Out of the box I could tell these sandals were designed to last, however I questioned whether they would be comfortable since they were very stiff with no give and no arch support. Unfortunately, the catch-22 is you have to wear them to see if they break in and wearing them prevents you from returning them. On hindsight I should have returned them. While the sandals do compress a little bit to fit your foot, it is minimal. The midsole is just too hard. If you're looking for a sandal to wear around the house, then these would work. But for all-day wear or walking, I would not recommend. I'd rate them right in the middle at 2.5 if I could, so I rounded up.

I thought I would love these as I love all the rest of my Origin gear. However, after a month of wearing them I discovered that my foot slips in them while walking. I noted after a few hours of wear that my ankles were killing me. After some analysis I observed that my other sandals don't allow my foot to slip when the ankle articulates. These Origin sandals are slippery where the foot sole contacts the sandal sole. No bueno for me. Its like trying to walk on ice...no traction despite wearing footwear. They are ok for a short trip to the mats of justice to the locker room but count me as a hard no for a sandal that goes everywhere. Please improve the footbed of these sandals. I wanted to love them.
OUOrigin USA22 hours agoHi Tom,
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about the Built By Freedom™ Flop Leather Sandal, and we sincerely apologize that the lack of traction has caused discomfort and ankle pain during wear.
Your specific insights about the slippery contact between your foot and the sandal sole, and how this affects ankle articulation during walking, is incredibly valuable information that we'll share directly with our design and product development teams.
Your feedback about the footbed needing improvement to provide better traction helps us recognize how critical that secure foot-to-sandal connection is for comfort and safety, especially for a sandal designed to go everywhere with you.

These are actually the first pair of sandals I have ever purchased. They are aging well and look better as they age. I would say the fit is a bit loose, but could just be me.
OUOrigin USAYesterdayTerrell, that's awesome to hear these are your first pair of sandals and you're wearing them every day! There's something special about leather gear that actually gets better with age - those Built By Freedom™ Flops are designed to develop that rich patina and character over time. As for the fit being a bit loose, that's not uncommon with leather sandals, especially as they break in and conform to your feet. The fact that you're reaching for them daily tells us we built exactly what we set out to - reliable, comfortable gear that becomes part of your routine. Thanks for choosing Origin!
