Product Description

Every beachgoer has seen broken, discarded sandals littering the sand. Over 35 years ago, the President and Founder of Rainbow Sandals, Jay R. Longley Jr., had this same experience and came up with a simple idea: to create comfortable sandals that would withstand the test of time and not end up a piece of litter. After a lot of research and testing, the Rainbow Sandals that so many people know and love today were developed. Hand made and held together with strong glue, Rainbow Sandals will stay in one piece and will keep your feet comfortable with sponge rubber that molds to your individual foot shape. Rainbow Sandals keep the beaches clean and our feet comfortable, and they have grown to become a world-known brand that provides us with a variety of sandal choices, as well as shoes and boots. With an unbeatable Rainbow Guarantee, your Rainbow Sandals and Footwear will carry your feet for miles. SIZING NOTE: Mens Rainbow Sandals run true to size, however, they have a wider footbed than the womens Rainbow Sandals. Many women with a wider foot order the mens sandals if the womens sizes are too narrow. See Rainbow Sizing Chart to compare mens and womens sizing.  NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT USE PETROLEUM OR OIL BASED CONDITIONER, CLEANER, SEALER OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF CHEMICAL ON THE LEATHER SURFACE OF RAINBOW SANDALS. DOING SO WILL CAUSE UN-REPAIRABLE DE-LAMINATING AND SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RAINBOW GUARANTEE

Customer Reviews

Rainbow Sandals
I ordered a pair of mens Rainbows for my son. They seem to fit true to size. He wears a 10 1/2 Mens shoe and the Large fit him fine. They should fit a little snug in the beginning. Being leather they will soon mold to fit your foot. He loves them and says they are the best flip flops he has ever worn.

Da BEST Flip Flops
After 18 years, my husband finally let go of his Rainbow Flip Flops bought in 1989. Granted the past two summers of wearing them has been an act of love on his part but, they were his favorites and though slightly cracked from lying in the sun....he could still wear them. He was like a kid with a toy when he received his new pair for Christmas...and though the logo was different, the name was the same and the quality appeared to be the same, as well. When he bought his one and only orignal pair in 1989...we gasped at the price since it was higher than the drug store brands...but, they are worth every penny...no gasps needed...they last almost forever...made extremely well...comfortable, handsome leather...we're fans!

Don't Give in to the Hype
Rainbow Sandals do not live up to their reputation. They take a while to break in (mine are now well broke in) but that is not the problem. For some reason my heels will not stay centered on the back of sandals (a problem usually only reserved for wally world $2.95 sandals) and I developed stone bruises do to this fact. Below I will list Pros and Cons of Rainbow Sandals.
Pros:
- real leather
- durable construction
Cons:
- Uncomfortable before and after break in see above
- Very expensive
- Not enough padding (maybe the double layer is better, but I will never know because I am through with Rainbow products).
- If you ever get them wet even just the top they become dangerously slippery
- My feet will not center on the sandals (I have taken an informal survey and I notice even among adherents to the Rainbow cult that most are off center).

In closing I would recommend Cobian or Reef as I have had great luck with both brands.
