These flip flops are all I wear lately (I'm not working yet). After some bunionette development from spending a whole lot of days in ski boots this past season, I went to a podiatrist for custom orthotics, which are fine in
shoes, but I live in SoCal and hardly ever wear
shoes in the summer time. Seeking sufficient arch support, these were exactly for what I was looking. They are a bit pricey, but it's worth it to me knowing that I am taking care of my feet (and everything they affect). I wear an 8.5 so ordered both the 8 and the 9. I found that the 9 offered much better support (consistent with my size D in
Superfeet inserts) so kept those. They did take a little bit to break in, but now I love them and won't wear anything else. I'm sad that I won't be able to wear them to work when I start. :(
