text: They are comfortable, and they do give good support, especially for a flip flop, but I was looking for a pair to replace these amazing Merrells (Pansy) that I had for years- they stopped making them.  I ruined those when I went into the Dead Sea with them.  My issue with these Bare Traps is that though they mold to your foot, they become black on the bottom where your feet put the most pressure on, and it can turn your feet a bit black as well.  Also, the more you wear the shinier the black becomes, and it rubs my ball of foot in a way that will give a blister if I wear them all day.  And they also make my feet stink.  I've never had that problem with any other pair of flip flops.  So though they are comfortable, I am still looking for another pair to replace my Merrells.
