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.

Thanks for the 3-star review and for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about the BUILT BY FREEDOM™ FLOP LEATHER SANDAL! We're really happy to hear that you're pleased with the top-tier finish quality.
We appreciate your honest feedback about the fit, particularly the strap sizing feeling too loose for your lower-volume foot despite the length being spot-on in your usual size 13. Your perspective on how our strap design accommodates different foot volumes is incredibly valuable information for our product development team as we continue to evaluate our sizing and construction methods to ensure our sandals deliver the secure, comfortable fit that customers like you are looking for across different foot shapes and volumes.

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!

Purchased a pair of the sandals and they do not disappoint! They look good! They are overbuilt which stands to the quality of them. Great fit too. My footing feels secure. They need some breaking in and I can already see myself wearing these with pride wherever I go. Well done!

Better than I could have imagined! A perfect blend of my (former) favorite German sandal and more simple California life style. Very comfortable yet build for years of use. Can't wait to see how they fully break in over time!
