i’m in sandals everyday. olukai’s are just too bulky and heavy for me, even though i do still wear a pair from time to time.
these are my everyday flip flops..
i never use the bottle opener but it gives great support with my high arch

When wearing shorts, I only wear flip flops, unless there is a need for sneakers (running, working out, etc). That’s my cardinal rule. I’ll get bashed if I go into the details

I wear Island Slipper and The North Face flip flops. The ones I wear are fairly supportive all around with decent arch support and light weight, which are my requirements.

Flip flops everyday here in South FL for 30 years. 0.00 issues.

Spenco flip flops.

Best I have ever owned, hands down. Even has arch support and they have lasted for years.

Olukai are the best I've had. I like their boat shoes also.

I don't wear flip flops much but I have a couple pairs of Adidas classic adilette slides. They go pretty well with much everything.

Rainbows for me, the double thick ones. I wear them in the house during the summer, instead of slippers.

I second the chacos. The arch support is the best i have worn. I am on my 3rd pair. I love wearing flip flops and would wear them 365 if i could.

I live in sandals 6 months out of the year!

I love some Olukai models. Many have much too agressive an arch and heel drop for me.

Island slippers have been the most comfortable overall, but their quality took a nose dive a few years ago.

Might try Rainbows next after seeing so many positive comments here.

olukais are great, wife and daughter have numerous pairs of their slippahs and shoes. I have problems with my feet so those don't fit me. I now wear Abeos because they offer better arch support and are just as comfortable.

I have 4 pairs of Rainbows, they are the only sandals I'll buy. I wear them probably 8 months out of the year.

Olukai leather sandals for me. I think someone here on TRF suggested that on another sandals thread so I tried it out and have been using it ever since (going on 3 years). Very comfortable with arch support.
