But if you’re looking for a pair of flip-flops that provide solid traction and comfort without breaking the bank, consider the aptly-named Comfort Flip-Flops from Adidas. Reef’s Men’s Voyage Le Flip-Flops won praises for its high-end materials, short break-in, period, and overall versatility, and our tester reported that the way the footbed contours to your feet provided an almost custom-made fit. Sizes: Whole sizes from 6 to 13 | Materials: Leather, rubber The classic styling works in various settings, and the high-quality materials mean you’ll get several seasons of rigorous use without having to find another pair. The water-friendly shoe provided ample traction on wet surfaces thanks to the high-density sawtooth rubber outsole, which also amped the durability, while a contoured foam deck and a medium-density midsole provided solid out-of-the-box comfort, even though it doesn’t boast much of a rigid arch support. It took about two days and getting the flip-flops wet to reduce the chafing our tester noted at the strap in front and between the toes. It took a few days-and getting the flip-flops wet-to reduce the chafing at the front of the strap and the toeĬrafted from real leather with a three-layer rubber sole for a confident grip, the men’s Voyage Le Flip-Flop from Reef won praises for how well it molds to our tester’s feet, almost as if they were custom-made-but that was after a short break-in period. During our thorough testing process, we noted whether or not each pair required a (sometimes painful) break-in period, took note of its traction on a variety of wet and dry surfaces, and paid particular attention to the arch support, whether or not the toe post caused chafing, and evaluated the durability of the materials to validate that each one justified its price tag, wearing them in a variety of conditions and activities. In all, we tested 16 pairs of men's flip-flops-11 made the cut, and five missed the mark. But with lesser pairs, you'll quickly know what's not working, whether due to painful chafing, over-engineered or non-existent arch support, or unexpected slippage. The best flip-flops-like Reef Men's Voyage Le Flip-Flop, which won praise for its high-quality materials and a near-custom fit after a short break-in period-excel and all things without you realizing it. But baked into that seeming simplicity is a bevy of technical features that provide ample grip on wet or uneven surfaces as well as elements that cater to specific activities, whether that be merely walking on loose sand, braving a technical hiking trail, or providing some much-needed comfort after a long run. You slide in your feet and get going, your feet free to breathe and get wet while the bottoms of your feet and toes are protected from the ground below. Nothing beats the beautiful simplicity of a good pair of flip-flops.
