caution !!! mediocre at best
Eastbay makes men's flip flops that are strictly average in quality--I should have known better. They are very inexpensive--$1.99 at the time that I write this--and apparently you DO get what you pay for in flip flops.
These felt a little too tight in the front where the big toe is separated from the rest of the toes; but that wore off pretty quickly as they became rather loose pretty fast. Unfortunately, they became rather loose in just a brief period of time; and this disappointed me quite a bit.
On the bright side, the rubber sole was one part of the flip flops that actually worked best. It does give you a fairly good amount of comfort as you walk about; and this makes these perfect for the beach if you're taking a few day trips or a week off somewhere. In addition, these flip flops come in a wide array of sizes and colors.
Unfortunately, I doubt that these flip flops will last you any appreciable amount of time. If I got two solid weeks out of mine that would have been incredible; these are just too cheaply made to last very long.
Overall, if you just want something for a day or two here and there at the beach, this just might last you--for part of the warmer summer weather here in New York. If you need or want better quality flip flops that will truly last a long time, then you should keep looking and not buy these.
Great But Color comes off.
Great but my blue/gold flip flop's color comes off and it all over my heal and socks after my shower. Cheap but shipping kills it.
They Changed My Life Forever
I am not what you would call a "ladies man", I'm just your average Joe six-pack. All that turned around when I received these bad boys in the mail, and realized they were more than flip-flops they were a new way of life.
They arrived in the mail shortly after ordering them, I quickly took them out of the neat packaging and placed them on my bare feet. Eager to see how I looked in these I rushed to my wall length mirror and took a gander. There was something different about me, my girth seemed to meld into something poetic, no longer was I fat, I was just right. My coffee and cigarette stained teeth were no longer unsightly but now distinguished.
After seeing these new changes in myself, excitedly I ran out the door to the nearest Wal-Mart to see how the ladies would respond. I was hoping the nebulous nature of the flip-flops would extend to other peoples perception and not just my own. I pulled into the parking lot and for the first time ever I found a spot up front! Could these flip-flops be lucky as well? I parked my truck and stuck one foot out slowly from the door. Dangling down I could somehow feel the eyes of women staring. This feeling was intense for a moment a deep fear kicked in, but a man wearing these flip-flops need fear not!
I took a deep breath and fully stepped out of my truck. Immediately I was greeted by three of the finest woman this side of the trailer park. I heard a voice inside my head saying "leave these inferior women behind, your destiny lies inside Wal-Mart". I knew right then and there the flip flops were talking to me. I followed the advice of the magical shoe and waddled inside. Eyes followed me up and down the isles, as I purchased my weekly rations of hot pockets and cigarettes. When I went to check out I realized I left my food stamps at home. I apologized to the cashier, who upon hearing this insisted my purchase was on the house.
She gave me her phone number. "It's time to leave now, return to your truck, and drive home" The flip-flops whispered in my head. So once again following the orders of this higher power, left the store got in my truck and drove home.
Now all this was a little much for a simple man like myself to soak in. I started to think I was going insane, and imagined my afternoon adventure in my head. I reached in my wallet and saw the phone number from the cashier. It turned out this number was real, her name was Jimmy-Sue, and she was only missing 2 teeth. The rest is history we got married, got a double wide trailer, and I owe it all to these magical flip-flops.
