Don't wear them too long when breaking them in
I owned a pair of these as a teen. I grew up in Orange County, CA, close to the HQs and loved my rainbows as a young adult. Now, at 30, I decided to buy my first pair in over 10+ years.I have wide and flat feet, and they originally came out with this cute, strappy, braided design when I was starting college. This style hurt my foot as a teen, because the leather was too tight. I didn't want to buy them then, but I have been seeing my friends wearing them (we live in northern California) and knew they were getting popular. I decided to buy this to see if anything had changed, and I can say, these fit me much better, and don't leave my feet looking like sausages.I am not done breaking my rainbows in, but I wear them a little at a time and make sure to step the same way so the impression of my heel doesn't get muddled.As expected from owning 3 pairs in my youth, they felt like they were rubbing my feet the wrong way on the first day. These have a bit of leather in between the toes, unlike some other styles, and that is where they rubbed me the most.After about six 45-minute sessions while wearing these, I think they feel much better. I don't feel as much rubbing, and I can wear them for longer. I finally went out with them shopping and aside from the sole being stiff, the straps don't chafe and I have a solid foot impression going.As a middle schooler, there were people who would steal shoes from our P.E. lockers. Someone tried to steal a pair of rainbows and forgot that this is a Cinderella shoe. It only matches the owner. I don't think anyone is going to steal your sandals, but just in case, you will definitely know they're yours.Beware, as a teen, I was wreckers and woukd go-to the beach with these. Not only are they NOT made for the beach, but you should avoid water altogether. The darker the leather, the more they bleed and transfer color to your feet when wet. (Sand won't hurt them much, but it may wear the leather down if you have a lot between you and your shoe).I love this style and glad I bought another pair. Will I buy another? Absolutely, in a few months, and in a different style.

Most Comfortable Sandals Ever
Bought these as a gift for my girlfriend and she loves them. By far the most comfortable sandals on the market you could run a marathon in them and your feet wouldn’t even notice. Great quality and super stylish too.

Love
I love my rainbows! These are my 2nd pair, and they are so comfortable. The fit is perfect, and they are so durable. They do have arch support, so the more you wear them they form to your foot. They aren’t slippery at all which I like. They go with everything which is so perfect. The color will eventually change the more you wear them, if you get them wet, or anything like that. These are the perfect flip flops

Best Flip Flops ever!!
Literally the greatest flip flops ever!! So so comfortable and high quality, I work at a pool and can wear them for an eight hour shift and my feet do not hurt at all. They are also so cute, I ordered the espresso ones with the braid and they look adorable with any outfit. They are super light and easy for everyday wear. When you get them they are a bit stiff in the straps but with a couple wears, they will contour to your foot. I bought a 6.5-7.5 and typically wear a size 7.5. Very worth the money!

Great Quality Flip Flop
What I love about these flip flops is that they are far more substantial feeling and much better quality than my usual rubber type flip flops. I feel like they will last a very long time and will not fall apart. I also feel like they will hold up well in the heat and sun. They also just look nicer and are a little bit of a step-up from the cheaper style of flip flops, so even though they are still flip flops and still very beachy and casual, they do feel a bit more dressy than wearing some of the other rubber type of flip flops. Also, I've been wearing them for a few days straight and no blisters anywhere. They are very comfortable and I personally have not felt like they needed any kind of breaking in period.What I don't really like has to do more with my own foot than the flip flop itself. I wear a solid 8.5 wide. So I ordered a size 9. These fit in the width but are slightly too long for my foot at the toes and heel. The 8 would not have been wide enough at all as the 9 just barely fits my width. So for my 8.5 wide foot, I wish I could have ordered an 8.5 wide. I am keeping them, though, and wearing them! They are just slightly too long, but not horribly so. They are so well-made and I love everything else about them. I'm going to give them a try for a year so I can experience them in all the seasons and see how they hold up and see how it goes.
