text: I bought these flip flops based on Amazon reviews, but my experience certainly does not match that of the majority of owners.  Having owned them for months, they offer poor stability with my heel slipping side to side out of the &#34;confines&#34; of the shoe.  Further, one cannot easily slip on a pair.  You have to manually help with your hands getting them on. I have owned other cheap  $4 flip flops that would do better for the actual functioning of the shoe.  I will say they are attractive and will probably last a good deal of time, but if they don't function as needed, there is little redeeming value in them from my perspective. I would not recommend buying them or any other flip flop with highly flexible straps. It is the rigidity of the straps that provides lateral stability and it also allows for quick on and off. I'll donate these to Goodwill.
