Let’s talk about these SALIGNA platform flip flops—because they’re *almost* perfect. The second I slipped them on, I loved the squishy EVA foam feel. It’s like walking on marshmallows, and the wedge gives just enough height without feeling unstable. The beige color? Chef’s kiss—matches every summer outfit from sundresses to swimsuits.
But here’s the catch: arch support is basically nonexistent. As someone with flat feet, I felt the strain after a few hours at a beach bonfire. And sizing? A minefield. I’m usually an 8, but based on reviews, I sized up to a 9. Perfect fit, but friends who didn’t size up ended up with toe cleavage (not cute).
Durability is hit or miss. My first pair survived a whole summer of pool parties, but the second pair’s toe strap snapped during a grocery run. For $30-ish sandals, that stings. Also, the soles lack grip—walking on wet pavement felt like an Olympic sport.
Verdict? Buy these for their Instagram-worthy looks and cloud-like comfort, but keep receipts handy. They’re summer flings, not lifelong partners.
