Learning curve: US buyers go by the EU sizing!Stumblelucked into these having been oblivious to the insta & tiktok frenzy. My kids told me after I got them. Then tried to steal them, lol. Just wanted some slides I could wear socks with that hopefully would be comfy enough for a bit less. I'm disabled with significant foot, knee, hip & spine issues. Have been locked into crocs over 15 years. Got a pair of Telic prison orange for a song of a lightning deal a couple years back that were supposed to be mules but arrived as thongs. Turned out to be fairly comfy so i kept them. Imagine my shock at thinking I might try again for the slides and learning I've been mucking around the garden & house in $65 flip flops ? ....ANYWAY, these looked fat & squishy so I decided why not for the price on Prime Day. Awwwmazing choice but for one thing. I assumed size up on the halves. They are big for me. Less so with socks. Barefoot on a slope I end up with my toes curled over the end of the shoe. As that's not terribly practical in public (or safe for my toes) I began researching brands & reviews. It seems everyone is capitalizing on the EVA footwear craze so it's rather tedious but necessary. Maybe I can save you some time. They're definitely not all created equal. The EU sizing really seems to be the key for proper fitting if the brand is worth wearing. The thinner more sandal thickness type is probably delightful for most people. If you have a real need for cushion, these thick ones are what you want. I aggravated my hip badly last night. Pretty sure these shoes are the only thing giving me the ability to shuffle around today. The cupped edges really do make them feel secure. And protected! After bonking my toes repeatedly this summer in the Telic & Croc sandals, I am thrilled to not have yet done that in these. So are my toes. I can't really feel my feet anymore, except when I hit something, then the pain is excruciating. There's been a lovely absence of that since these arrived! I'm too busy for social media taking care of my daughter and her family (5 grandbabies 8, 6, 4, 2, & 6 months) since she became seriously ill this spring. So I still have no idea what type or brand is hot there. But the fact I can still comfortably wear these too big and all, tells me what I need to know. You won't regret these, especially with the price point!Photo 1: shows there's room for a pretty wide foot if you have one.Photo 2: still roomy with socksPhoto 3: kinda swimming on me but still crazy comfy
