Okabashi Men’s Surf Flip Flops - Sandals

Solid flops, stiff and not too comfortable. BUT these are gonna last a long time and not stretch. I wear flops all summer long here in Mississippi and I love these so far. If you want "foamy" feeling flops - keep looking. These are hard-core and I'm loving them. Best part about them... USA MADE! UPDATE: After wearing these and breaking them in - LOVE them totally. Solid and great fit. Again, these are not those cushiony, soft, walk on cloud type. My favorite pair so far!

I keep buying these. I have about 6 pair and I wear them almost every day as my shoe of choice. They last a long time and are the most comfortable footwear I've ever had.

I’m a dedicated Okabashi buyer so I bought these for my husband. All of their products run a tad bit big so size down if you are not at the top of your size. He wished I had gotten a size smaller but chose to keep them because of how comfortable they are. They are like wearing an orthopedic support. They are amazing for rocky and sandy surfaces. The quality will never wear out you will have them for life! They look great and will allow you to walk, hike, stick to any surface. I own dozens of pairs and styles and I will get him a smaller pair next summer.

Purchased my first pair of Okabashi's at a local pharmacy on impulse 3-4 years ago, not thinking much of it. I mostly used it for showering at gyms because they seemed to offer great grip. It was the non-thong style and is holding up so well I bought another pair, but this time the thong-type. The only con is that they are a little heavier than most slippers and they take quite some time to break-in. They are not as soft and supple as a pair of Scott's on first fitting, but Okabashi's last long, offer better arch support, have a lot of grip for the price, and after they break-in the rubber compound softens up and turns into an great slipper especially for the price. Would recommend and buy again.

Purchase a second pair after a few years of the first pair (see review of original pair below). This pair did not need breaking in and the "tire" smell seemed to be a lot less. The Okabashi logo has now changed from the red in the online picture to (in my case) black to match the product color. I called Okabashi and was told that the logo color now matches the color of the flip flops and that they had made a small change in the product material. I am very satisfied with this new pair and may actually order yet another pair in a different color! This are very sturdy and perfect for walking around the house, yard and the beach. (old review below:) With plantar fasciitis I wear orthotics in my shoes. When I walk barefoot I experience pain. I wanted something that I could wear in the shower to alleviate the pain of standing in one spot on hard tile and that was not too fancy. These seem to do the trick. As others have mentioned, at first these do smell like a tire store, but that goes away after a short while. I was concerned about the fit at first. I am a size 10.5 Wide. At first I thought these were a touch too small and a bit too tight. After wearing these for a week they have become "broken in" and I am very happy with them. Note that these are all recycled molded rubber with no fabric, so you can get them soaking wet and dry them very quickly. These have not only become my "shower shoes" but are also my house shoes, and short excursions away from the house. Use some patience while getting these broken in and I think you will like them. I will no doubt buy another set as time goes by.

It took me a little while to get used to these sandals, but I have become a huge fan ever since. I was a Teva Mush II guy for the longest time, but the Teva's have at least two fatal flaws: 1) they stink, badly, after regular wear, and 2) the soles fall apart after not very long. These sandals NEVER SMELL. Seriously. Whatever chemical formulation they use to make these is incredible because they smell exactly the same way they did when I first bought them, over a year later. And I wear them every day for hours a day. And these sandals are COMFORTABLE! You should be aware that there is a break in period where they may not feel the most comfortable. But once they're broken in they are just fantastic feeling. Bravo!

I like how these fit on my feet however very disappointed that the material split within 3 months after occasional use indoors only. I expected them to last at least a few years. Won’t purchase this brand again. Update Aug 31,2026 - Changing rating from 1 to 4 stars because I contacted manufacturer direct and they are sending me a free replacement pair of sandals. Okoboshi offers a 2 year warranty which they honored after sending them proof of purchase and pic of broken sandal. Thank you Okoboshi for honoring your warranty promise! Fingers crossed the replacement sandals last longer this time.

Not just a pair of flip flops but flip flops for years to come!

I bought this same model about ten years ago on a whim from a local pharmacy. The rubber is dense and comfortable to wear. There is a slight texture so your feet don't slide around too much, even when wet. I've worn these camping, beach, walking, etc. and they held up nicely. The logo part near the heel did shrink a little bit after being exposed to the hot sun on multiple occasions, but never interfered with that comfort. Unfortunately, I lost one of mine crossing some rapids and was unable to find it again. This is my second pair and have been equally happy with them. I swear they'll last for life!

Diverである自分は、耐久性の高いというこのサンダルに惹かれました。 結果は大満足です。最初はキツく感じるかもしれませんが、使うたびに足に馴染んできてラクチンです。 また、過酷なScubaDivingの場面でもまったく破損せず、揺れるボートの上でも確かなグリップ力がありました。 タウンユースでも、長時間歩かない限り使い回せます。

Bought these to see if they would help relieve heel pain over time. So far so good, using this flip flop, and other measures. The flip flop itself is comfy once you get used to it. The initial impression is a relatively hard inflexible surface. I'm a size 10 in the UK, this was a size 11 and it fitted ok.
