Boy did I want to love these...They are cuter than similar styles by Chaco, etc., and in typical Earth fashion the footbed is fantastic - great support, just fit like a glove. I wear a 9 and the 9's were the perfect length, with a little extra at the top of the toes for those with longer digits. HOWEVER, looking at the style you would think the strap system would distribute the thong pressure, unlike a typical beach thong. Wrong - all the pressure lands on the second toe and cuts into it and the straps along the rest of the foot are functionally loose (though they look good). If you have fleshier feet, the rest of the straps might help, but the second toe may suffer more! These flip like a typical flip flop. So while they look summer fashionable, they are hard to wear for long walking to get the benefits of Earth shoes...
