When walking the boardwalk- there was no sand under the thongs- they started to chafe on the top of the foot. It was a cool day, too. I think it's the round leather that sits on the foot that's making it uncomfortable.

I put them on, took one step, and took them off. The outside band of the shoe hurt my feet enough on each step that I can't afford the pain of break-in time.

They were pretty uncomfortable when I tried them on. The straps look a little weird and the soles were kind of stiff.
With a little work, these are great By knitey from Washington DC Metro on 03/08/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Stable Cons: Needs Break-in, Tacky logo on straps Best Uses: Backpacking, Barbecues, Beach, Camping, Everyday, Going Out Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I need a lot of performance out of my flip flops and therefore have a hard time finding one that meets all of my needs: a) comfortable b) supportive c) isn't slippery when it gets wet d) sturdy - doesn't blow out and leave me stranded e) can go from beach to shower to dinner f) attractive g) lightweight h) not bulky. I ordered these in black for a backpacking trip to Puerto Rico after reading that they have an anti-slip footbed and outsole because its suprisingly difficult to find a decent looking flip flop with this quality! After a bit of work I am very pleased with them and ordered 2 more pair.
First of all, they are stiff when you first get them so you need to spend some time breaking them in before you live in them. After the break-in they are very comfy. Second, as another reviewer noted, these do have the Patagonia name prominently displayed on the straps (look at the black pair in the product picture to best see this.) This really detracts from the look of the sandal. I scraped the logo off both of the sandals, but that left a dull looking spot on the leather strap, so I bought some crystals from a craft store and glued them on the strap where the logo used to be with gem glue. (Sequins would work too.)
Now I have a cute and comfy sandal that meets all of my requirements and have even received compliments on them. These have become an essential part of my backpacking and camping gear for warm/hot climates but they also work well for daily wear.
So far they've held up. The anti-slip footbed and outsole work amazingly well and the leather straps didn't bleed color on my foot when they got wet. I expect to have to reglue some crystals periodically but that's no big deal considering what I put them through.
Highly recommend if you are willing to put a little work into them.
