Nope - they are super comfy and don't rub at all. I can walk for hours in mine without any problems and I also like that the sole is thick enough so that you don't feel every lump and bump on the ground.

Some people think they are a bit pricy but I have had mine since 2006 and they are still going strong and have been worn a lot. I think I would have spent more in the long run if I had bought cheaper flip flops. Also, the sole doesn't compress where your feet sit, or curl up like cheap ones do.

HTH!

You need to rub Vaseline on the bits that are chaffing. This works on.p any shoes or straps.

Nope Grin
I'm wearing mine that I bought in Oz 6 years ago. Never hurt me and look as good as the day I bought them.

Aw brilliant thank you. I just ordered them in gold then wished I'd posted here before I'd ordered. I got the slim ones - I don't suppose that will make any difference will it?

I normally have v tough feet, but do get a bit of rubbings from my havs after a couple of hours. But I suspect by the end of the summer my feet will have toughened up and I won't get it any more.

Nope they are ace.

Fit Flops do but once broken in are bliss (if a bit naff but I'm beyond caring).

They're a lot more comfy than any other flip flops I've owned. If I wear them all day and it's hot (sweaty) they rub a bit but usually they're great.

Mine rub as they go over the arch but not between the toes. I do have daftly high arches though.

Yes and I've had the worst cracked heels in my 41 years since wearing them. Have relegated them to slippers now and back to my trusty fitflops.

I picked up a gold pair from Cloggs the other day. For some bizarre reason it still applied an old MN code MN15 so they were 18 quid with free delivery and returns. :)

The normal ones are great. Sadly I don't rate the slims at all. Neither does my friend Hmm

I'm currently a big fan of ipanema flip flops. They are soooo comfy.
