear in Europen shoes. I hope this helps someone. I would say order a size up than Amazon recommended and if you get them with white stuff on them, it's natural. Just use a wee bit of oil, any kind, very lightly to wipe it off. Cheers!!

Good quality but I feel runs small. Size up if you buy. I will definitely buy again.

Great value and easy to wear at the beach or around town. Limited arch support but comfy.

I have not worn them a lot but I hope they are comfortable.

They are a perfect fit. No extra flop, just a perfect flip, flop with a comfortably snug fit. Two BIG Thumbs UP!!! I'm going to buy more!

Flip flops fit and look great.

They run short or small at first but then stretch perfectly. Good read on bottom. Last about a year.

Hasta el momento con otras de la marca que compré,todo bien,cómodas y buenos colores,y parece que van a durar bajo uso normal

El corte de la plantilla es unisex u hombre,las de mujer de ésta marca tienen una forma diferente,hasta el momenti todo bien con otras de la marca que compré,son cómodas

Buena calidad por el precio

Me encantaron. Suela firme pero acolchonada, el color azul es intenso y precioso. Excelente calidad y super cómodas. Las volvería a comprar!!

Simples, sencillas básicas cumplen con su función. Evitar tener los pies llenos de hongos.Consejo: pidan medio número más grande que su talla ya que son estrechas y puede que no se sientan cómodos con una suela tan reducida y si tienes pie ancho o problemas de arco ni pensarlo serán una pesadilla
