Excellent slides! Very stylish, good arch support, and just all around comfortable. They do have a very tight fit, which I personally like, although some may not. True to size, just a great sandal. And as always, phenomenal service from Zappos. Upgraded my shipping free of charge and received my package within 2 days of my purchase.

I've been impressed most with the overall "fit & finish" and the durability over the last six weeks or so. Not listing that they felt tight, because that was easily overcome within wearing them the first week. Would purchase them again.

These are very nice slides. I purchased a pair of these about 10 years ago. They lasted about 7 years being worn most every day. They are very durable and stylish.

Thought it was a great buy. Hard to find a decent pair of sandals anymore. And for the price, can't go wrong compared to skate shops where they run much more expensive.

The Grappler is a great sandal. Its sold in whole sizes and if you are normally in a half size then go up. They have a but of stretch in the band which helps keep the sandal on after you get you foot in there good. Very comfortable. Only problem is if you don't push you foot in the good enough the arch fall in the wrong spot and can cause discomfort.

Okay, I bought an 11 since I wear a 10.5 but it felt too big. Exchanged them for a size 10, and they felt too small. I ended returning them.

I normally wear a 10.5 shoe, so I bought a size 10 and size 11 to see which fit better. The 10 were too small and the 11 were too big. The size 11 felt comfortable with a pair of socks on but I don't wear socks with sandals. I ended up returning both pairs. They were very stylish. I wanted to like them but the sizing was off. One thing I probably might not have liked about them was that if my foot was wet it made a sticky peel off sound when I walked.

These flops are great. They are exactly what I was looking for and super comfortable. They were shipped quickly (and free).

I really like these. But if you order, I ordered a full size up. Normally a 39 fits me great, but these are a 40 and they're very comfortable. I wouldn't call them uncomfortable, but they're no Danskos, which I would rate a 5 on comfort.
