Hi Christopher,

Thanks for taking the time to share such detailed feedback on the Built By Freedom Flop Leather Sandals and for being such a loyal Origin customer! We're glad to hear that everything else in your collection has been hitting the mark for you, and we really appreciate you recognizing what Origin stands for with our USA sourcing and manufacturing.

We sincerely appreciate you bringing up the comfort issues you're experiencing, particularly with the firmness of the sole and the stitching placement where the straps meet. Your feedback about the stitching and its irritation gives us valuable insight into specific construction details that are impacting the wearing experience, especially during that critical break-in period.

Thank you for your honest feedback about the design considerations and how they're affecting the overall comfort performance. This kind of detailed input about both the sole firmness and the strap construction helps us understand exactly how these sandals are performing in real-world wear and whether we're delivering the comfort that matches the quality and craftsmanship you've come to expect from your other Origin gear.
