flip flops

[Dan Lorenze]

OluKai's are the only I'll wear now..current set is in their 3rd season and still cumfy. I wear them anytime weather permits, and even then I wear them sometimes.

X2 they have a nice arch to them that you can wear them daily.

For those looking for flip flops here is a good site I found. From what I have seen they look to have good prices. www.flipflopshops.com

I wear these daily also. Comfortable and they've lasted almost 2 years now.

the absolute best flip flop that i have worn for the past 4 years consistently are sanuks. the beer cozy sandal. most comfortable pair of sandals there are ... in my opinion. i have no interest in getting a different pair.

I don't want to sound like a know it all here but I'd wager I wear flip flops as much or more then Anyone on here.. Lol. Everyday for 10'ish years?

Wish I had a known that 2 days ago. Already ordered a pair. But if they are as good as my buddy says I may order a couple more while they are on sale

Everyone has a hard on for rainbows. Don't get it. Everyone says they suck at first. So for how long do they suck? I wear flips every day.

Two river trips. Male sure to keep them wet. They break in faster that way.

[Outdrive1]

Nord sells the Rainbows, so that's what I wear. I like to support the members and small businesses.

 

[Brian B]

Reefs. Wear them nearly every day of the year. Once every few days I wear them in the shower to clean them.....

 

[Wicky]

Olukai for flip flops and Keens for serious off road sandals.

 

[Brian B]

Also have Keens for cold winter days or fly fishing, rafting, high country river stuff....

 

[Flyinbowtie]

Shippingguy thanks for that link!

Which do guys think have the best support? It appears they are having a sale...we are going to PV at the end of Sept...great time for a new pair...

 

[River Cowboy]

I picked up some spenco flips at big 5 arch support and great fit
been wearing as often as I can they are great and showing no sign of wear

 

[HavasuHank]

does nord sell sanuks?

 

[Paul65k]

I have a pair of Reef's and a Pair of Oakleys... The Oakleys are my 1st choice!:thumbsup

Yup....the best....I've had most of them and these are the most comfortable of them all (to me).

 

[IN AWE]

When you guys are talking about the break in period on the Rainbows, what are we talking about? One month, three months, a year?

I have had a pair that I bought last summer and as far as I'm concerned they are not broke in yet. They suck ass, the straps are loose as hell but I also have a very narrow foot and that could be the problem. I want to like them, I just think they are not broke in yet. Hmmmm?

 

[SPL2K]

Teva and OluKai are the best in my opinion. Hate Reefs. Haven't tried Rainbows yet.

 

[IN AWE]

I don't want to sound like a know it all here but I'd wager I wear flip flops as much or more then Anyone on here.. Lol. Everyday for 10'ish years?

I also have bad feet..

Reefs and other "spongers" comfortable for a month then my feet hurt.
Rainbows. 3 months then feet hurt..

Sanuc's. Going on 4-5 months and my feet are just now starting to hurt.. Best flips I have ever owned. They also seem to support your heel.. Foot pain gone first day.

I have shit feet also Dave, which Sanuc's you be sportin'?

 

[Bobby V]

Flojos. Had them for years.

Tevas are fine when u get them on sale for less that $10. Otherwise you replace every 6 weeks. If your lucky.

 

[River911]

Olukai hands down

It takes about a month for me to break in a pair of rainbows. I wear my rainbows if Im not wearing my work boots. I love them but the one bad thing is when the tread wears out on the bottom from lots of use the sandal gets real slick. You better be careful walking on smooth floors that are wet. Ive done the accidental atomic knee drop at a bar one night. Knee hurt for weeks!

Here's an old question... any of you guys know where to find WIDE flip flops? I wear a 10.5 EEEE. No typo, 4E's. My little toe hangs off of every pair of flip flops I've ever owned.

So far, the Sanuks seem to be the widest, but still can't get my whole foot to stay on.

Don't even get me started on finding shoes that don't make me look like I should be in a retirement home.

Too slippery in water:thumbsdown

 

[Luvnlife]

I have Cobians right now, a couple pair. They are comfy but I'm going to check out some of the other brands named here.:thumbsup

 

[Bobby V]

Too slippery in water:thumbsdown

Maybe. But I don't usually wear them in water when I am at home in Yorba Linda.

 

[mariley85]

I quit weating flip flops all together a few years ago and started wearing these. 3 years strong and they only get more comfortable as the days go bye.

[franky]

For a strap on, Teva's hands down in and around water. Ask any white water guide. Sandles: Teva's, Reefs (without that disgusting opener). I wear sandles over 320 days a year and Teva's are my go to shoe.:champagne:.

 

[J.T.]

Just got my astrodecks in. Awesome customer serviced from the owners. (google herbie fletcher). And first impression of there sandals is. WOW AWESOME!!!!!! See how things are in a few months

Deck shoes rock!

 

[sirbob]

Still have my first pair. Will not wear another brand...

Ive been wearing the same pair for 2 years now with no problem and im pretty hard on them. I didnt get cheap ones though. They were $70-ish.

Regardless of brand name, im sure if you buy a $10 pair of flip flops, they will perform like $10 flip flops.

I have a 12 EEEE...great in the sand!

When I buy flops, I end up with 14s to get my foot on it.

Next time I get some Ducats I'm going to try the Sandalman in OC...used to work for rainbow...

I have weird feet..extra wide AND a high arch and instep. This means the inner strap is always loose.

The bestest sandal EVAR were some I bought in the late '70s at sears...high arch, super wide and they had a waffle stomper tread with the 45 degree outsoles...so the bottoms were 6" wide.

 

[ROC]

Do we know which ones are American made? Sorry, didn't read this entire thread

 

[Flyinbowtie]

Update on Flipflopshops.com order.

I got my OluKai's, and they are awesome.

However, the other two pair I ordered, (both of which were shown to be in stock and available for immediate shipping) have not shown. I've been getting emails every other day or so saying they, "haven't forgotten me".
I called their service number a couple of times asking why they showed them in stock if they were not,...no intelligent response.
I asked when they expected to ship.
"We don't know"
Went through the whole thing again just now.
Their customer service is in Asia, the rep, "Jonathan" I think...spoke poor English and was no help at all.
I cancelled the order.
Their website is down now.
I won't be shopping with them again.

 

[Lavy joe]

Reefs,I wearing these since 3 years and it is really comfortable and feel me comfortable while I am walking around beach sites.

 

[coz]

being from San Clemente, where we are required by law to wear sandals 365 days a year.....

If you're from San Clementine why aren't you supporting the locals? My friend Herbie and his family have been making nice flip flops for years there http://www.astrodeck.com/store/category/men/146_147.oa

Top Siders on sale at West Marine.

 

[500bbc]

I wear what ever wifey buys when mine wear out.
A friend gave me a pair of high end custom the best flip flops ever that he bought for my birthday at a surf shop. They turned my feet pitch black, a stain that would last for weeks. I left them on the deck at the river house one trip and some dumb ass stole them.

 

[TITTIES AND BEER]

Reefs, had the same pair for three years. I wear them at the river in the water all weekend. Bottle opener ones

those will tear the hell out the deck and seats in a boat ( trust me ) if they don't take them off before getting in

 

[ltbaney1]

rainbows:thumbup: only gripe is break in period and findind a pair that fit i have a foot like a duck 8 1/2 eee but when i find them i buy 2. they stain your feet sometimes when they get wet too.

 

[RiverDave]

FLIP FLOPS ?? I KNOW ITS BEEN TALKED ABOUT BEFORE but what have you guys found that lasts ?????

Sanucks hands down..

 

[Sleek-Jet]

I buy a new pair at Target every spring and throw them away in the fall.
