Kaiback - Men's Drifter Sport Flip Flops | Comfortable Durable Rubber and Heavy-Duty Tread

These are not your average slumming around the house flip flops, they actually provide support and have great grip, even when wet. I have only worn these 1 day, but it was the ultimate flip flop test day. I normally wear an 11 wide shoe, so I tried the 11/12 size. The back of my foot fits perfect, but there's a good 3/4" extra in front of my toes. They hold snug to my feet, hardly even "flop" much, so the extra on the toe isn't even noticeable when walking. I doubt the 10/11 would leave enough support for my heel. The first test was a 2 hour drive to the lake. Normally by this time the lack of support from flip flops will leave your heel sore to the point you just kick them off and drive barefoot, but these Kaibacks kept my feet in place, cushioned, and comfortable the whole way. The big test was launching the boat - most flip flops turn to snot rags with a couple drops of water and you will bust your tail. I walked into the water, stepped onto the trailer and hopped on the boat with sure footing all the way. Even underwater, the shoes stayed gripped solidly to my feet and gave sound footing to the ground and even the smooth painted trailer. All day, these things continued to impress me, on and off the boat, wet grass, sand, wet pavement, rocks, hills, steps... My only complaint at the end of the day is the front strap was starting to rub the skin between my toes raw. Granted, it was my first day in flip flops this year, so my feet are still tender from the winter, and I put about 3.5 miles on them in a day. The straps are definitely tougher than most, but hopefully that speaks to the long term durability. I'm betting as my feet toughen up into the summer and the straps break in, this won't be an issue.Bottom line: if you enjoy an outdoor active lifestyle, these are for you! I think I'm willing to try these on a kayak trip down the river, something I never thought a flip flop would survive!Update after 2 years and many miles: The middle strap on one side popped the other day and stretched to almost twice the original length, now I have to strain my toes to keep it from falling off. I was sad to toss them out, but I'm here ordering another pair today!

Well made and comfortable.Very durable

I don’t like this pair nearly as well as my first pair mostly because they aren’t as wide but do like the color and arch support

Let me start by saying I hate flip-flops. I have bought many throughout the years only to be disappointed on how they fit, how the feel, how they wear, how they slip, and that uncomfortable feeling between the toes. Hate them. But I buy them cause I go boating and to the beach often, and I dont like sandals, crocs, boat shoes, or anything else I have ever bought. In fact, I hate most summer style footwear.I read the reviews on these and decided to try them. I ordered mens 11 and 12, but what arrived was 10 and 12. One too small the other too big. Return and refund was easy and quick so I ordered an 11 again.The 11 is a true fit as I wear 11 usually. So off to the boat and the beach to try these I went. Like I said, I hate flip-flops.Until now and, about time.First, these are comfortable and provide great support. I am 52, 6 ft all, and 210 lbs. I walked all day in them, on the sand, on the dock, great support and no issues between the toe.Second, they grip. Anyone who is on a boat knows how important it is to wear non slip foot apparel. These arent listed as non slip which is a surprise, because they grip and grip very well.Lastly, the style and cost. They have a wide strap so they dont look like a womans flip flop. And the price I feel is reasonable all around. Now how long they will last will be my next question. But as of now, I am very happy with these.No. I was not paid to write a review, or anything of the sort. Just a regular guy writing this for general information.

Have ordered several pairs of these... will continue to get them. Better than shoes!

I quite liked the way these fit me. Sometimes these kinds of sandals can be difficult to slip into for me because the straps fall or the too piece is too narrow.While I prefer softer materials on my feet, these are what they say they are.I downgraded these for me because of the tread. I wear such sandals a lot of the year both inside and out. The tread on these are good for hiking, but it has the negative impact for me of carrying dirt into the house. The treads are too deep to wipe off on a door mat etc. I will only be able to use these in the dry seasons.

This my second pair, my dog chewed one of my other, otherwise wouldn't have needed another pair, excellent quality and comfort I have swelling, edema in my feet this are comfortable

A treat for my feet. I like these for in the house comfort. They have great tread for wet or slippery places. I am an older woman buying men's sizes as my feet sometimes swell and these work well for comfort. I have worn them for two years and wanted another pair. (The tread will pick up very small rocks.)
