Have high arches and my spenco (big 5) otrthotic flip flops broke after only a year. Just got some black double layer rainbows a week ago. Feeling good...hope they last longer!
I've had my Rainbow double layers for over 3 years now. They get more and more comfortable as they mold to your feet. Foam has teeth marks (battle scars lol) from our dog. The leather footbed separated a little by the toes this year, easily fixed with a little Shoe Goo. Soles are still intact, but definitely gotten slick by the heels.
Thank god I’m not the only one with so many sandals and shoes, I bought some Olukai’s this summer and they’re amazing but since I have flat arches and wide feet, finding the fit for any sandals or footwear is difficult, I’m a size 8.5 but with Olukai’s I had to size up to a 10! The strap narrows and it felt tight against my foot near the bottom of the arch, I’m curious about those Rainbows, since they are foam and have arch support I’ll definitely give them a go, my Olukai’s aren’t for long walks eventually my heel aches since it’s not very cushioned nor should u really wet then since the material on the footbed becomes slippery but thankfully with a firm pad of a towel that’ll dry them up np
The Rainbows feel stiff and flat at first, but once the straps stretch a bit and your foot sinks into the foam they mold nicely to your foot and they just get more and more comfortable. I also have low arches and wide feet, but my feet are low volume so straps never really felt tight for me. For longer walks on pavement/flat terrain/etc., the birkenstocks still win for support and comfort imho, but I like them all.
Man this was a good review you did of all your sandals. I have a pair of birkenstocks Arizona's & Rainbows black Leather flip flops 🩴 & Reef Fanny flip flops 🩴. My birkenstocks won't fit my anymore because I have big very very Extremely wide feet 🦶 sz15 6E wide with very chubby fat wide toes that are Evenly straight across making my foot very very Extremely wide at 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe. So I know what you mean about wide feet 🦶 man. The straps on my birkenstocks will fit over top of my foot. My rainbow the problem I am having with them is the straps that go in between your big toe and your 2nd toe on the top of my foot it is very very Uncomfortable & it gives me a red spot on the top of my foot. I really do like my rainbow but I can't wear them with pain like that my foot. My Reef Fanny flip flops 🩴 is what I am wearing now & they feel awesome on my feet 🦶. Only problem is I just wish they was a lil bit wider because both of my lil toes hang off the footbed of my flip flops 🩴. I also got me a pair of bedrock sandals too & I am loving them. I like how easy it is to put them on for people like me that have very extremely wide feet 🦶. With me having very chubby fat wide toes that are Evenly straight across I can put the sandals on really fast. My Reef Fanny flip flops 🩴my toes are wider than the flip flops 🩴straps & it's a lil Difficult to put on for me. It would have been nice to see what the sandals would look like being on. I am looking for some Olukai flip flops 🩴 to wear. I like them too because they are big boys & wide friendly. My boss has a pair of them & he is a size 16 3 E wide & he told me to get a pair. Again good video buddy thanks you for sharing it.
Glad you liked the video. After trying several pair of Olukais, I find the Hokua and Ohana have some of the widest foot beds for the brand. Their more expensive all leather Hiapo and Mea Ola also have decently wide foot beds ( still not quite as wide as the Hokua and Ohana) and are "dressier " but the all-leather toe post was too stiff and painful for my taste.
You are great. Very knowledgeable. Enjoyed listening to you. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
