The sandals look great and appear durable but won’t work for me. There is no arch or respective support and as a result cause aching in short order. The soles are solid rubber with no give. Possibly over time they would soften but again the flat food bed is the primary issue.

As expected, finish on these is top tier. I am a little disappointed in the fit. I wear a size 13 in other flip flop makers, due to length. While the length is spot on with these, it seems the straps are sized for a higher-volume foot. I have a lower volume foot and so it feels like I’m swimming in these a bit. Will probably see if a cobbler can modify.
Fit is the only reason for three stars; other than that these are great.

NormalWhat is your height? 5' 10"How old are you? 25-34What is your weight? 151-175Rated 2 out of 5 stars4 days agoFitment is too loose, they slide right off your foot.
I love origin and most of what they have made. I know these are the first generation of this flip flop and I’m sure they’ll improve in the future. One thing about flip flops is that they have to be able to stay on your feet when you’re walking, depending on foot size and width. These do not. The fitment of the leather strap is too loose in my opinion and I wish they were tighter on my feet. They slide off my foot when walking. Just needs to tighter and more form fitting.

The sandals look very nice and fit well. I ordered one size up as usually do to insure the length is good for me. I would recommend anyone ordering these do the same.
Now for the reason I knocked one star off… These feel like I am walking on concrete, there’s no cushioning whatsoever. I wore them approximately 7 days and they have not gotten any more comfortable. It’s the end of summer and the weather is changing so this will get put away until the spring and hopefully with more time in them, they will become more comfortable.

Thanks for the detailed feedback on the Origin® Built By Freedom™ Flop Leather Sandals! We're glad to hear they look great and the fit is working well for you - and that sizing tip about going up one size is really helpful for other customers.
We appreciate you being honest about the cushioning. We know the firmer footbed isn't for everyone, and it's definitely something that can take some time to break in. Some customers find that the leather does soften up and become more comfortable with more wear, so hopefully when you bring them back out in the spring, they'll start feeling better for you.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the Built By Freedom™ Flops and for the sizing recommendation!

These are probably the most sturdy sandals I've ever had. The second I slid my feet in, they felt solid yet still comfortable. The boot pull tab used as the toe strap works well and is also comfortable. I've work these all day a few times since I've gotten them and they wear all day very well. If this is any indication of long term durability, these things will last a long time

That's awesome, the Origin® Built By Freedom™ Flop Leather Sandals are delivering for both sturdiness and comfort right from the start! It sounds like that boot pull tab toe strap is working exactly like we hoped it would.
We love hearing when someone can tell our gear is built to last just from those first impressions. With the way you're describing how they feel and perform after wearing them all day multiple times, you're definitely getting a good sense of what these sandals are made of.
Thanks for taking the time to share how the Built By Freedom™ Flops are treating you!
