Telic Energy Flip Flop - Comfort Sandals for Men and Women

I have plantar fasciitis and summer is always a problem because I love to wear sandals, but they are murder on my arches. I wear orthotics the rest of the year, and then comes summer, and I have to go around flat footed. I first bought the Oofos sandal and love those! I wanted a second pair and decided to try the Terox. They are equally wonderful and fit about the same. The arch support helps my feet so much and the spongy-like cushioning gives amazing shock absorption, which protects my feet from all-day fatigue. I have always gone barefoot around the house, and it has finally dawned on me that I need to protect my arches all day, so I use my second pair in the house now. For me going barefoot is a difficult habit to break, but I am wearing them at home about 70% of the time now and that seems to be helping. I suggest wearing these sandals for a couple hours a day and work up because the realignment due to the arch support takes your body a little getting used to.This type of sandal may not be for everyone who likes cute little sandal styles, but I simply have to go with comfort and protection. I have the thong style so cannot comment on the slide.I also tried the Zori, Orthoheel, and Spenco with great hopes they would work for me. They are very nice sandals and also fit a wide foot and have pretty good arch support, but the sole material is just too hard and they do not provide the step recovery I need. Love these sandals. They're like walking on little pillows.

Wearing theses is like walking on marshmallows. I have trouble with my feet and these have saved me. I have several pairs. Early on I had trouble with sizing (a few yrs ago) but now the sizing seems pretty standard. I've tried other brands: Vionics, Orthotics, and others, but I keep coming back to these mainly because they are so soft. They give the support I need for my pitiful flat feet and they don't flop around like most of the others do because they conform to my foot-not too loose, not tight, just right. They last a very long time. I still have the first pair I ever purchased. They're pretty beat up from working in the yard, painting, etc. but otherwise they're still wearable. They're kind of plain but I've decorated a few pairs with yarn or bling to dress them up a little. I live in Florida so I honestly wear them every day. I can't say enough good things about them. My only challenge is finding my size at better prices. If I'm patient I can sometimes find a pair on Amazon for around $20+. But more often the best I can find is in the $35 range. Well worth it. They're advertised as being made in the USA but some people have commented on them saying 'made in China'. All of mine have a USA flag stamped on them. Some have 'made in the USA' stamped on them as well, but none say 'made in China'. Some don't. I really can't tell any difference in them. I LOVE Telics.

These TELIC Energy Flip Flops are exactly as promised. I like how well they nicely support my arches and yet they are cushiony soft. I can't express enough how comfortable they are. They allow you to have a nice bounce in your step. I wear these all day everyday during the summer and indoors year round. I also like the variety of colors offered. I purchased Melted Crayon to match up with different color schemes I wear. I absolutely love them! They're pricey so definitely get them when they have a special sale.

I bought two pairs—one for home and another to wear outside. After trying at least 10 different types of shoes, sandals, and flip-flops, this was the only footwear that provided relief and allowed me to be mobile again. I was worried I might never walk again due to my severe plantar fasciitis, but these flip-flops give me hope. While I still can't run or walk long distances, I can at least run errands and move around the house because of them. TELIC offers other shoes and sandals with arch support, which I also tried but ended up returning. I took off one star because the flip flops expand after a few days and become loose around the foot. Given the high price, I expected the shape to last longer. I'm not sure if there's a way to restore their original shape, but I might try wearing them with socks to see if that helps.

Comfortable, practical & great colour.

Very comfortable , great support & long life. Not slippery when on wet pavement like some others .

I ordered a half dozen pairs of sandals recently looking for something casual and comfortable to wear. I wasn't going for style, but comfort for padding on my toes and heels instead of being barefoot. The Telic Unisex flip flop andals and the OOFOS Unisex flip flop sandals seemed similar. I generally wear a womens 7.5 or a European 38 but had tried on a pair of OOFOS in store and was able to comfortably wear their size 7-5 (which is a womens 7, mens 5), and with many reviews saying to order a size up I ordered a size 8 in this style. These run much smaller. Compared to the size 7/5 OOFOS which I ordered at the same time you are able to see the difference. Ordering a size up from what I generally wear and they were still much narrower than I'd have expected, and were just short enough that the fit wasn't possible. Perhaps if I'd ordered two sizes up it may have worked but I'm turned off my the incosistency in sizing, however, having recieved another shipment of the Mallory and the Z-Strpa version Telic make, both in a size 9, I'd have to say even that is questionable for fit. I'm also not impressed with the quality. The material and construction of the 3 Telic sandals I ordered all together reminded me more of the sandals you can buy at Dollar General or similar stores. One pair (the Mallory) arrived with a strap torn. Unless the price drops substantially, and you are able to try on first or are willing to order several sizes, I would avoid these. Like many things with Amazon, returns are easy with the Prime shipping and returns. That is the only positive thing with buying the Telic sanals.

very comfortable / sizing needs to be checked before ordering

Delivery was fast from USA. Very soft and comfortable for my flat feet. However there is no longer Made In USA embossed on the sandals. Checked with the local distributor and they confirmed that the Telic sandals are now made in China.

one need to be careful with the sizes, the sizes are large xlarge xxlarge it does not specify the the shoe size or comparison between the sizes. the sandal is very soft and comfortable

This product is pricy but I still went for it because during household chores I was feeling pressure in my ankle area and thought of going with this orthopedic sandal. But in my case, it did not help. I usually don't buy footwear online due to fitment issue but the sandal fitted perfectly
