I read the review that zappos has the sizing wrong and so I went up a size, they are way too big. The sizing is not off. The problem is, I purchased these 16 years ago before they became popular and they were good quality and very comfortable and now I think there is a company that was set up to mass produce these and the quality went way down and the sizing is all bizarre. Depends where each distributor buys their shoes from but these are not the ones from way back. Now it is just brand, they are not any better than the ones I purchased for $5 at Old navy but they used to be awesome and last forever. now they break easily and are stiff and well, like any $5 pair of flip flops. I think if you are an 8.5-9, you have to get the 39/40 not the 41/42. I will be exchanging mine .

Straps are very wide which allows my foot to slide forward and my toes to hang over the front of the sandal. Cute sandals but wouldn't repurchase.

I am a US size 6.5/7, but based on other reviews, I ordered the Brazilian converted 7/8. The length of the flipflop fits fine. The straps are very loose and are kind of 'higher' than normal flips so they don't hug my foot. I'm going to keep them, but I think next time, I would go one size smaller (I do not have wide feet).

Love these flipflops but, unlike the style with wider strap, these won't stay on my narrow foot.
Wish Havajanas ' sizing was consistent.

This is my second pair in 5 years. If you haven't worn anything but cheapies, you will never wear those again. These last forever and are so comfortable. It is the natural rubber that is so durable instead of cheap foam I believe. Now on to the tricky part- fit. First of all, if you have a wide foot do not consider these. If you are narrow to regular they should be perfect. Here's the problem. The sizing has changed from my older pair. I figured I would stick with the same Brazilian size- bad idea. I wore a 39-40 in my old pair and it said 7-8 on the shoe. This pair is 39-40 as well and the shoe says 9-10. So these run bigger than the old Brazilian sizing. I kept them anyway, but could have gone down. Because of this issue I did not give a perfect rating.

I love the style and the flip flop itself, however the width is much narrower than other products. Size, length wise, was true to size, but much narrower than usual products.

Unfortunately these Havianas have decreased in quality. They have thinner soles and the soles have less cushion (compared them to my old pair which are well worn but still thicker and softer).

Good shoes for the beach, don't run in between the toes but no support.

The sizing is off on these Havaianas -- I have a pair of the Slim Animal style and the 7/8 fits great. The 7/8 in this shoe in the rose gold is about 1/2 inch shorter and too small. Am sending these back and suggest sizing up, at least for the rose gold slim. Great shoes though; am ordering a larger size.

They just do not fit my feet well. I am an 8.5-9N in street shoes. The slims fit better than the regular in width and would work if the length sizes were different. The 7/8 is too short, and the 9/10 is long. I wish they made 8/9.

I love my Havianas, the color is great; however, in the past two years I feel like the quality has gone downhill. I have many pairs of these flips and only wear size 37/38 and each pair fits completely different. With this pair I just ordered are the smallest 37/38. Could have gone a size bigger. The color is great; the quality and sizing have gone downhill.

The color of these flip-flops is perfect but the ridge on the thong hurt terribly. I finally gave up and am returning them. I am so disappointed.

Unfortunately, these broke a few weeks after I bought them. They seemed cheaper than Havaianas that I have had in the past...

I love these flip flops and having a difficult time finding the size I normally wear 4/5. I ordered 5/6 (based on suggestions on Zappos) but my actual shoe size is 5. The size on shoes are 6W and they are very big.

I have been buying the slim Havianas for years and have always been pleased with the quality of these flip flops. They are thick, comfortable and long lasting. I recently ordered a black pair to add to my collection and was so disappointed when I received them in the mail. I'm not sure if I just got a bad pair or if Havianas has decided to cheapen their product. This particular pair was so much thinner than all my other pairs. They felt cheap like the $5 ones you can get at Target. I'm not returning them because it's just a pair of flip flops and I only wear them around the house , to the pool and at the beach. If the next pair I order are this thin, I will not be buying them ever again. Please, Havianas, do not lessen the quality of my favorite flips!

I love Havaianas slims & own more than a dozen pairs. Sometimes I've had to give them a little filing in the area underneath where the toe post and rubber (V) straps meet. Lately I've noticed some ragged finishes like rubber nubs and strange outcroppings that need clipping. While inspecting the underside of the last two pairs that I bought from Zappos, I found at those round stopper things a thick, milky grease-like substance that looked like congealed bacon fat. Gobs of it that managed to sufficiently gross me out. I imagine the manufacturing process must involve a lubricant to get those rubber stoppers through the little holes. I've decided I now have enough Havaianas.

These are my go-to flips for casual wear and I ordered my usual size. The cut of the sole is bigger than my previous and other pairs, and anyone who buys these on a regular basis knows that quality control on them is kind of shabby. Different colors in the exact same style and size can be different, even the same color can be different from pair to pair. I think you get what you get and shouldn't expect exact matches from this brand, but they still look good and are fine for everyday wear.

These are nice looking shoes but not nearly as comfortable as Reef flip flops. They are hard plastic so you definitely feel them on your feet after a few hours of wear. Reefs are like pillows, and you forget they are on most of the time.

They are well constructed, and for a flip flop - they're probably better than the drugstore variety - but they are a very pricey flip flop.

Bought these to wear at the beach/pool. They are SUPER slippery when went. I think they are cute, but I would definitely advise against wearing them anywhere near water.

More than once these flip-flops have inconsistent sizing; this requires a return and re-purchase which I have not gotten around to doing yet. It is such a hassle.

The sandals seem to fit when you try them on, only my toes hung out when I walked. Very annoying.

So disappointed when I received these shoes. I loved the color and they were a size too small. I ordered my usual size, but were too small. I order 3 pairs for my girls, all youth sizes. That was disappointing as well. Too small! Order a size up than you usually wear. Really cute and looking forward to receiving my new order!

Wanted to try Havaianas because I read about them in fashion magazines. Did not dislike at all, but Old Navy flip flops are just as good and less expensive.

I have many of Havaianas flip flops and always wear a 37/38 but when I ordered this pair they were too small and had to return them. I even measured them up against the many havaianas that I have at home at they are about a 1/2 inch smaller which makes a big difference in they way they look and feel.
