I bought a pair and liked them so much I bought a second pair with 3 days the exact same color. Will probably buy other colors in the near future . My wife also ordered a pair after I received my first pair. They are shipped fast . Took less than a week to get them . I bought a size 9. I normally get 8-8 1/2 . Fit perfect. You should probably order 1 size up to be safe .
I apologize for the length of this review but it all needs to be said to make my point! I’m almost 72 years old and as my doctor told me years ago: “this cowboy lifestyle is gonna catch up with you one day”! And with a lifetime of ranching and rodeo, it has! I always wondered why Old Cowboys wore tennis shoes instead of their boots! Now I know. My injury/surgery list is so long, it’s hard to remember them all…. broken back in 1984 with 3 doctors/surgeons telling me it’s medically impossible for me to walk, 4 shoulder surgeries including a shoulder replacement, a hip replacement with my other hip now bone on bone, 3 bicep repairs, 5 herniated discs in my neck, my brain stem 1/10 of normal size with a plate holding my head on and Very little movement of my head, along with severe nerve damage on my entire left side due to the neck issue with less than half the feeling in my left hand and entire left side, not to mention all the busted ribs and fingers, etc! Even with these issues and the daily pain meds, The Lord has blessed me with the strength and ability to continue to live my life and do the things I love to do including and especially hunting and fishing! As I’ve learned as those Old Cowboys I mentioned learned, it all starts at your feet! Comfortable/cushioned feet relieves a lot of the pain going up my body! I found a brand of tennis shoes that have the comfort/cushion I needed and wear them daily….I’ve been looking for a pair of flip flops to fish in and wear around the house on my tile floors that give me the same relief….I’ve bought multiple pairs of Reefs, Skechers, Crocs, etc and none of them gave me the comfort/relief like my tennis shoes….then I discovered Velous! I ordered a pair of Oceanside Flips and although the comfort was AMAZING and just what I’ve been looking for, the fit wasn’t exactly right so I sent a message from their website and within a few hours had a text from Tim telling me I should try the Pacific Flips….after a lengthy phone call, he sent me a pair…..in the meantime, in the short time I wore the Oceansides around the house, they amazingly adjusted to my feet and fit just like they should…..so of course, I sent the Pacifics back. Not only is Velous an Awesome Product but Tim and the company stand behind them and are Genuinely concerned about their customers! Their Customer Service is 2nd to None! God Bless Tim and Velous!<><

I been looking and looking and finally found it. These are so lightweight, comfortable and supportive. I followed the suggestion of a size up and it is perfect. Will definitely buy other colors available. A+++++Thank you
Best flies out there. I stand for 10 hours in these fishing in a boat with no problems in feet or back. They are amazing.
I've been searching for a the perfect pair of flip flops ever since my molokinis blew out and the model changed. I've been through Olukai (terrible support) Reef (worse), Rainbow (worst), Chaco (too tight), and Freewaters. But then Freewaters changed to a new design so I found this brand. These Velous flipflops are almost as good as the Freewaters. They would be so much more comfortable if the tops didn't have so much sewing. When I first put them on I thought there was sand in them. I wore them straight outta the bag on a long walk fully expecting to have blisters but as they warmed up, the fabric softened and I was pleasantly surprised. I still feel the rough upper but the bottoms are so supportive and cradle my foot so well that I am going to be wearing these more than I initially thought. I broke my foot a year ago and it has been really hard to find good summer shoes that are supportive. These are so great. I wish they had a nicer upper but I get it; they're made as recovery shoes. My feet are FINALLY happy. :)
Followed suggestions to size up, they're too big. I placed my heel that is in agonizing pain, in the heel cup and walked around my hardwood floor for about 10 mins to see if I could feel any pain relief (so I knew if I needed an exchange or refund) and after those few minutes my feet hurt WORSE in areas I don't even feel the pain in now. Really sad, I wanted these to be my miracle "get out of pain" card, but theyre not.
Hi Shanna, Thanks for your feedback and we are sorry that the Oceanside Flip just didn't fit your foot correctly. Thanks for giving them a try!
As somebody who needs supportive arches, these are great and super comfortable and stylish
Love them they are very comfortable
What a relief to find a flip flop that helps my heel and arches in my foot.
These sandals are awesome! So comfortable!
