SpencoWomen's Yumi Metallic Sandal

I have never been this excited about flip-flops until my plantar-fasciitis-suffering feet put on these babies!
I have been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis when I was 28. Foot (and leg and lower back, consequently) pain has progressively worsened as I age. I use Super Feet orthotics for my shoes, but I don't like wearing shoes when I am at home. We have stained concrete floors, so when I do things that require me to stand for extended periods of time, my feet suffer. I have tried Crocs flip-flops; they work for about 6 months, then the material compresses and doesn't provide cushion and arch support anymore. Plus, they're overpriced. Enter Spenco. I have had them on for a couple of hours, and they feel great on my feet. These Spencos fit well and give me the arch support I need. The material seems durable and definitely more firm than my Croc flip-flops. You can't beat the price; just compare it to Ortaheel and other orthotic flip-flops. I'll just have to see how Spenco holds up to everyday use.

Stylish but still ok for plantar fasciitis...
I am 30 years old, and have been suffering from plantar fasciitis after a half marathon I ran in several years back. Since then I have been suffering through summers with primarily tennis shoes or cowboy boots because sandals just hurt too much.I finally found these Spenco's at a local running store and decided to try them out. They were perfect! I can wear them all day without pain. I bought a second pair just to wear around the house for night/early morning and house chores. They are not high end fashion of course, but they clean easily and go with most of my casual shorts, skirts, and cropped pants.A sensible combination of style and function... and most importantly support!I will be buying the chocolate and blue color for next year.

wonderfully comfortable & cute
I love these shoes. They fit. They are cute as can be. They are comfy. They provide support. I live in Miami, where owning a pair of flip flops is virtually required. My only issue is really with my feet/body, not the shoes. When I wore these for two days, in place of my more supportive berkies, I had some knee pain. So, I love these and wear them, but cannot live in them. Enjoy them!

FANTASTIC- need to make it in other colors. I would like to see this design in a wedge, I could use some height for dresses
Loved the fit! I have a morton's neuroma and these have the right fit to keep it from bothering me while wearing flip flops. They are starting to get a little loser so I assume they are starting to stretch from wear, which shouldn't be unusual since I have worn these and the black ones alternate days since getting them. Comfortable with the metatarsal pad (I would actually like for it to be a bit bigger pad) and stays nicely on my foot without having to grip with my toes to keep them on. I have a slender foot and very little foot padding. I thought I wore a size 5.5 in a closed toe shoe, so I always went with a 5.5 or 6 if half sizes were not available. This shoe I went with a 5 because I wanted the met pad to be in the right spot. It is perfect where it. I wish all shoes (especially winter) were as comfortable to wear.

Best orthopedic flip flops you can find!
I had foot surgery back in 2015. It's safe to say I've tried about every brand out there, and basically live in my Birkenstocks! However, I have been a fan of Vionic/Orthoheel and Oluhuai in the past but discovered the Spencos last year and have never looked back. I now have three pair. They are SO LIGHTWEIGHT and so comfortable. Vionics are heavy but get the job done. Spenco has managed to make them super lightweight and still accomplish supporting my feet. You won't go wrong with these! I wear an 8 and they run true to size.

Not Great, Didn't Work for Me
I have had numerous problems with my feet as have many of the other reviewers - I don't really think you're shopping for this expensive of a "flip-flop" otherwise. I had extensive foot surgery 6 months ago and then and now I am really struggling looking for shoes with "better" arch supports. And I do prefer sandals.These really aren't very attractive - I think they are less attractive in person than the pictures show, and I certainly wouldn't wear them because they are "cute" or fashionable. They do have far more arch support than most any other "flat" sandal, and typical "flat" sandals just aren't an option for me due to my arch issues. BUT, the upper is SO stiff and hard that it's causing problems for me. I guess if the upper EXACTLY fits your foot it may work. It feels fine on one foot but not good on the other foot for me. But also, the arch support just does not have enough support for me. In fact, the Chaco flip-flop style sandal I've already been wearing for years, is MUCH more comfortable in all aspects for me.So back to my Chacos I go. I'm not returning these due to the inconvenience factor - I always knew this was a one way trip, but thought I would take a chance. Live and learn!

OMG Shocked The Best Sandals Ever!!!!!
I would like to say to anyone suffering from Plantar Fascitis this sandal is a must. This sandal performs as claimed. My heel pain has decreased immensely. I walked in the mall with these sandals a task I could never do without suffering some type of pain during the walk or after the walk. It was a casual walk just window shopping. However, the point I am trying to make is the sandal is comfortable and reduces pain. I plan on buying several pairs of these sandals. Actually I think I might buy a pair to use as slippers in the house. The price is worth the results of reduced pain and comfort. Now to the company can you please invent shoes that produce the same results. I Love My "SPENCO YUMI" Sandals. If I could I would give them more stars.

Super-cute, super-comfy
I adore this sandal. Super-cute even on my chubby little toes and a really pretty but different color. It's not pink, not quite red, not orange. I think of salmon as kind of peachy-orange but it's more of a soft metallic reddish color that makes feet look really cute. They fit perfectly and would be comfortable for most people. I have a fairly serious case of long-term PF and although they're not hard-hard, they're a little firm for me to wear more than a couple of hours or so if I'm walking. Highly recommend.

I was sent a Mens Size 7 Spenco Yumi Flip Flop Sandal and it is HUGE! With NO RETURNS
I am very disappointed! I have worn Spenco Yumi's for over 5 years now and gone through 2 pairs. They fit me like a glove and have never had a problem when purchasing them from a local specialist show store near me. I ordered these Spenco Yumis, which have the same footbed which works for me best after 2 ankle surgeries and chronically flat feet. They are truly a need rather than a "want". When I opened them I knew right away they were going to be too big. In fact about 2.75 inches too big!!! I checked the ones I am wearing now and they show the code W8 and then the sizes for other Countries. The code on these are M7 which are for me. No where in this listing did it say that these were Men's Yumi's. There is no way these are ladies. Men's shoe sizes definitely fit differently than ladies sizes too. The saddest part is...when I clicked on my order, it said "No Returns Accepted". That is over $80.00 that I have spent with nothing to show for it!!! Shame on Amazon.ca and Shame on the Seller who misrepresented the sandals I have worn every summer and reliable upon during our 90 degree plus weather currently!

The most comfortable sandals ever
They are so comfortable, can’t wait till I get home from work to put them on. Definitely seem to help my sore aching feet money well spent.
