text: There was something wrong with on of the flip flops we received where thong was placed too far back on the sole of the shoe and my son was unable to get his foot in the shoe.  I took some time and help from Amazon to return this item and we ultimately replaced this pair with a pair from Bloomingdales (same price).  That pair is what we expected from Vineyard Vines. If you don't get a defective pair this is a great flip flip for men.
