Agree with everyone - these take a few days to break in, but once they do they are the most comfortable flip-flops EVER! One note on size: I am a 6.5 in most shoes, and wasn't sure to go with the Small or Medium here. The Medium was best - my heel was almost hanging off the Small size, and the Medium actually fits perfectly.

Not like they used to be
These sandals were so flimsy and didn’t even feel like leather. I’ve been buying these sandals for 20 years and they are nothing like they used to be. This was the first time I bought them and was unhappy. I returned them. I guess I won’t be buying rainbows anymore. I’m bummed

LOVE, but...
Great flip flop. limited sizing.
I wear a size 7.5 in most shoes, so I was conflicted between getting the medium and the large. I ended up getting the large because the medium was too narrow and my foot went all the way to the end of the shoe. Now, after breaking them in, they are so much better than any flip flop I've ever worn. Comfort and support. The only problem is that the large has a little too much room at the end of it, making it look less appealing, but the medium would have looked equally awkward with my foot hanging off the sides. I wish there was a size between medium and large.

Rainbows forever!
I've been living in my other pair of Rainbows for the past 5 years if that says anything to you about the quailty.. They last forever!
I just bought these babys not too long ago in Sierra Brown. The color goes with everything! Only word of warning is at first you have to break in your sandals a little since they are leather. Once they're broken in you're golden!
Best sandal brand ever!
***PS I wear a size 6 in regular shoes and the Small fits perfectly!

These shoes are my summer staple. I have had 3 pairs of these. I would recommend buying a color lighter, because they are leather, and my Sierra Browns have actually aged to be almost as dark as the Espressos. I also have the Blacks, which I love. All of my friends wear these too. Super comfortable as well. Mine actually have "molded" to fit my feet! Walking around in these for long periods of time is not a problem whatsoever.

love love love
I wear a size 8 and I got the mediums andthey are perfect. I tried the larges first but they were way to big. Yes they take some breaking in to loosen the strap a little but they are so super comfortable. Get some!

FYI
Since this page gives no information on what any of their small, medium, large sizing means, I know at least that size small is for sizes 5.5-6.5. Good luck

Perfect Walking Sandal
As an inveterate walker and hiker, I find this the perfect walking sandal. Sole is well padded and very firm, there is a nice instep rise, and the sole does mold to the foot after some wear. Suede feel to sole and upper straps is nice. Beautiful look. I've worn Rainbow sandals for five years now. I still have my first pair. They last. This is only my second purchase -- wanted a new color and thinner strap. Only drawback to the black is that some of the dye comes off on the foot, but the dye washes off easily at the end of the day. I found the stitching on the black sandal to be "ingrained" (if that is the word) into the strap so that it is not felt when walking and does not rub into the upper foot. In the same sandal in sierra brown, on the other hand, the stitching was felt -- it rubbed into my foot, creating blisters, and I had to return that sandal.

Small but comfy
I'm a size 9 and my heels are almost fall off the end. They are comfy but I may have to return them. I ordered an XL, why are they made so small?

Makes Black Feet.
I just wanted a pain of flip flops to end the season. The black soles rub off on my feet however, so had to return.

comfortable, long lasting flip flop
This isn't my first pair of Rainbow sandals, but it is the first time I've tried the narrow strap style. I love them even more than the originals! The narrow strap is a bit more feminine and as a bonus, required no break-in time unlike the wide version. The quality, comfort and durability is what I've come to expect from Rainbows and imagine they will last me many years just as my others have. I almost always wear a size 7 (once in a while a 6.5) - the mediums fit perfectly.
