Product Insights
Volcom's New School II Flip-Flops Women offer a $45 sandal that mimics the look of a woven leather sandal, with molded arch support, a thick EVA footbed that cushions without bottoming out, and a non-skid outsole for wet traction, all in a true-to-size, non-adjustable strap design that improves hold after break-in; the footbed compression improves fit but leads to edge shredding after about 8.5 years.
Verified claims
- Arch support
- Volcom describes a molded arch contour that gives light midfoot support, though retailer answers describe the footbed as flat with no structured support.
- Cushioning
- Thicker EVA footbed with contoured foam cushions without bottoming out.
- Durability
- A Zappos customer reports the footbed began shredding after about 8.5 years.
- Wet traction
- Non-skid sponge rubber outsole grips wet surfaces for years.
- Sizing
- Runs true to standard women's shoe sizes.
- Strap
- Non-adjustable straps and foam footbed improve hold after a short break-in.
- Style value
- Mimics the look of a woven leather sandal costing $60+ for $45.
- Versatile design
- Fixed hardware-free straps keep a clean silhouette for both casual and dressy outfits.
- Footbed
- Footbed compression under body weight improves fit, and one long-term owner reports the footbed began shredding after about 8.5 years.
- Water resistance
- The synthetic leather straps are water-resistant but not fully waterproof; prolonged water exposure can cause damage or discoloration.
- Strap material care
- The straps are polyurethane-coated fabric, not genuine leather; over time the coating can lift and flake, and leather conditioners should be avoided in favor of a mild soap-and-water wipe.
- Footbed lining
- The footbed is topped with a synthetic leather layer rather than raw foam, which resists moisture and stays cooler against the skin.

Long city walks on pavement
According to an analysis of customer reviews, these Volcom flip-flops are a go-to for city exploring and long walks on pavement, with the cushioned sole and secure strap reported to reduce foot fatigue compared to thong sandals. The strap design is described as giving a secure, no-flop fit that works better for walking than thong styles.[4]
Flip-flops for all-day, comfortable wear
With a plush cushioned footbed featuring molded arch support and a lightweight rubber sponge outsole, these Volcom flip-flops are built for wearing comfortably all day. Many reviewers, as summarized in a reviews analysis, say they're the most comfortable flip-flops they've owned.[2,3,4]
A go-to pair for everyday summer errands
Per a review analysis, customers reach for these flip-flops as a staple for daily errands and outings, pairing them with casual summer clothes. Reviewers describe the look as trendy, and the analysis reports the sandals hold up to frequent seasonal wear, with several customers buying a second or third pair.[4]
Pairing with summer outfits
Reviewers love how these Volcom flip-flops look with summer clothes, calling them trendy and fantastic. Per the reviews analysis, they've become a staple for daily errands and casual outings during warm weather.[4]
Secure, comfortable fit for wider feet
For anyone whose feet don't fit narrow flip-flop straps, reviewers report the New School II's strap design fits broader feet without pinching and gives a secure, no-flop feel that's easier to walk in than thong styles — one wide-footed reviewer called it a perfect 'Cinderella fit'. Note that a few reviewers found the toe strap opening inconsistently sized between the left and right sandal in a pair, which caused discomfort and a return in one reported case.[4]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| New School Ii Flip-Flops Women: Choose this if you want cushioned flip-flops for long walks and all-day wear: the Recliner Comfort Foam footbed with molded arch support and a lightweight rubber sponge outsole are credited by a reviews analysis with reducing foot fatigue on pavement, and the crisscross strap gives a secure, no-flop fit that reviewers say also accommodates wide feet. Multiple reviewers report the pair holds up to frequent seasonal wear, with some on their second or third pair. One caveat: the toe strap opening can be inconsistently sized between the left and right sandal, and one reviewer had to return a pair because the big toe opening was too tight on one foot.[1,2,3,4] | Simple Slides Women: Choose this if you want a versatile, minimalist slide for casual wear, vacation days from beach to dinner, or errands and long walks. Reviewers report the cushioned sole provides all-day comfort, and the injection-molded waterproof EVA sole with rubber sponge outsole adds traction and cushion for house, pool deck, or beach use. Note that the sandals run narrow out of the box — wearers with wider feet may need to stretch the strap or adjust the buckle — and they are synthetic rather than genuine leather, which some buyers found less premium than expected.[5,6,7] |

Super confortable
Sandales que tu veux toujours avoir dans les pieds
Belle sandale
Semelle confortable mais il y avait une ouverture de grosse orteil le plus petite que l’autre donc trop serrée. Je les ai retournées
Very comfortable and trendy.
Very comfortable and trendy.
Good basic flip flop
I don't wear flip flops as shoes, but these are better for walking than the thong style ones because they hold the front of the foot better.
Just what I wanted.

C’est la 2ème paire que j’achète . Confortable et pratique et résistante pour le prix.
Génial
J'avais déjà l'ancienne version de ces sandales, avec la semelle plus mince. Je les aime tellement, je les porte souvent depuis 4 ans. J'ai commandé celles-ci chez Simons et très satisfaite. La semelle est encore plus confortable que la première version.

Best Sandals
These are my favorite sandals ! I keep rebuying them every year. They are so comfortable, look fantastic and are designed so they actually fit your foot very well and don’t “flip flop” around like your usual flip flip does which in my opinion is a good thing lol
