text: On the upside, these flip flops are pretty.  On the downside, they're made cheaply.  I guess I should have expected that given the price.  The sole is paper-thin. It's like walking on the floor.  There is no support at all. Plus, they run small. I suggest buying one size up.  Finally, and this is petty, they have a strong plastic/vinyl smell. I guess the smell would wear off in time.  I don't plan to keep them long enough to find out.
