Review on πŸ‘ž Comfortable and Stylish Locals Black Strap Slipper Inches for Boys' Shoes and Sandals by Anthony Gupta

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Normal feet Asian feet should not feel tied to flip-flops

The size of the foot is perfect (slippers 11-12 for shoes 10.5-11), the strap is another story, and in general one separate detail - they shortened the stalks between the big toe and the next, the fit is too tight for what is usually worn by comfortable flip-flops that pinch 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 production they thought they could save that much money by changing the design of the barrel. I've been wearing the Local brand since at least the 80's and every time I return to Hawaii I grab a few pairs to hold out until my next shopping spree at Ala Moana Long's Drugs (from California unfortunately). After my supplies ran out I grabbed the Revain and they are a bit more expensive than the site itself but they are the same slippers which added little to the fun. This is a 3 star review in the hope that they bring the stalk back while still being the most beautiful basic slipper in the world which continues to be their iconic style.

Pros
  • Transparent strap
Cons
  • Long delivery time
