So I wrote a letter to Old Navy's Customer Service
Dear Old Navy,
As a valued customer for many years I would like to comment on this seasons merchandise of flip-flops. I think they are horribly made. I generally purchase flip-flops every season from you guys and I am highly disappointed with this years version. I walked around New York City today in them for about 8 hours and they killed my feet. It has to be those raised grip bumps on the sole that make them so uncomfortable. I literally had indentations on my feet from the straps that were connected to the bottom sole. I have worn them before today multiple times and while I found them uncomfortable, today was just unbearable. I don't know if I can fathom the thought of wearing them again, as my poor feet felt tortured. I will however continue to wear previous seasons flip-flops as I love them dearly. Please correct this issue for next seasons flip-flops, no raised grip bumps on them. I would like to give one rave, I do like the sleeker design, you can keep that for next season.
I seriously JUST HAD TO! My feet really did feel tortured
Does anybody else feel this way about their flip-flops this year??

Re: So I wrote a letter to Old Navy's Customer Service
They're crap. My heels hit right where the staps are connected to the base of the shoe. For $2.50, I got what I paid for  I'll stick to my J Crew flops from last summer, thanks!

Teva flip flops are so comfy! I got a pair a few weeks ago and now my sisters have ordered them too. We live in our flips over the summer and they are so much better then the target/old navy kinds...

Re: So I wrote a letter to Old Navy's Customer Service
I had the same problem with them when I wore them to the Bronx Zoo last week, however, I don't really think flip flops are meant for that kind of walking--especially the 5 dollar type with no arch. kwim? For all that walking I should have been in sneakers.

ON flip flops are junk. Havaianas are the BEST!

Re: So I wrote a letter to Old Navy's Customer Service
I don't like the new ones either! I wore a pair last night and went for a walk around the neighborhood. They were squeaking the whole time! How annoying!

Re: So I wrote a letter to Old Navy's Customer Service
8 hrs of walking?  my feet wold be in pain no matter what i wore. ON flip flops are definitely not designed for such lengthly endeavors.
i am also a big fan of havaianas but again, 8 hrs is a long time to be on the go in flip flops.

Re: So I wrote a letter to Old Navy's Customer Service
I hate old Navy Flip Flops 5 minutes of walking and my feet hurt!
When we were in Hawaii I saw everyone wearing Crocs flip flops. While I would never wear the regular Crocs, I put a pair of the flip flops on and they are the most comfortable shoe I ever wore in my life. I walked all over Hawaii in them.
Ill save the 2.50 and my FEET!

Honestly, for me, they are no better. The pair I have tore the skin off between my toes I was not super duper walking, just normal wear.

Re: So I wrote a letter to Old Navy's Customer Service
So strange.... I actually just bought 3 pairs from ON & thought that they were the most comfortable flip flops they ever made. I can understand your disappointment though. It seems like ON in general has been lacking quality in their merchandise lately. I usually stick to puchasing disposable items there such as tank tops & lounge pants..

Yeah, I don't expect much for $1. For a full day of walking i'd wear something with more support.

I think the list price is $2.50, but they had a special going on where they were all $1.

Re: So I wrote a letter to Old Navy's Customer Service
I bought a tank top that turned me blue after multiple washings. I wrote them & they sent me a gift card.
When I went to the store, it wouldn't work ! There was nothing on it!

DH has the same problem! He has giant calluses on the bottom of his feet from where the strap thing meets the sole. He complains all the time!

Re: So I wrote a letter to Old Navy's Customer Service
I have to be honest- telling them you went walking around Manhatten for EIGHT HOURS in 1.00 flip flops really takes the strength out of your argument......

Ok I feel little better, but not too much as I must've missed this special and could've saved myself 4.50
