I bought these hoping to use them for my trip to Thailand. After testing them out and walking around in them for a few hours, I got multiple blisters where the straps are. When I took them off, the bottom of my feet were coated in black residue from the flip flop, and the straps were too large for my feet so I kept slipping out of them. As some have noted, these are much heavier than you would expect from a flip flop. These are fine for a casual stroll, but I do not recommend using them for longer than that. Definitely not bringing these on my trip, but unfortunately since I had to wear them to test them out, I can't return them.
