A GREAT FLIP FLOP
FLIP FLOP COMPARISONS:OLUKAI OHANA THE BEST OVERALWITH THE "CROCS MODI" - THE MOST BANG FOR THE $.In my efforts to find a GREAT Flip Flop (and attempt improvement on my Crocs MODI's I did a LOT of reading, Flip Flop reviews on the internet. The first decent Flip Flops I bought was a pair of Crocs MODI Flips, that were on sale at my local sporting goods store..... I LOVED THEM !! My only concern was that they might not be as sturdy (or long-lasting) as a Super Expensive, well made pair. So, of course, I had to do more research and try to find THE BEST Flip Flops made. Finally (after much review reading) I settled on three.I have now worn all three for about 3 weeks. I cannot attest to durability after only 3 weeks but I can give my impression of what their durability might be. The features I was looking for were: Contoured Foot Bed, Arch Support, Comfort, Cushiness & Sole flex, Quality of Workmanship, Staying on During Activities, Running true to Size and Impression of Durability.FYI - I normally wear a size 10.5 med. shoe.The three Flip Flops I tried were:Croc's MODI $ - Size 11 MOluKai Ohana $$$ - Size 11 M They were a bit loose so I exchanged them for a size 10 M. (However, that was a mistake when the Foot Bed proved to be too small).Vionic Harbor $$ - Size 11 M (with the Velcro adjustment strap.)Let me say that on a scale of 0 to 5; with 0 being unacceptable and 5 exceeding my expectations, all three of the Flips I bought scored very high.CONTOURED FOOTBED:Croc's MODI - 5, very nice contoured foot bed and heel.OluKai Ohana - 5, very nice contoured foot bed and heel.Vionic Harbor - 5, very nice contoured foot bed and heel.ARCH SUPORT:Croc's MODI - 5, very good arch support, positioned where it should be. not too high or too low.OluKai Ohana- 5, very good arch support, positioned where it should be. not too high or too low.Vionic Harbor- 5, very good arch support, positioned where it should be. not too high or too low.COMFORT:Croc's MODI - 5, very comfortable. The toe post is fairly comfortable.OluKai Ohana - 5, very comfortable. The toe post is a DREAM.Vionic Harbor - 3+, pretty comfortable, may take a little getting used to, or breaking in. The toe post was the most irritating of the three - Hoping that will get better with time.. The Velcro adjustment strap did not cause any discomfort. NOTE: After wearing them for 3 weeks, I simply couldn't take the irritation of the R. toe post. Had to send them back. Too bad, they appeared to be exactly what I wanted.CUSHINESS & SOLE FLEX:Croc's MODI - 4+, pretty cushy, when walking. Sole is flexible, but not mushy.OluKai Ohana - 5+, Simply THE BEST, a wonderful cushy walk. (Not too soft, not too hard.) Slightly flexible Sole - Just the right amount of flex.Vionic Harbor - 3++, a little stiffer than the other two but QUITE acceptable. Sole is the stiffest of the three but still somewhat flexible.QUALITY OF WORKMANSHIP:Croc's MODI - 5, a well made, well designed Flip Flop.OluKai Ohana - 5+, SUPERBLY designed and well made.Vionic Harbor - 5, Excellent design and workmanship.STAYING ON DURING ACTIVITIES:Croc's MODI - 5+, SIMPLY THE BEST! Stays securely on my feet during all activities.OluKai Ohana - 4, A bit loose, Staying securely in place? Takes some getting used to (I tried buying one size smaller - fit better but, then, the foot bed was too small).Vionic Harbor - 4, the Velcro adjustment strap helps it fit snugly. (no need for smaller size.)RUNS TRUE TO SIZE:Croc's MODI - 5, EXCELLENT !! Spot on! The size 11 M, fits my size 10.5 M foot perfectly.OluKai Ohana - 4, Fit PERFECTLY, except I found them to be a bit loose. (Tried correcting - by exchanging for a size smaller - Didn't work, foot bed was then too small).Vionic Harbor - 5, Excellent !! Again the Velcro adjustment makes up for any minor fit deviations.IMPRESSION OF DURABILITY:Croc's MODI - 4, the rather soft sole, looks as if it might wear out. But for the VERY REASONABLE PRICE - you could simply replace themOluKai Ohana - 5+, these Flips look like they would outlast me. After 3 weeks of wearing them constantly there is absolutely no signs of wear.Vionic Harbor - 5+, a very well-made Flip. Also looks like they will last many seasons.

Olukai Ohana vs NuuSol Sandals
I was looking for an ocean/salt resistant sandal that had good arch support and comfortable, style, nonskid outsole and durability. This sandal checks the first three boxes, but I was concerned about durability and longevity with the foot straps not sealed to the insole area.I also purchased the Nuusol sandal and wore both sandals inside for two days to compare.This sandal checked all boxes, (except style) and is half the weight and price. It’s one piece molded construction is a must on the beach, in the locker room or on the boat. However, it felt similar to wearing Croc’s and my feet sweat.Bottom line…both had their qualities and with someone who suffers with Plantar Fasciitis I kept both.

Worth the extra cash!
A couple of things to know: 1) SIZE UP! I'm a size 11 medium width shoe and I ordered a 12 medium here. They fit well but if I were to order again I'd go with a 12 and a half in order to have just a tad more room for my heel. I have average length toes with my second toe being just slightly shorter than my big toe. My feet are wide in the toe box but pretty much medium otherwise and my arches have fallen slightly at age 62. There is plenty of extra room past the strap for those of you with a longer second toe, but I'd say IF YOU HAVE LONG TOES in general, you will likely need to SIZE UP 2 sizes. Then my feet are of an average height and the strap fits maybe a little tight, but it is quit soft and comfortable. And I will likely appreciate that tad of tightness as they break in. So if your feet trend high from the floor, you also may want to consider going 2 sizes up. The arch support and overall shaping of the sole is perfect for my feet at 1 size up. Thus overall, this 12 medium flip flop fits my size 11 but a little wider than medium foot, quite well.2) The picture of these flip flops looks to to me to show them with a leather sole. Know that they ARE NOT leather soles. They are some kind of "rubbery" hybrid and they are VERY NICE. Firm, but nicely cusioned. And they have just the right amount of "stick" to my feet, neither rubbing back and forth or feeling slippery even when wet. I have had them out in the rain and these flip flops do great. The bottoms provide "Wow!" good traction.They are of course, pricey. But so far, man, these are cool. I think it's going to be hard to go back to anything less when these wear out, and they appear to be put together to last for years. So... careful to get the right size, it'd be wise to get these under the return policy in case you don't, and I believe, you'll be crazy about these flip flops and glad you spent the extra cash.

These are the most comfortable pair of flip- flop i ever had on my feet.s
The arch support is fantastic. After wearing them for about a week, the arch support conformed to the shape of arch c r eating a great snung fit. They r great for any kind of weather or water. They don't slip on and wet pavement or floors. When i wear them to the beach ican just spray them off and they r dry in seconds I wear them everyday.

Strong slippers
I would normally never spend this much money on slippers. Maximum was about $20. However I have a friend who is a doctor and he was raving about this slippers. Said it was well worth the cost. Said what the hell and went for it. I have been very pleased with the slippers. Very strong. Comfortable. Durable. Love it.
