Paniolo Flip Flop (Women)

First I had purchased the OluKai Ohanas. The arch support turned out to be a bit intense and the footbeds turned my feet black. (Apparently a known issue). After returning the Ohanas, I decided to purchase the Paniolos. I was a little worried about the stitching in the footbeds because you can feel it under your feet, but it actually feels nice, especially after hours of wear - almost like a subtle foot massage. The Paniolos have good arch support and I have so far found the leather part between the toes to be comfortable. They also have an effective non-slip sole and seem to be well made to last a long time. A great looking flip flop at an ok price.

I have had my eye on these for 5 years.....I wanted them and I finally treated myself to them. I'm so sad.....they are terrible. I am returning them. They are VERY hard and immediately uncomfortable as soon as you put them on. They are also wide and sloppy, at least on my foot. I am used to Rainbows....I've worn them all my life and these are not even close to as good a flip flop, support-wise or comfort. And rainbows are 40% less than these. Pass on these unless you have super wide feet and don't mind walking on wood.
