Cobian

John Cobian and his sister Claudia started Cobian in 1995 in North County San Diego, and the line has stayed close to what it began with: flip-flops, slides and sandals built for people who wear them every day rather than twice a summer.

The difference you feel is underfoot. Cobian builds a contoured, arch-supporting footbed instead of the flat slab of foam most beach sandals use, which is why they hold up to walking rather than just standing poolside. Sandals are covered by the Endless Comfort guarantee against manufacturing defects, and registering your pair within 30 days of purchase extends that coverage.
