Good for you Steve and thanks for the followup! SmileWavy

My order isn't supposed to arrive until mid-week....

Those Adidas Are great for water activity like washing your car or after you get out of the shower or swimming pool because those little bumps? drain the water off under your foot. You DO have to get used to them, takes about a day. My Olukai's are my dress sandal. Ha!

A couple of years ago, REI was having a big sale of some sort and my wife talked me into not only getting my first pair of flip-flops in probably 20-25 years, but I also somehow ended up with a pair of Olukai "dress" flip flops.

I think they are these or something very similar

If there is a slapping sound coming from my feet! It's from birkenstocks.

I got humiliated at ping pong by a guy wearing those. He called them his "slaps"

So glad to hear this! I thought it was just me and my wimpy feet. I have a pair, and re-try them periodically and always have the same experience as peteremsley!!!

Hearing that it is "normal" to have to get used to them, I may give them another try. The concept of a "slide" is much more appealing than the "thong" idea for me if I am going to wear some kind of flip flop. I never really quite get used to the strap between the toe on normal flip flops, so if I am going to try to get used to something, I think I will try the bed of needles!!!!

I'm shocked, the Crocs flip flops that I bought back in 2017 finally had the toe strap break on the right foot. I don't wear them that much. I guess that was 4.5 years, which isn't bad for inexpensive flip-flops in the grand scheme of things. I need another pair. I don't wear them often, but I do wear them from time to time.
