It took weeks to break these flip flops in.  When I first wore them, I went for a walk to break them in and they tore into the tops of my feet.  Wore bandaids on my feet for the rest of the week.  Three months later, I still have the scars on my feet where the thick hard canvas of the flips had cut into my them.  I can wear the flip flops now because the canvas has softened up, but they are not worth what I went through to get them this way.
