these shoes, at least these flip flops are comfortable, perhaps thanks to the barbs of the insole. I have great difficulty in my shoes with a very wide base and a very strong kick and I must say they Shoe me very well and they protect well the foot. In this regard, careful when trying the first time !! they seem at first too large due to the overhang of the sole, but if you have taken your usual size is the right size. Small drawback: they are a foot tall.
