Should you size up or down in flip flops?

When buying Flips flip-flops, we recommend buying a half inch size bigger than your heel-to-toe measurements for a more relaxed fit. For a more snug fit, choose the exact measurement. So for a 9.5” heel-to-toe measurement, choose Size 6 for a more snug fit and Size 7 fit.

What is the correct fit for flip flops?

When in doubt, you’re better off going up the size, as having your feet hang off of a small footbed is worse than having a little extra space. With that said, for any Vionic sandals only available in whole sizes, our recommendation is to size down to the nearest whole size if you typically wear a half size.
