I ordered my Islander's specifically to…Wear on holiday
I ordered my Islander's specifically to take to Nevada and Arizona in the USA but after a few days of walking about the cushioning seemed to give up and lose its elasticity and bounce resulting in an uncomfortable time.
My feet didn't feel "like walking on wet sand" but like being barefoot on concrete.
I queried with customer service who responded "The Gumbies Islander flip-flops are designed with our signature barefoot feel in mind — offering flexibility, grip, and connection with the ground rather than the soft cushioning you might find in more padded footwear."
I found these Gumbies very uncomfortable to walk in
