Telic Unisex ArchSupport FlipFlops and Bob Sports Towel-Voted Best Comfort Shoe

I recently went on vacation walking 50 miles in a 10 day period. Needless to say my arches suffered. I purchased these when I returned for the arch support. I soooo wish I had them for my recent vacation. I wear flip flops all summer and most of them are not comfortable for a lot of walking. These Telic arch support flip flops are wonderful! I put them on and my arch pain was alleviated. I haven't had them long so I can't attest to durability but they seem to be made well and I think they will last a long time. Like some flip flops, I haven't had any problem with tripping. Some flip flops fold under at the tip when walking but these haven't done that so I feel they would be safe for people with a less than perfect gait. Sizing is as expected. I normally wear a 9.5 - sometimes wide width depending on the shoe. I ordered the M/L and the fit was perfect.

Pros:1) Relieves heel pain2) Soft, comfortable3) Waterproof4) Excellent arch support ( stops pronation)5) Quiet flop as well as soundless walkingCons: (mostly minor, just good to know)1) Runs small. Absolutely order one size larger than you normally wear2) Has an oily residue. Wash with soap and water before wearing3) Will shrink if left in the sun4) Takes a little adjusting, but then love them!5) I had hoped they would help with hip discomfort, and they did some, but not totally6) The toe strap occasionally pinches

Update - I previously purchased Oofos for heal and arch support. They were great, however they were extremely slippery when wet, and I could not wear them at the water park. Today I wore the Telics for the first time at the water park and they did not slip at all, they were perfect. I'm still leaving my review at 4 stars because they are snug (even after going up a size), but I would buy these again over Oofos because I feel safer around water wearing Telics.I had to return my first pair to go up a size. The sole of this shoe is comfortable, although there is a ridge on the ball of the foot that sometimes make me check my shoe. The straps are a little snug, so if my feet are swollen the shoes are definitely tight.

Heel pain relief is good and they have good arch support. I have high arches. Order one size larger than your normal. Eg. I wear size 11 M and ordered size 12 XL. They were helpful in explaining to do this. Prompt shipping and received quickly. I had improvement immediately with the extreme heel pain. I've had them for one month and wear them all day every day. They wipe clean nicely as needed and you can wear them in the shower as well. I've self diagnosed plantar fasciitis.

These TELIC Flipflops used to be the best thing that ever happened to my feet. After being diagnosed with plantar fascitis and wearing them for a few short weeks, my foot pain was completely gone. The perfect fit, soft rubber soles with the high arch support made these a pleasure to wear...I wore them for a few years. That was then. This is now: They have COMPLETELY changed the feel of these flipflops. No longer a comfortable, soft rubber, these are hard, inflexible and literally THREE sizes TOO SMALL!! I ordered my exact size of 13 (3XL) and my heel is hanging off the back of these and the straps are too tight to even allow my foot in. Once I force my foot in, after five minutes of wearing these, I must take them off because they are so uncomfortable. I don't know why on earth they would alter what was, in my humble opinion, a perfect product. Besides these complaints, I have worn these for a total of 30 minutes and they already small horrible. WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?!?!?!? :(

These are by far the most comfortable flip flop I’ve ever had and are great for my plantar fasciitis. However the sizing has changed drastically since ordering my first pair over a year ago. I was originally a size XL, Men’s 11. When I went to reorder the instructions were to order up a size due to their new dying process, so I ordered a size XXL which was HUGE. I returned these and ordered the same size I had before, an XL. These also turned out to be HUGE and about two sizes bigger than the original XL’s I already own. I will keep them as my feet need the support and can’t wait any longer to return and repurchase a different size again. A word of caution on sizing to everyone looking to purchase these!!

I purchased these flip-flops because I have a bone spur. And had been advised that these shoes would help. They are soft, and at the same time, provide the extra arch support. I can easily wear them all day. They deliver as promised.

Definitely runs small! Also stiffer and thinner foam than Oofos. Picture shows size difference vs Oofos, both of these are men size 9.
