The powder coat is even and well applied. these a great flip flops. Be aware that if you stack these the top shelf of each one will be a lot shorter in height because they were apparently not designed to be stacked. These shoes are very cute and comfortable and I recommend them. and again, Perfect! I am a water loving person who really enjoys comfortable shoes. Quietschen nicht wegzukriegen! So now I will write an honest review (as opposed to all of these 5-star reviews from folks who were bribed or coerced into writing them). Ive bought, and had to return, about 6 pairs of shoes from Amazon because they are too small even though I ordered size 11. Got it in dark blue.
