Review on Locals Black Strap Slipper Inches Boys' Shoes ~ Sandals by Ken Coste

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Normal feet Asian feet shouldn't feel tied to flip flops

Foot size is perfect (11-12 slippers for 10.5-11 shoes), the strap is another story and a separate detail altogether - they have shortened the shank between the big toe and the next, the fit is too snug for what normally wear comfortable flip flops and pinches right between them. I hope this softens up a bit but I really think I'll just have to get used to it or find another brand which will be very disappointing. I can't imagine that during the manufacturing process they thought they could save that much money by redesigning the barrel. I've been wearing them since at least the '80s, and every time I return to Hawaii I snag a few pairs to hold out until my next shopping spree at Ala Moana Long's Drugs, which has vanished from California. After my supply ran out I took Revine and they're a little more expensive than the site itself but they're the same slippers so it's not going to be fun. They get 3 stars as long as they don't change the upper back, while remaining the most beautiful basic slippers in the world, which remains their iconic style.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Disappear
