Now made in China - And it Shows
Purchased my last pair of Telics a few years ago and they are just starting to wear out. Those were made in the USA and had that phrase stamped all over it. Fantastic flip-flops.The pair I recently bought had the phrase "Find Your Purpose" stamped all over them and a "made in China" sticker.Completely different pair of flip-flops. Too tight, too narrow, and hurt my feet after just a few days. Have turned them into expensive shower shoes, as that is the only place I will wear them.Telic needs to make their sandals and flip flops in America again, as the quality has worsened since they moved production to China. Will never buy again.

THEY SHRINK!
Okay, the good the bad and the ugly. The good. These shoes are comfortable. Great arch support, cushions tired feet, easy to get used to. The bad, they are a tad pricey and they run small so order up. I wear a 9 1/2, got a ten and great. The ugly. THEY SHRINK. I never noticed it until recently when I bought a new pair of the same size how much. First year they were roomy, last year fit okay, this year they are small and I live in a northern climate where the temps aren't too high and I wear them about three months of the year. SO beware. I got my last pair for $15 dollars which was about right given how they shrink.

If half size, order up
Telic doesn't come in half sizes, so I ordered both a half size up and a half size down to try on. I found a significant difference between the sizes both in both length and width (see photos) - my heel hangs a bit in the smaller size and I have noticeable extra room in the larger size. Overall, I am happy with how the larger pair fits.These flip flops are light weight, comfy, and have significant arch support. I never realized the strain I had been placing on my feet by wearing flat slippers or flip flops around the house. With these sandals, when I remove them, my feet feel massaged and relaxed, and my legs arent as sore.

THEY SHRUNK IN THE HEAT!
THEY SHRUNK!! I bought a pair locally and LOVE THEM!!!! I have never been able to wear flip flops with the thing between my toes- these are so comfortable. I was going to Disney and thought I would buy a back up pair w/my Amazon Prime. Took them and was very bummed they were a little too small. But passed them along to my daughter who has a little smaller feet when we went camping. They fit her, she wore them for a day or two. LOVED THEM. However, while in our tent, the heat shrunk them! My local-bought sandals in the same tent, did NOT shrink. This probably explains why they didn't fit me in the first place. Probably over-heated in transportation?? And one shrunk more than the other - so I can't even pass them along to a smaller foot...I did buy another pair locally -- still love them!

Great but sizes are tricky (updated 1/20/21)
I was ready to see an orthopedic due to my plantar fasciitis. Together with Topricin cream and magnesium oil and these Telic energy flip flops I am 90% healed from foot pain, which was leading to sciatica too. All gone. The flip flops played the major role. I used to wake up at night with a back ache and foot ache. My legs, feet and back are reaping all the benefits now and I rest all night.The material is great, feet stay cool and comfy. I have quickly stopped walking barefoot which was a big no no if you have pre existing foot, leg or back conditions.But a size up as they do run small: I wear size 10 and in the photo the red coral one is a 10 and the cream one is 11. When I walked the red one would almost want to come off. I was afraid that the bigger one would affect arch support but instead they are a life saver! This has changed now. See updateUPDATE 1/11/21, I ordered a pair for my second home and since size 10, my actual size, was a good price I decided to give it a go and order both 11 and 10. To my surprise size 10 fit perfect. I realized the one from this summer which made me order a size 11 must have been defected. I took off one star because sizing, due to mass production, is questionable.

No more plantar fasciitis pain!!!
I have suffered from plantar fasciitis for many years and have struggled to find shoes that are comfortable. I managed to find several specific shoes that meet my needs however, flip flops have been more challenging. The best thing I found were the cheap old navy flip flops but these didn't last long and I couldn't wear them for long periods of time. After reading the reviews I was excited about the Telic flip flops. I normally wear a size 10.5 but since the reviews said they run small I went with a size 11. I put these on and immediately fell in love with them. I wear them everyday around the house with no pain at all. I have also worn them on and off for entire days going to and from stores without pain. I am so glad I found these. Now I can finally have some flip flops that I can slide on quickly and wear anywhere without pain. I have only had them for a couple weeks so far. Hopefully they will last for a while. I will definitely buy again and would recommend to anyone, especially those with plantar fasciitis.

i felt better at the end of the shopping trip and swear ...
I have large, very flat feet, and as an older woman, it is difficult to find sandals that are cute yet support my feet and legs. I cannot wear tight shoes anymore. I got these, put them on and went to Walmart, walked all around the store. My hip has been sore for a week after lots of heavy lifting from moving. My legs and feet truly in pain. i felt better at the end of the shopping trip and swear my hip felt better. These are not as tough as Crocs brand nor as wimpy as some of the foreign brands. I found they are soft, spongy but supportive. They grip too, no slipping or sliding as some higher end plastic sandals like crocs are tough plastic that does not grip tile or wet flooring. THESE are GREAT. The sizing seems accurate for women's but these are not a man's 11M, they're more of a women's 11-12 M shoe. Fine as I wear that size.

At last comfort! !
Searched for a while for comfortable supporting foootwear. Telic's fit the bill. Ordered a women's size 7. They are a snug fit but really great to wear. I have flat feet so usually go for something with a wedge or heel. Telic's have a small wedge but really support my arch. Love the variety in colours. Will be buying more although not many places sell them. Thanks Amazon!

Not as comfy as I expected
Thought the bit between toe would be ok and soft but didn't feel comfortable so returned sandal. Also slips a bit ie when going upstairs.

Not a substitute for my usual brand
I was trying them as a slightly less expensive alternative to another brand, but the cushioning and support are NOT there. The ball of the foot area is very thin compared to the other brand. Also, sizing was not the same as the others, and these were too small to keep even if I had found them suitable. If you DON'T have a lot of foot problems, these may be fine for you for every day sandals.
