That's fantastic, Jeremy! Getting both colors the day they launched—you clearly know quality when you see it. The fact that you're a daily flip flop wearer and these are still looking brand new after all that use really speaks to the craftsmanship that goes into every pair of the BUILT BY FREEDOM™ FLOP LEATHER SANDALS.

It's exactly that kind of durability and comfort we're aiming for—gear that can keep up with your daily routine while maintaining that fresh look. And when dirt just wipes right off? That's the beauty of quality leather construction.

Thanks for being an early supporter and for the strong recommendation!

That's awesome to hear, Josh! We know the anticipation was worth it—there's nothing quite like finally getting your hands on something you've been waiting for. It's great that you stuck through those first couple of days because now you're experiencing exactly what these sandals are all about. And the fact that the leather is already developing that beautiful patina and your wife loves them too? That's the perfect combination right there!

Thanks for choosing Origin and for the fantastic feedback!

Thanks for the honest 2-star review on the Built By Freedom™ Flop Leather Sandal, Gerard! We really appreciate you taking the time to break down both what's working and what's not hitting the mark for you.

We're glad to hear the comfort level, firmness balance, and premium leather quality are on point right out of the box. Your specific feedback about the strap being too loose and thin for walking, plus the slickness issue when wet, is incredibly valuable as we continue refining our sandal designs.

We totally get that when you're looking for sandals that can handle more than just standing around at the BBQ, you need that secure fit and reliable grip in all conditions. Your detailed breakdown of the performance in different situations helps us understand where we need to focus our improvements.

Thanks for giving Origin a shot and for the straightforward feedback on what worked and what you'd want to see improved!

Hi Jordan,

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback about the Built By Freedom™ Flop Leather Sandal, and we sincerely apologize that the sole separation issue developed so quickly after just a few days of wear.

Your specific feedback about the sole coming apart within days and continuing to deteriorate over three weeks is incredibly valuable information that we'll share directly with our manufacturing and quality control teams. When sandals start separating after such minimal use, that tells us we have a fundamental construction issue that needs immediate attention.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we've reached out to you in a separate email to get this taken care of for you!

There's nothing quite like your first pair of leather sandals, especially when they deliver on both style and comfort! It's awesome that they're hitting the mark for you, Michael. That American-made quality isn't just a bonus - it's what drives everything we do at Origin. Thanks for taking the time to share this!
