I've owned more than a dozen pair of flip flops in the last 20 years, most in the $20-50 range, many of them Reef brand. Have been very happy with other Origin footwear and clothing I've purchased, so I decided to splurge on a quality pair of American made leather sandals. Just got them today, and have walked about a mile in them. Nearly all of the flip flops I've owned have been tight initially, and loosened up and molded to my feet over time. Could walk miles in the sand or on the street or trail with them. The Origin sandals were a little loose initially, and loosened up more, just in the first mile I walked in them. Felt like they would constantly fall off my feet if I wasnt careful. They seem to be well made with quality materials, but dont feel like I could trust them for long walks. I'll probably just keep them for close to home, or campsite/resort use. Won't be walking very far in these.

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback about our ORIGIN® BUILT BY FREEDOM™ FLOP LEATHER SANDAL. We appreciate you taking the time to review the product and are glad to hear that you recognize the quality materials and craftsmanship.
We understand your disappointment with the fit becoming too loose during your first mile of wear, especially when you were expecting them to behave more like your previous flip flops that started tight and molded to your feet over time. Your specific feedback about the sandals feeling like they would fall off during longer walks is valuable information for our product development and fit considerations as we look at how our leather sandals perform for different foot shapes and activity levels.
Thank you for your continued support of our other Origin products and for your feedback on our mission!

Amazingly comfortable, well built and worth the investment. They are true to size. I wear a 10.5 shoe/boot but a 10 flip flop and they are perfect. These sandals are another great product from a great company

Heavy duty flip flops. Will definitely last a very long time. They are on the heavier side and will take a little to break in but once broken in seems like will last for years to come. If you like flip flops and origin boots, you'll like these. Seem on the smaller side but fits well to size- my heel goes to the very back but still fit just fine. Same size at regular shoes. Up to par qualtity wise like all Origin products.

We're so glad to hear you're loving the durability and quality of your Built By Freedom™ Flop Leather Sandals! It sounds like you really appreciate the heavy-duty construction and understand that sometimes great products need a little breaking in to reach their full potential.
