Are these good for walking long distances?

No. The soft EVA sole and thong strap suit short trips to the beach, pool or shower. For long walks, a sandal with arch support and a firmer outsole holds up better.

Do they run true to size?

Flip flops like these usually fit true to size, but the wide EVA footbed can feel loose on narrow feet. If you are between sizes, size down for a snugger strap.

Yes. The EVA sole and straps are water-friendly, so they handle sand, pool water and showers and dry quickly.

How much height does the thick sole add?

The platform is chunky by flip-flop standards, so it lifts you noticeably off the ground and cushions the heel. It is not a substitute for a supportive shoe.

Can I wear them in the shower?

Yes. EVA does not absorb water and dries fast, which makes them a common pick for gym showers and shared bathrooms. The smooth sole can be slippery on wet tile.
