They are the only thongs I can support. They have wide sizes for those who have toes that spread out. Thanks for reminding me...need a new pair or two. They are “the” flip flops for 4 years now.

I've pretty much worn through mine and have been thinking about getting another pair for the coming Sacramento summer... I prefer the black as well, but a color might be fun too. Maybe I should get two pairs? :) I’m so glad you’re still getting use out of those!

I simply don't believe people are telling the truth when they go on and on about how much they just love wearing them and how comfortable they are. Don't that have a bloody sore spot between their toes?? These look adorable and summery and actually like something I could wear! I’m so glad to see a fellow non-flip-flopper!

Well, that and I like the lightness of the foam.

I could never stand flip-flops either. But last year I bought some from LL Bean and they were so awesome I wore them all summer. If you ever want to try them, you can always return them if you don't like them. In the mean time, I'm going to check out those Kenas. First of all – welcome back and congratulations!

I bought myself a nice pair of Merril's this year, but don't want to wear them where they might get wrecked considing how expensive they were. eeek!! Have a great summer.

I have tried on the Keen Bali shoes but my long toes stick out of the slots awkwardly. I find most Keens to be too wide for me to wear properly, sadly. There are a few more choices of non-thong sandals out there that aren't flip-flop foam. Teva makes one, I think Merrell makes some. They might not be as flat-soled as you're looking for though. I often find very flat flip-flop slides with flowers attached to the band in spa/gift shop type boutiques and they look comfortable if not quite the thing I can get away with wearing.

I am determined to try flip flops YET AGAIN this summer, since my new podiatrist is all about the flip flop and keeping the foot in flat shoes. I don't know if I can do it. I guess I can keep wearing my Keen Bali shoes, though. I'm assuming you've tried those? And congrats, by the way, you married woman! So your feet don’t slide through and out the front of the shoe?
