Verified purchase: After reading sample size of all the reviews on this footwear, I found a mixed bag of opinions (meaning personal preferences).For my requirements which were for a heavy duty pair of slides in black. I'm outside 24 hours a day in the summertime around my land. So required a rugged pair of slides, which breathed.These slide have hit the mark for me thus far. I was, and I continue to be very satisfied with the purchase. I read several reviews concerning the sizing that they actually deliver, it is true that the slides are not sized “visually imprint” by inches at all per se, but by the large “L” on the sole indicating “Large”. So just to verify what other reviewers have indicated the size is actually distributed by category (S,M,L, XL etc.), not at all by Inches (sizes)...and so as to share with the community I ordered the size 8.5 to 9 and and the fit was more than adequate...and so you understand further, I were a size 9 truly.This information will hopefully offer a point of reference for future consumers.In addition, the soles are thick and quite durable. There are plenty of air inlets cuts in the design of the flap that covers' the top of the foot. The design is extremely helpful and purposefulness as the cuts permit the skin to breathe more, rather than all covered in the rubbery material which the slides are primarily composed of.Understanding that if you are completely switching brand and style or design in slides that you currently using or were using, that these may perhaps some getting use too. It's just different and difference or change is not a so-called bad thing. It's just different. Personal choice.
