Cobian Women's Braided Bounce

I’ve worn this style of Cobian sandals since 2014 (bought my first pair on my honeymoon when my cheap plastic flip flops wouldn’t cut it). Since then I’ve had some feet injuries and despite being in shape and slim my over pronation has gotten worse. These are some of the only sandals that keeps me feet firmly nestled in the shoe and after years of hiking and walking helps keep the foot pain at bay by providing an extreme level of comfort with great support and stability. It takes FOREVER to wear these things out! I wear them at home everyday when I don’t have tennis shoes on and constantly wear them out in the summer months, I use them at the pool and put my wet feet in them too (they dry extremely quick considering the material of the sole) and despite all that it still takes about 2 years for a pair to fall apart for me. Daily wear with a lot of abuse and I only have repurchase every couple of years? Yes, definitely worth the price! I like that the braided style allows these to work for casual and kind of dressy looks- I’ll wear them with workout shorts and sweatpants (the solid colors like black or cream work the best for that) and I’ll wear them with dressier shirts and jeans or khakis and they look great (these brown ones with dual color in the braid looks great dressed up)! These are by far the best sandals I have ever owned, providing comfort and stability and still looking fashionable and nice and I hope they never quit making them. I highly recommend these- they are so very worth it! The only thing I will comment on is that I think they do run a tad small especially if you deal with any swelling in the feet. I am normally a 7-7.5 in sandals and while I can wear the size 7 I much much more comfortable in an 8. So if you’re between sizes or have a wider foot or any swelling definitely size up because I feel the tightness more so in the width than the length but the 8’s aren’t too long for me. Everyone is different though so I’d actually suggest buying two sizes if you’re unsure so you can try them both out.

I bought these after using my old pair (in cream) for over 6 years. Those things were the most comfortable flip flop and I knew I wanted another pair to replace them. The only reason I got new ones really is cause they were really dirty from recent daily wear, and the padding was smushed down a fair bit too. My new ones are in another color, chestnut I believe, which I'm a bit iffy on but getting used to. The padding is wayyyy thicker than my old worn-down ones. One problem I had at the first use was the part that goes between your toes gave me a small blister on one side. However I found that there was just a sharp and protruding corner of the leather square part in the front that was rubbing my toe weird. I snipped a tiny bit of the corner off and now they feel great and I've had no other issues. Highly recommend this flip flop brand. The support and cushion is amazing and they last forever, even after getting wet or being left outside. They are flexible and have a cute design. Great for daily wear, walking, or the beach.

In general love Cobian sandals. These are the second pair I’ve purchased from Amazon - these have a softer footbed than expected but the arch support is really good. They aren’t what I wanted in color and I’d rather had a flat strap instead of braided, but I’m keeping these because they fit and were a really good deal. (Not sure how they came up as “an item you’ve looked at has changed price because I’ve never looked at this color. The other pair had a flat strap but I returned because the footbed was much too soft/squishy with very little arch support.)

These sandals are very comfortable to walk in. Good arch support with very good cushioning. They fit true to size. I liked them so well I bought 3 pairs in different colors.

Ordered these a half size up from my usual and was a bit surprised by how smallish they were on my foot, that fit all the way flush to the back edge. I ordered another pair in a different color on a sale and decided to gamble and size up again. This time I order a full size AND a half up and they fit perfectly, with 1/3" at the back edge. As a bit of a natural power-strider, I walk fast, and being able to rely on that heel strike for traction is important. I wanted a pair that didn't have my heel balanced precariously near that back edge! Going up a size and a half worked - so a size 10 fits more like an 8 1/2. Also, the front strap between the toes is short-ish, so it seems to pull back on that area. I have a sleek frame and flatter/bonier feet and even I noticed this effect. If you have feet with more "body" to them - more fluff ;) - these may be a tad uncomfortable, even if you size up considerably. I noticed this on both pairs/sizes. I am guessing these will adjust and conform to the foot as they get worn, and things will settle into alignment as they should. Still, I strongly suggest you buy these being able to do free returns, until you are certain you know what size will work for you, in length AND strap comfort. All those caveats aside, I wear thongs A LOT, and these are the most comfortable pair I have ever felt! Immediately re-ordered a 2nd pair. Like walking on gummy bears. Happy feet thongs. The strap doesn't pull too much on the front of my feet, and they are quite used to that from wearing thongs so much anyway (hot feet!), and walking in them sinks my foot into the footbed, so things align right. Great company, but they should *really* look into true-ing up their sizes to proper fit standards (so customers get the expected fit from a thongs order) and fix the issue of the straps being a bit too tight/snug between the toes, as this can be pretty uncomfortable. Nothing ruins a great pair of thongs faster than a toe-strap that is painfully tight, unyielding, and causes abrasion/friction between the toes! A little adjustment in manufacturing would mean a HUGE comfort boost for customers/wearers. For such a good company, getting these 2 issues resolved once and for all would be a huge blessing to company and customers for the long haul! Being so comfortable, it is worth it to go thru the hassle to find your own "right pair/size" and order a couple/few pair once you do. This review *only* applies to the Braided Bounce, as I have only tried/bought those. Whether these issues apply to other styles, I have no idea. Overall, really amazing comfort and glad I decided to gamble on these in the comfort category. I wear some pretty brick-like thongs - no comfort but natural air conditioning for those hot of feet! - and being active in walking/jogging/etc., I needed at least one pair that offered some occasional comfort. I ordered 3 pairs, from 3 brands, across men's and women's styles/thongs. I kept these and ordered a 2nd pair. Foot (and fait) comfort accomplished!

Very Comfortable but they run small. I wear 11 and my Heel is right on edge. They don’t come in half size. Leather straps do not run small but are smooth and comfortable.

These are the only flip-flops I wear, I’ve been wearing them for over 10 years. They have a high arch support are extremely comfortable and come in all different colors, my oldest daughter wears them as well for the arch support.

These sandals were comfortable right out of the box, no break in period required. They have nice cushioning, fit well, and feel great even when walking several miles. Very happy to have found them. Bunions make it difficult for me to find comfortable shoes, these are perfect. Ordering another pair in a different color

Very comfy & pretty

Absolutely love this Flip-Flops - First purchased a pair on holiday in the Caribbean, then a second pair on a subsequent visit. I have been searching ever since for about 5 years and finally found these. They are soooo comfortable and last for a very long time. I'm a size 5 UK shoe, and I purchased a US size 7 (the equivalent) which is a perfect fit for me. I will definitely be buying more in the future.

Comfortable good fit

I LOVE these flip flops. I was so happy to find these online and see there was delivery to Canada as the store where I purchased my first pair closed down. This is my second pair of these flip flops. My first pair lasted 3 years! They are cushiony and comfortable-- I've worn them on the beach, daily wear, to work, paddleboarding, etc. They go everywhere. I will be re-ordering in other colours. Shipping arrived on time.

Gute Passform und sehr bequem!
