text: As people complain that these are somewhat narrow, I wanted to note that they are probably normal shoe width at the ball, which is slightly narrow for me in that there is not a smidgen of sole past the ball. I could not wear these if they were enclosed. Oddly the sole continues to expand and widen, so the widest part is alongside my big toe. Perhaps they'll consider a simple reshaping for the future. However, the remain my favorite flip flops, very cushy and comfortable between the toes.
