Rainbow Sandals Women’s Flirty Braidy Premier Leather w/Single Braided Strap

I owned a pair of these as a teen. I grew up in Orange County, CA, close to the HQs and loved my rainbows as a young adult. Now, at 30, I decided to buy my first pair in over 10+ years.I have wide and flat feet, and they originally came out with this cute, strappy, braided design when I was starting college. This style hurt my foot as a teen, because the leather was too tight. I didn't want to buy them then, but I have been seeing my friends wearing them (we live in northern California) and knew they were getting popular. I decided to buy this to see if anything had changed, and I can say, these fit me much better, and don't leave my feet looking like sausages.I am not done breaking my rainbows in, but I wear them a little at a time and make sure to step the same way so the impression of my heel doesn't get muddled.As expected from owning 3 pairs in my youth, they felt like they were rubbing my feet the wrong way on the first day. These have a bit of leather in between the toes, unlike some other styles, and that is where they rubbed me the most.After about six 45-minute sessions while wearing these, I think they feel much better. I don't feel as much rubbing, and I can wear them for longer. I finally went out with them shopping and aside from the sole being stiff, the straps don't chafe and I have a solid foot impression going.As a middle schooler, there were people who would steal shoes from our P.E. lockers. Someone tried to steal a pair of rainbows and forgot that this is a Cinderella shoe. It only matches the owner. I don't think anyone is going to steal your sandals, but just in case, you will definitely know they're yours.Beware, as a teen, I was wreckers and woukd go-to the beach with these. Not only are they NOT made for the beach, but you should avoid water altogether. The darker the leather, the more they bleed and transfer color to your feet when wet. (Sand won't hurt them much, but it may wear the leather down if you have a lot between you and your shoe).I love this style and glad I bought another pair. Will I buy another? Absolutely, in a few months, and in a different style.

What I love about these flip flops is that they are far more substantial feeling and much better quality than my usual rubber type flip flops. I feel like they will last a very long time and will not fall apart. I also feel like they will hold up well in the heat and sun. They also just look nicer and are a little bit of a step-up from the cheaper style of flip flops, so even though they are still flip flops and still very beachy and casual, they do feel a bit more dressy than wearing some of the other rubber type of flip flops. Also, I've been wearing them for a few days straight and no blisters anywhere. They are very comfortable and I personally have not felt like they needed any kind of breaking in period.What I don't really like has to do more with my own foot than the flip flop itself. I wear a solid 8.5 wide. So I ordered a size 9. These fit in the width but are slightly too long for my foot at the toes and heel. The 8 would not have been wide enough at all as the 9 just barely fits my width. So for my 8.5 wide foot, I wish I could have ordered an 8.5 wide. I am keeping them, though, and wearing them! They are just slightly too long, but not horribly so. They are so well-made and I love everything else about them. I'm going to give them a try for a year so I can experience them in all the seasons and see how they hold up and see how it goes.

Best sandals ever! This is my fourth pair! I have different styles, and cried when my puppy chewed up my first pair of these. They break in very easily and become more and more comfortable with each time you wear them. These are such good quality I need them in every color for the summer and beach trips.

super cute and good quality.

My daughter bought them. She loves her rainbow flip-flops. Color, thickness, and weight are all part of the Rainbow quality and value. These are her second pair. I think the first pair lasted 8 years. very durable. Size is consistent, she ordered them knowing they would fit.

They are extremely comfortable and well priced for the quality.

Rainbows are all time favorites. This is a cute style and it molds to the shape of your foot. Comfortable, gets slippery in the rain but dries ok great leather color and size fits.

I’ve worn rainbows for years and just decided to get a new pair. They usually last me a few summers.They are really tight at first and have to be broken in then are very comfy. The sizing is tricky. I took a photo showing two different sizes against each other. The length was almost identical, the difference was where the arch was located. I’m usually a 9 in boots and an 8 in tennis shoes. Ended up going with the 8.5-9.5 but either could have worked.
