In that I normally require a 10.5 size, I ordered two pair, (10.5 and 11). Returned the 11. Guess not wearing socks made the difference. These sandals are the perfect fit for Florida. The sole can get wet without any water retention. The upper leather allows for easy dress up or down (bathing suit, jeans or dockers). The sole is very comfortable, especially once I've worn them, then to compare try one of my friends sandals for a moment; they seem like toys in comparison. I've compared them to: crocks, teva, rainbow and reef, and these Sperrys are by far better. The materials are top shelf. If your tendancy is to buy/use the best, these are the clear winner.

I have had quite a few pairs of Sperry sandals in the past. This pair is by far the best. The slightly upturned toe keeps you from tripping, unlike the older models. Very comfortabe, when I get home I take off my dress shoes and put on my Sperry sandals.

Great product! As noted in other reviews, it takes a couple of weeks to break them in. After that, one of the most comfortable thongs I have ever owned, and I've owned all of the top brands. Also, the selection and service at Zappos is all it is advertised to be. Overall, great experience.

First time I ordered shoes on Internet. I have had Sperry Top-Sider shoes for more than 25 years. These Sandals are so comfortable that I could not believe they fit perfectly, like a pair of gloves. When I ordered my sandals I also ordered a pair of shoes size 9.5 (also perfect fit). I currently have a pair of 9.5 shoes. Sandals were either 9 o 10 so 10 was my pick.

Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, these are the best "flip-flops" you will ever buy. Great sole for boating. Tolerates water well. Get them.

These are great and my husband loves them the only thing wrong with them is the sole is soft and it scuffs easily on the toe part. Great looking.

My husband loves these sandals. I foolishly tried to find them in stores, but couldn't. Then it hit me: "try Zappos" and there they were and now here they are on my husband's feet. He's happy and so am I!

Great shoe for walking. A more stylish flip-flop. Takes a little breaking in due to good, thick leather between toes. This was my first purchase from Zappos and it has been a fantastic experience.

I had this sandal for a long time and left them at the beach one day while boating. I was looking at other styles and nothing compared! After buying and returning three other kinds I ended up buying this one again and I'm thrilled I did. They are sturdy and comfortable. I love them!

Bought the best every day flip flops I have ever bought. Bought them to replace a basic pair I had bought from a store and loved and wore for three years. These are one of the few flip flops which have a thick enough sole where daily wear won’t break down your feet. Most of the others are quite flimsy. After much searching, I highly recommend these, even for the high price. Have had them for a couple months and they seem to be wearing well. Only thing to consider is that the initial break in with the leather strap between the toes rubs at first, but after a week or two of grinning and bearing, it loosens up and conforms to the inside of your toes.

These sandals are very nice! Too bad Sperry only makes them for men. I am a woman’s size 7 medium. I can get away with wearing the men’s size medium. Woman’s size 8 is really a men’s size 7. Sperry only makes slippery, flat products for women, but the men’s sandals work well in water, on the beach, and on land for all occasions; and the price is right. Order the darkest color you can for women, they look a little better. I also ordered the weaved thong for men in a 7 and they are just too big for me. So this is your only option if you are a woman and want a really good sandal. My last one just finally broke at the toe. I wore them for 5 years.

Purchased the Sperry Top-Sider Santa Cruz Thong. Own Reefs and Cobians already. This is great thong! Molded foot is very comfortable and secure fit. The toe is slightly curved/raised which gives great protection. The leather upper is high quality. I wear this pair for going out. This is by far the best thong that I have. Incredible value at the price. Zappos service was its usual fabulous. Order delivered in one day at no extra charge.

Great thong!!! Dynamite fit. Nice and snug. Great arch support; nice heel padding. They won't slip off and it does feel like you can run in them, like another reviewer stated. These will last a few years at least. I would order a size larger than you normally take though.

Flip-Flops On Steroids - Great sandal. Tons of tracking, I actually ran about a mile in them the other day. I don't recommend that, but if you have to, you can be assured that they will hold up. They look great with shorts and denims as well.

Comfy Flip Flops - I wear flip flops year round for work and play. I have tried a lot of thongs, and the Sperry Santa Cruz thong is the best. I work at a marine fuel dock, so I am jumping on and off boats all day. These thongs have a good grip inside and out and are very comfortable. They are the BEST.

Great all around thong - They are comfortable, durable & look good. What I really like about them is I can wear them to the beach or out on the town. I also own the gold cup thongs which are super comfortable and look even nicer, but are twice as much money and I won’t wear them to the beach or get them wet only because they are my favorite thongs. You can't go wrong with Sperry thongs, great buy!!!!!!

The best flip-flop ever!! This is my third pair of this style of Sperry. I have had many different flip-flop style sandals over the years and this is the most comfortable I've EVER encountered. The toe strap is made of soft leather so there is never an issue with chafing between your toes. There is more arch support in this sandal than most of the shoes I have ever worn. You can't go wrong with Zappos. Free overnight shipping and free return shipping make this a much cheaper and easier buying process than driving to your local (or not so local) store and then hoping they have your size in stock.
