I've been wearing Rainbows and I really like them but they don't seem to be very durable. Havent had a pair last longer than a year yet and Ive had at least 4. I know they have a warranty but they're very picky about what they'll fix.

Anyways just want a flip flop, none of this sandal bullshite

There aren't better flip-flops than rainbows. How do you destroy them in a year? You playing basketball in them or something?

Reefs are just as good as rainbows and about $15 cheaper

Hmm......never thought reefs were as comfortable as rainbows but I'll try some. Where can I find some good ones not in Oxford?


And to answer an earlier question what has broke with all of them is the thong gets pulled through the hole in the leather part

They do but only if all three layers on the bottom of the flop are still completely intact which never happens and you have to box them up and pay to ship them back to them which ends up costin about $10. I just assume pay for a different brand that will last than pay $10 to get these back that will end up breaking again anyways

I really like Sperry flip flops.

They're pretty durable from my experiences.

Sorry homes. Rainbows are the best I've come across. Lasted me over three years. Then again I only wear them in appropriate places. I.e. The pool or beach.

I was a lifelong Rainbow flip flop guy and then last year I got a pair of Sanika that changed my life. They are like walking on air.

Yeah I pretty much wear them all summer long, granted now that I'm graduated from college and in the real world likely won't wear them as much this summer

Sanuk makes a great flip-flop. I swear by all their shoes, but particularly their flip-flops.

I wear flip-flops almost daily by the way, so trust me on this.

Seriously, I've had 2 pairs in 10 years and I wear them 8 months out of the year.

I wear the Vagabonds the other 4 months.

Spenco, best I've found. Designed so The heel stays with the foot throughout the step. Bought mine at a running store , they make insoles for shoes and medical .
