supa intrepid flip-flop!
These are comfortable and provide a lot more support than most sandals of this type. I went trail running the day after I purchased these. Coming down a trail at full sprint over rocks, roots, and loose dirt, I was surprised to find that these sandals didn't shift around, become loose, break, or trip me up in any way. They fit snug and have a thick sole. Even over rugged terrain, the bottoms of my feet were comfortable. All of this to say, I wouldn't expect flip-flops to have a long life expectancy if used in this manner often, but they did survive! I have since been using them for casual wear, and they are still like new. I wouldn't hesitate to take them back onto the trail, or wear them into work. Great all-round and versatile product.

Great flops but will get funky...
I've had a couple pairs of the Teva Mush II's and will say, they are comfortable, sure footed in most environs and long lasting. I am an adventure traveller, spend most of my time in Central and South America so I need a flop that will not absorb moisture, these do unfortunately. Once wet, they get funky quickly and unless you have time to bake em in the sun all day to kill em, they will ferment in your pack...not a good thing =( If you don't need em for hostel showers or get em wet on the street (they're big sponges did I mention that??) they're great. Just fine for the casual user, beach goer, etc. I'm not tossing mine, just need an alternative. Happy trails, Johnny

Original was better IMHO
Just bought my third pair of these. (June 2012) The first two were an earlier model. The old ones get used for everything including short hikes and warm water wet wading shoes. The sole was much stickier on the old model and it also was more form fitting to your foot and unreal comfortable. The new ones fit and hold on my feet better with a more comfortable strap. The new ones are slippery in places where the other ones were fine. All in all OK but not as versatile as the older ones. And I must disagree that [$] is inexpensive for flip flops. They are less expensive than some quality flip flops but inexpensive flip flops are $2.50 at [@].

Teva Mush II's new sizing
I wear a 13M in a running shoe and had an old pair of Mush sandals in a size 12M that fit just right. However, the new pair I ordered was too small. Definitely order true to size and half sizes order up. I had to send the pair I ordered back. If these are anything like the old Mush sandals they will hold together for a long time, but the "mush" goes away fairly quickly. At least for me, but I am 6-1.5" and weigh in at 285 lbs. Lighter weight people may not have the "loss of mush" as much as I did.
Best flip flops ever
I am a flip flop junkie and have tried just about every pair out there. These are by far the most comfortable. I think I am on my forth or fifth pair. I wear them all summer in all kinds of conditions from around town, around the lake to hiking on trials to local creeks. They do tend to wear out fast (mine last about a year) but they're flip flops and they're cheap. One thing about sizing, buy the size you normally wear. They will look too small when new but they squish out and mold to your foot.

Solid pair of inexpensive sandals
I bought these for my husband when his 10+ year old Birks finally died. The problem is, he wears a size 15/16 and has a pretty wide foot, so his options are limited. These sandals were available in larger sizes, and are not unattractive. I wish they offered a wider size though. The 15s were actually longer than I expected but fairly narrow. They've worked though, and he's happily wearing them around. And we're used to paying a small fortune for his shoes, so it was a bonus that these were inexpensive.
High end flip flops
I would never have paid this much for flip flops if I hadn't gotten a pair as a gift several years ago. The typical discount store versions would have been replaced several times by now but the ones I had are still intact and comfortable. The soles are wearing, though, so I decided to get new Teva flip flops when I saw them on sale. The old ones will stay by the door for walking the dog.

A Bomber Product at a Bomber Price
I can't believe these things. They weigh nothing, cost next-to-nothing and are extraordinarily comfortable. I'm not much of a flip-flop guy, but I bought a pair of these and a pair of the 75 dollars variety a few years back for a trip to Mexico. The 75 dollar ones tweaked my lumbar spine, were heavy, and just didn't work for me. These, OTOH, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! I suspect the soles will compress eventually. Big deal. I'll buy another pair.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE
I have not been able to wear flip-flops for 20 years because the thong would hurt me between my toes. My brother has a pair of these. As soon as I slipped them on my feet I instantly knew these were for me! I have no pain between my toes AND I love the cushiony bed for my feet too! My feet are very happy with these flops! FINALLY flops I can wear without pain.
Excellent Sandals
I bought these for my camp shoes while at the bivwack site. I have only used them on two trips but they are light weight (8oz), Extremely comfortable, great arch support, breath well so my feet dry quickly after a long day and actually stay on my feet. I have no problem slipping these on instead of my boots for the middle of the night "#1 or 2" breaks.
