Ordered these with great excitement. I was thrilled to have found a flip flop that would support my problem feet. I have learned over the years the power and effectiveness of good solid support in shoes. However, my excitement turned slowly remorse. Right out of the box, I noticed the straps seemed way too loose. The flip flops were the absolute correct size and even the correct width. For whatever reason, the straps were way too loose. I'm not talking about a personal preference here...as in, perhaps I just like the straps to fit really snugly. No, these straps were so loose as to render the flops almost, but not quite unwearable. Oh how I wish I had not worn them. I shrugged it off and tried to wear them anyway, as I was on vacation. I wore them for the better part of two days before I noticed serious pain. I have problem feet and am no stranger to experiencing foot pain. However, this pain was located in a foot and a spot (ball of foot) where I don't normally experience pain. For this reason, I attribute the flip flops and the likely culprit. This was actually so bad (my toe and ball of foot were very swollen) that I could not wear shoes of any kind for several days. I don't want to completely slam the shoes or Vionic, because obviously, for whatever reason, these did not fit me correctly. I must say though, that having gotten the correct size and width, it seems to me this is a design or manufacturing problem. I've seen other reviewers say the straps on these are way too loose, as well. So, heed the reviewer warning! The straps on these particular flip flops are indeed, extremely loose. I returned them through amazon without any problems and am now searching for another brand of flip flop. I really wanted to like these. They seem very well made in every way, save the length of the straps. Unfortunately, when it comes to flip flops, the straps are an essential part of the fit.
