Ipanema Women's Maya

I will be backpacking in Thailand in a few weeks and Europe in the early fall. I have been stressing out over what shoes to bring as I am very limited on space. I struggled, gave in and forced myself to buy a clunky pair of Birkenstock sandals for hiking and touring. I knew I also needed a pair of slip on flip/flop beach shoes. This kills two birds in one stone...they are my slip on flip flops and also will be PERFECT for day or nighttime when I slip on a sundress and want to feel more feminine and stylish than the cluck Birks. However, they take up virtually no room and are incredibly light being that they are all made of rubber. It feels like you are wearing nothing and yet are very very sturdy. These are perfect and you will not need another pair of sandals for anything. I am a true 7.5 and ordered the 7 and they are JUST long enough...if you are on the fence I would go up a size...the strap is adjustable anyway. Once adjusted you do not need to undo it each time,..very easy to slip on since the material is so stretch. I ordered the "brown" but just as the picture shoes that are a true perfect nude color. I am not about to order the solid black because i love them so much. Never need another sandal, as I said. I never write reviews, but I am SO excited about these that I had to share. Get them, you will not regret it.

I bought these sandals for an upcoming trip to Europe. I think they will be good for light walking and can be dressed up or down. I've worn them several times since I got them to try and "break them in" and they are comfortable. Feel good on the bottoms of my feet and I think I'll be able to wear them walking around on my trip all day with no problems. Two small complaints: they are a little squeaky. I realize they're made of a rubber like material but I didn't think about the fact they could be squeaky until Id already worn them. Its not terribly loud though so I'm ok with it. Also, the bit that goes between your toes presses a little on my left foot and is a little annoying. Hoping the more I wear them the less it will bother me. I usually wear a size 6-6.5 and the 6 in these fits well though it is on the tightest notch so hopefully they won't stretch too bad. All in all, for the price Im pleased with them.

So I love the design of the sandals and they are pretty comfortable. I have not worn them for a long period of time yet. The reason i'm giving 3 stars is because I initially ordered the white & gold and when it arrived there was a large scratch on the top of the sandal, when trying to do an exchange the gold was no longer available so i opted for the bronze. The bronze ones were delivered very soon, however there was a mark on them--- not a scratch but it looked like dirt? a small spec of something. So i tried to clean it off. I used alcohol and some of the shine of the color came right off. I'm not super surprised that it happened, I mean they are just flip flops. Too lazy to return it and kinda of wondering if the third pair would have a different/same issue. But it is frustrating that both times upon arrival there was a mark or something wrong with the sandals.I will do an update review though on the comfort, maybe it'll bump up to a 4 star. I'm going to do traveling in south east asia and wanted a comfortable "fashionable" sandal for easy change from day to night. I'm really really hoping they hold up well for the long haul.

These sandals are THE BEST SANDALS I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY WHOLE 18 YEARS OF LIFE. I went on spring break in Florida this week with my best friend and we went to Disney World. We were walking around the entire park from 10am to 11:30pm. Throughout the whole day, I had no signs of blisters and was completely comfortable in them. No slipping, no rubbing, no nothing. I honestly have nothing bad to say about these.I got the black pair, and they go with everything. And I do have a beach wedding to go to in August, so these will go with anything and still look great. They don't look cheap or like rubber on the top, so there is no need to worry about that. The sizing runs a half size small, so if you have size 8 1/2 then shoot for the 9. I can't see myself having any issues with these in the future besides the fact that I'm going to want to wear them until they are dead and will have to buy every single pair.Bottom line: They look great. They feel great. They are FANTASTIC.

I searched and searched for a sandal to take to Europe this spring. I read the reviews for these shoes. They are right. I wore these on walking tours day after day in France and Spain for 2 1/2 weeks. After several days, I did have to put a band-aid between my big toe and next toe (on both feet) for about a week. Then my feet got used to them. I have worn them at home since then. I love them. It was great when raining too. Rubber shoes are great when wet. I never slipped. I could wash these shoes in the tub. My feet were pretty dirty after walking for hours around the cities, but they did not hurt. I would just wash the shoes, and my feet. Very happy feet! I can't wait to take them to the beach and on the boat.

I live in Africa and walk on unpaved roads all the time. I'd like to wear something dressy now and then but I don't want the discomfort and impracticality of walking around in high heels so I decided to get these dressy flops. I had a friend in Vietnam who owned the pair so I knew how it would fit me. I'm a size 7 US, my feet are neither too slim or too wide but this model is a bit loose on top and it doesn't have as much support for my arch as I would like. However, like I said, I got these to wear when I want something dressy so I'm not going to walk long distances with it.

Perfect summer sandal. I wasn't sure if I was going to like these and I expected the rubber to be uncomfortable, but I really needed a sandal for an event and these were a good price so I ordered them in gold. Surprisingly they are super comfortable! The rubber bottom is really cushion-y and you don't get that hard feeling from the ground when you step. They also fit your foot just right, not too narrow or wide and they have plenty of room up top for longer toes (i'm a size 10). The rubber doesn't get slippery or make my feet sweaty and most importantly they don't rub against my foot anywhere to give blisters or sore spots. I was so happy with my gold ones, I ordered them in teal too!
