'Flirty' Braided Leather Flip Flop

Truly horrible. They look so cute online and even hanging in the store. But I promise they're just like a baby wolverine; cute and enticing, then they'll ravage your feet at the soonest chance they get. I wore these flip flops around the house a couple of times and they were OK; not comfy, but OK. I decided to wear them out - to and from work, a .5 mile trek in all - and my feet were literally bleeding. My feet are STILL heeling from the cuts the braid dug into them and it's almost been a month. I went to get a pedicure and the pedicurist commented on the band-aids I still have on my feet. What's even worse is that not only are these quite possibly the most uncomfortable flip flops in the world, but the damage they do to your feet make wearing any of your other already comfortable flip flops agony. Seriously, bypass the temptation of these flirty braids, they'll only make your feet miserable.

Bought these and was so excited for the foot support they give. Unfortunately, after two wears wears the braided band wore down my skin, I got blisters and now they are finally heeling. I’m sure what to do with them now :(

I ordered a pair of these on Nordstrom and they shipped in 5 days!! As soon as I opened them, I fell in love with them. You could tell that they were brand new. As expected (by reading reviews), when I tried them on, they were a bit snug on me. I walked around in them at home every day and put a tennis ball under the strap to stretch it out. Once I broke into them, they were much comfier. I am a regular 8.5 so I ordered a Large and they fit perfectly! I wear these shoes all the time and they are so cute and comfortable. They go great with ANYTHING! I receive so many compliments on them. You can dress these up or you can dress them down. I would definitely buy these again and recommend​ them to a friend!

I used to think Rainbow slippers were a bit overpriced for a pair of sandals, but I decided to give it a try since I was in need of some flip flops. To cut my story short, the slippers are a good investment. Breaking in the Rainbows are a little painful but it took me no more than 3 weeks to make them fit comfortably. The supported arch and material of the slipper in general make Rainbows better than regular flat fashion sandals out there. The braid feature gives a cute feature to the slipper while it is still comfortable. Also, I'm a size 6 - 6.5 and a small fits perfectly; it might feel too small at first but it won't once it's stretched out. I don't have any complaints about my Rainbows besides the fact that they are still pricey, but overall money well spent! They should come out with other colors of this kind. Tip: When you first buy them, to stretch them out with less pain wear socks underneath and wear them around the house

I always have a pair of rainbows on hand for the beach or just any summer occasion. These are adorable and the perfect flip flop with nice support. The only downside is that the straps need to be worn in and have a tendency to pinch in the first few weeks of wear.

They are my first pair of rainbows and they are comfortable, but as some of the reviews said the strap at the outside bottom turns in and is really annoying, I am hoping to train it to stay in the proper place but so far nothing is working. I haven't worn them but a few times so far so its hard to give an in depth review at this point. But the problem with the strap was immediate and on-going.

I love Rainbows because they offer decent arch support for flip flops (arch support is important to me because of a Lisfranc injury/plantar fasciitis) and because they last for a while even with frequent use. I used to go for the thicker straps, and was about to try out the skinny strap version when I saw this braided version. The braids are SUPER CUTE and flattering. Very versatile and perfect for California days! My only issue with Rainbows is that I'm a size 7 for nearly all my shoes/sandals. I tried on the medium in this version in hopes that it would fit me perfectly, but the extra space in the back was too unsightly. So, I went for my usual size small, which is just very slightly short for my foot, but perfectly sized once I wear in the leather and the straps have some give.

I cannot believe that my $60 flip-flops I have a non-removable sticker on them!

Like the look, like the cushy. They run slightly small, but I think they'll stretch. But my main complaint is why put a paper sticker on the leather heel that, when you try to peel it off, it won't come off without tearing? That is really my main complaint. So I've got half the sticker still stuck on the heel: white paper on tan shoe. Not a good look.

I really love the feel of these flip flops, I am just quite bummed about the sizing. I normally wear an 8.5 or 9, do naturally I ordered the large size (7.7-8.5) I began to feel an premonition that they may be bigger than I liked, so I called customer service the day after I ordered them, but it was too late to make any changes apparently. The larges came, and they looked pretty decent, so I wore them, but now I wish I hadn't because now the leather thongs have stretched a little bit, there is an inch behind my heal. I love the sandals, but I'm disappointed by how big they look on my feet.

I love the look of these shoes so much, but have a really hard time with sizing. I am 6.5 in sandals. The mediums stretched out way to much after a few wears and I literally had to grip my toes to keep them on my feet. But, the smalls are so short. I wish Rainbow would make these in actual sizes (not "small," "medium," and "large")

These are a must have! The arch support in these is amazing, and the braid is so cute! It's hard for me to find the right flip flops that won't hurt my feet after hours of walking, since I have flat feet, but Rainbows do the job. The straps are a little tight when you first try them on, but I broke mine in after only several hours of walking in them. Unlike other reviewers whom have experienced discomfort with the braid, mine feel fine and have not ever dug into my feet. Perhaps theirs weren't broken in enough? These are the comfiest flip flops I've ever worn, and the color goes along so well with everything!
