My daughter and I both bought these flip flops and honestly, for the money, they're a ripoff. Yes, they're cushy yoga mat material, like the stuff found in some loaves of breads, still. But the fit sucks. They are very wide, and the thong is raised up too high and loose to comfortably keep them on. And if you want to walk 12 blocks in the city and have feet that survive, don't put these on. Get some Keens, Chacos, Tevas, Merrills, or other river type sandals. These are fine at the pool, or for relaxing around the house, though house slipper would be more useful and more comfortable.
