Okabashi Men’s Surf Flip Flops - Sandals

Solid flops, stiff and not too comfortable. BUT these are gonna last a long time and not stretch. I wear flops all summer long here in Mississippi and I love these so far. If you want "foamy" feeling flops - keep looking. These are hard-core and I'm loving them. Best part about them... USA MADE! UPDATE: After wearing these and breaking them in - LOVE them totally. Solid and great fit. Again, these are not those cushiony, soft, walk on cloud type. My favorite pair so far!

I cannot stress enough to anyone who reads this that these flip flops are the best you will find anywhere. They are completely made of a rubber material, all one piece, but they are STRONG -my last pair lasted me 10 years! And that last pair didn't rip up all the hell like most cheap flip flops. They began to tear little by little so you have plenty of time to order another and you won't have an accident also like with those other cheap ones. I've actually seen people break fibulas and toes when they were wearing the cheap flip flops you buy at the market! You won't have that worry with these. At first they feel strange because they are not flat and unsoppurtive, as they have a very high arch support, which is a GOOD thing folks! Your feet should never be so unsoppurtive and flat when you're walking around. Personally I LOVED the fact that my arches were so well supported. They felt real cozy and was like wearing a couple if masseuses on my feet. lol You literally don't want to take them off! I'm serious, if you have a low arch or suffer from foot problems due to arches, then you won't want to wear anything to else once you wear these babies. They also have these little bumps that, again, will feel strange at first, but thy will feel fantastic as you wear them for a few hours, because these little bumps are designed to massage your soles and it does feel great. I mean, try them out. Don't believe me..20 bucks isn't a big deal, but you'll thank me. Hehe :)

I’m a dedicated Okabashi buyer so I bought these for my husband. All of their products run a tad bit big so size down if you are not at the top of your size. He wished I had gotten a size smaller but chose to keep them because of how comfortable they are. They are like wearing an orthopedic support. They are amazing for rocky and sandy surfaces. The quality will never wear out you will have them for life! They look great and will allow you to walk, hike, stick to any surface. I own dozens of pairs and styles and I will get him a smaller pair next summer.

Purchased my first pair of Okabashi's at a local pharmacy on impulse 3-4 years ago, not thinking much of it. I mostly used it for showering at gyms because they seemed to offer great grip. It was the non-thong style and is holding up so well I bought another pair, but this time the thong-type. The only con is that they are a little heavier than most slippers and they take quite some time to break-in. They are not as soft and supple as a pair of Scott's on first fitting, but Okabashi's last long, offer better arch support, have a lot of grip for the price, and after they break-in the rubber compound softens up and turns into an great slipper especially for the price. Would recommend and buy again.

It took me a little while to get used to these sandals, but I have become a huge fan ever since. I was a Teva Mush II guy for the longest time, but the Teva's have at least two fatal flaws: 1) they stink, badly, after regular wear, and 2) the soles fall apart after not very long. These sandals NEVER SMELL. Seriously. Whatever chemical formulation they use to make these is incredible because they smell exactly the same way they did when I first bought them, over a year later. And I wear them every day for hours a day. And these sandals are COMFORTABLE! You should be aware that there is a break in period where they may not feel the most comfortable. But once they're broken in they are just fantastic feeling. Bravo!

I like how these fit on my feet however very disappointed that the material split within 3 months after occasional use indoors only. I expected them to last at least a few years. Won’t purchase this brand again. Update Aug 31,2026 - Changing rating from 1 to 4 stars because I contacted manufacturer direct and they are sending me a free replacement pair of sandals. Okoboshi offers a 2 year warranty which they honored after sending them proof of purchase and pic of broken sandal. Thank you Okoboshi for honoring your warranty promise! Fingers crossed the replacement sandals last longer this time.

Size is too small, bit to heavy for my taste. If I didn't wear it for few minutes, I would have return it. At the same time I noticed it's quality product, not some cheap flip flop, so it's worth the money in my opinion but size and weight are a problem.

For the money I think these are hard to beat. They are priced in the same range as a cheap pair of Walmart sandals while being vastly superior in quality. (And you are supporting fair wage paid American workers instead of Chinese slave labor) I have owned several pairs of flip flops and these by far seem the most durable. The arch support is absolutely amazing. They aren’t quite as comfortable as a nice pair of leather/cloth sandals, nor should they be expected to be because of the material choice they employ. They will however be much more durable and easier to clean than leather/cloth. I can’t stand the nasty black footprint image that develops on a pair of sandals after a few uses. It looks gross and obviously harbors all sorts of filth in the pores of the material. These won’t have that problem. They should also hold their shape for the life of the product wearing down and going flat like most leather sandals. I really like the little bumps that stick up and sort of massage your feet as you walk. I read a lot of reviews that talked about how heavy they are. I ordered size XL (10.5-11.5) and they weighed 12.3 oz each. For comparison my other pair of leather/cloth/rubber flip flops seen in the photo weigh 8 oz each. While the extra weight is easily noticed when in the hand, once you actually have them on your feet walking around the added weight disappears. I will gladly accept an extra 4 oz for the superior durability and 2 year warranty. As stated above I ordered the XL (10.5-11.5) I normally wear a 10.5-11 shoe and these fit me perfectly. They measure exactly 11.66” from tip to tip. I searched for awhile for made in USA flip flops that would be comfortable and durable and these nailed it!

I bought this same model about ten years ago on a whim from a local pharmacy. The rubber is dense and comfortable to wear. There is a slight texture so your feet don't slide around too much, even when wet. I've worn these camping, beach, walking, etc. and they held up nicely. The logo part near the heel did shrink a little bit after being exposed to the hot sun on multiple occasions, but never interfered with that comfort. Unfortunately, I lost one of mine crossing some rapids and was unable to find it again. This is my second pair and have been equally happy with them. I swear they'll last for life!

Diverである自分は、耐久性の高いというこのサンダルに惹かれました。 結果は大満足です。最初はキツく感じるかもしれませんが、使うたびに足に馴染んできてラクチンです。 また、過酷なScubaDivingの場面でもまったく破損せず、揺れるボートの上でも確かなグリップ力がありました。 タウンユースでも、長時間歩かない限り使い回せます。

Bought these to see if they would help relieve heel pain over time. So far so good, using this flip flop, and other measures. The flip flop itself is comfy once you get used to it. The initial impression is a relatively hard inflexible surface. I'm a size 10 in the UK, this was a size 11 and it fitted ok.
