text: I bought these when they came on sale, mostly on the strength of the extremely positive reviews.  I wish I'd seen them in person first.  One reviewer said they had great arch support.  You can tell from the picture there is zero arch support.  One review said they didn't flop when you walk, which sounded far too good to be true for a flip flop and most certainly was.  These flop with the best of them.  Several people said they could walk around in these all day with complete comfort, and I don't agree with that either.<br /><br />Maybe if you're used to $2 Old Navy flip flops you'd like these.  They'd be a step up from those, for sure, but overall these particular Skechers struck me as a cheap plastic shoe like the kind you buy at Payless (where I used to work.)  One reviewer said she could &#34;dress them up&#34; by wearing something other than shorts, and I don't agree that they look dressy enough to wear to, say, dinner.  They had a strong off-gas smell when I opened the box, and there is nothing to absorb sweat in the bottom.  Great if you wear them to the pool,  but if you're wearing them to walk around on a hot day (like summer) you'll be slipping and sliding if you sweat even the tiniest bit.  Gross.  Just a cheap shoe, out of many cheap summer shoes you could buy and probably already have a pair or two, like we all do.  Just don't pay full price.<br /><br />By the way, I normally wear a 7 to 7.5 in sandals, but I bought an 8 based on what some reviewers suggested and that was the right size for me so the reviews were right on the money there.  Also, as many reviewers said, the straps thankfully aren't a hard plastic like you see in even cheaper sandals.  They don't cut into your toes and feet.  That's not enough for me to keep these, though.
