The black sliders were actually for my son after already buying a pair of flip flops & sliders for myself. I live in flip flops apart from a few winter months. Unfortunately I have developed a stiff big toe so was unsure of buying the flip flops. I shouldn’t have worried as they are fantastic & I am actually getting less trouble with my toe since wearing them. I decided to try a pair of sliders for my holidays and they have turned out to be just as fantastic. No aching feet & smart enough to wear out to eat. I chose Taupe for both & hope to add pink next time.I am generally a 5 & chose 5-5.5 which fit perfect. Having read the instructions I was ready for the strangeness of the arch support but it really only took a couple of days to bed them in & I never take them off.

I have never owned a pair of slides. I recently broke my big toe and injured my whole foot so wearing shoes for the first couple of weeks was a no-go. I was told by my ortho specialist to start wearing shoes that are supportive of the whole foot. As my toe is still healing the thought of anything covering the toe was out of the question so I thought I'd buy some slides. These have been the best buy! They are so comfortable and take the strain off the rest of my foot whilst it's recovering. It has improved my gait and my natural pronation, plus they ease the discomfort of a small bunion. They look great too, very happy with the colour. I will be buying the thongs next as I am hooked on their supportive comfort. Great buy, very happy and would highly recommend.

I was pleased when these slides arrived only 2 days after ordering them. It was difficult deciding between black and taupe but gave taupe a try and it is just as advertised. They are comfortable with no need fo break in. I have spent a bit of time here and there stretching the band a bit as I have wide feet a very high arches (so with styles like this it is not unusual to sometimes be a bit more tight there). I think I prefer this slide style compared to the other toe post flip flip - they seem to hug my feet better with the thick cross bands. I would give them five stars but for some reason my right foot still does not have the same level of great comfort as the left one in these. It may be because of my very high arches problem - I need as much arch support as I ... MoreI was pleased when these slides arrived only 2 days after ordering them.

It may be because of my very high arches problem - I need as much arch support as I can get and my right foot is the one that usually suffers more from plantar fasciitis. I see that some reviewers think the arch support is too high, but for feet like mine it is the opposite and could be higher. It would be great to have 2 options with one offering higher arch support. I want to be able to wear these out and about more on hot summer days (just like in the ads for these!), not just in the house, garden and gym pool side or beach. The sole appears thicker than the flip flops which I think helps give more support. Overall I'm pleased with the purchase and aim to try them out for longer walks but will have trainers with my insoles in my bag in case they're needed.
