Yumi Sandals, 7, Men's, Flip Flop with Orthopedic Support

I bought these in 2017 and today, 8/26/26, they started to break. The toe piece started to come out. I'm still wearing them in the house, but they'll separate any time now. How did they last 9 years? I love these and will purchase another pair. They are comfy for my average to slightly wide feet, and have just enough arch support to be helpful. I've occasionally washed them over the years and they come out looking almost new.

I bought these Spenco flip flops at the same time that I also received a pair of Sole flip flops as a gift. My podiatrist told me that if I want to wear flip flops, I need to spend the money to buy quality ones that have good arch support. (Any other foot health source will tell you the same thing.) Both of these flips are approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association and have great arch support. Also both mold themselves to your foot and are very comfortable. The big difference is that the Spenco gives you more of a barefoot, close-to-the-earth feel, while the Sole has a lot more cushion to it. I'm lucky to have both but the Sole does have more of a "foot pamper" feel while the Spenco feels more "athletic." The other difference I found is that the band that goes between the toes in the Spenco is a standard one, and I found it to take a lot getting used to, while the band in the Sole is sewn together to be more rounded and not rubbing against the insides of my toes (on my pair at least--online Amazon photos show the Sole bands to be the same type as the Spenco). I solved this problem on the Spenco by simply sewing the bands so as to make each one more like a pipe, which made a big difference in terms of foot comfort. The Sole costs about $20 more, according to Amazon prices. If you are concerned about price, you can't go wrong with the Spenco flip flops. If you want a more "bouncy" feel and don't mind spending the extra money, the Soles are a great sandal.

Excellent product!

Comfy and durable feeling, really great price and I love the pattern on them, I love the silver color as well. There's arch support and they fit comfy between the toes.

I have suffered from ankle injuries incurred in high school while playing basketball -- oh so many years ago. Back in the day you were encouraged to return to the court rapidly without giving the injured joint proper rest and rehabilitation, especially if you were the tallest person on the team. Only later did I find out that I had a poor fit between the ball of my foot and the ankle socket, allowing twisting/spraining injuries because of the loose joint. Fast forward to 40 years later and walking barefoot on hard surfaces all that time. I ended up with a stress fracture and had to have the first (of two) left ankle osteotomies. That is a lovely procedure where they cut the bone in half, reposition it, pin and screw it back together, and transplant in two new (cadaver) peroneal tendons. The surgical technique is a balancing act and the rehab long and painful. Ten years later I had the same surgery for a second time. Being older made the rehab tougher and the jury was out on whether I would walk normally again. It worked out once again but a few years ago I began experiencing the same pain. Unwilling to go through the whole deal once again, I went to a local podiatrist who recommended these sandals to force my foot back into proper alignment and take the strain off my peroneal tendons. These Spenco Yumis did the job and now I have them in several different colors. When wearing regular shoes (or boots while working in the wetlands) I put Black Superfeet arch supports in whatever I'm wearing. They do the same effective job and can be shifted to whichever footwear is needed. I can't emphasize enough how comfortable they are and the feeling of confidence they give me. Knowing that I don't have to go through an agonizing surgery and recovery once again gives me a feeling of security.

Loved the fit! I have a morton's neuroma and these have the right fit to keep it from bothering me while wearing flip flops. They are starting to get a little loser so I assume they are starting to stretch from wear, which shouldn't be unusual since I have worn these and the black ones alternate days since getting them. Comfortable with the metatarsal pad (I would actually like for it to be a bit bigger pad) and stays nicely on my foot without having to grip with my toes to keep them on. I have a slender foot and very little foot padding. I thought I wore a size 5.5 in a closed toe shoe, so I always went with a 5.5 or 6 if half sizes were not available. This shoe I went with a 5 because I wanted the met pad to be in the right spot. It is perfect where it. I wish all shoes (especially winter) were as comfortable to wear.

I am 30 years old, and have been suffering from plantar fasciitis after a half marathon I ran in several years back. Since then I have been suffering through summers with primarily tennis shoes or cowboy boots because sandals just hurt too much. I finally found these Spenco's at a local running store and decided to try them out. They were perfect! I can wear them all day without pain. I bought a second pair just to wear around the house for night/early morning and house chores. They are not high end fashion of course, but they clean easily and go with most of my casual shorts, skirts, and cropped pants. A sensible combination of style and function... and most importantly support! I will be buying the chocolate and blue color for next year.

I have had numerous problems with my feet as have many of the other reviewers - I don't really think you're shopping for this expensive of a "flip-flop" otherwise. I had extensive foot surgery 6 months ago and then and now I am really struggling looking for shoes with "better" arch supports. And I do prefer sandals. These really aren't very attractive - I think they are less attractive in person than the pictures show, and I certainly wouldn't wear them because they are "cute" or fashionable. They do have far more arch support than most any other "flat" sandal, and typical "flat" sandals just aren't an option for me due to my arch issues. BUT, the upper is SO stiff and hard that it's causing problems for me. I guess if the upper EXACTLY fits your foot it may work. It feels fine on one foot but not good on the other foot for me. But also, the arch support just does not have enough support for me. In fact, the Chaco flip-flop style sandal I've already been wearing for years, is MUCH more comfortable in all aspects for me. So back to my Chacos I go. I'm not returning these due to the inconvenience factor - I always knew this was a one way trip, but thought I would take a chance. Live and learn!

The item is fake and I will return it. Why Amazon allows fake items to be sold on it's portal.

Anche se il prodotto che mi è arrivato non è esattamente il modello da me ordinato (è per questo che ho messo 4 stelle), la ciabatta è comunque ottima sia nella calzata che nella comodità e anche cromaticamente non mi dispiace. Rispecchia a pieno le caratteristiche qualitative che mi aspettavo

I loved my sandals, I wasn’t expecting them to look so nice

They are so comfortable, can’t wait till I get home from work to put them on. Definitely seem to help my sore aching feet money well spent.

I am very disappointed! I have worn Spenco Yumi's for over 5 years now and gone through 2 pairs. They fit me like a glove and have never had a problem when purchasing them from a local specialist show store near me. I ordered these Spenco Yumis, which have the same footbed which works for me best after 2 ankle surgeries and chronically flat feet. They are truly a need rather than a "want". When I opened them I knew right away they were going to be too big. In fact about 2.75 inches too big!!! I checked the ones I am wearing now and they show the code W8 and then the sizes for other Countries. The code on these are M7 which are for me. No where in this listing did it say that these were Men's Yumi's. There is no way these are ladies. Men's shoe sizes definitely fit differently than ladies sizes too. The saddest part is...when I clicked on my order, it said "No Returns Accepted". That is over $80.00 that I have spent with nothing to show for it!!! Shame on Amazon.ca and Shame on the Seller who misrepresented the sandals I have worn every summer and reliable upon during our 90 degree plus weather currently!
