not the same ol' Molokai

By bla3176617 Ranked #321 - Men's Flip Flops July 16, 2009

I had, loved, completely wore out the previous version of this sandal (model GM1121). This new version (model GM2066) is no good for me, despite having the same foot support that I loved in the old version. The between-toes strap is now shorter, causing the across-the-foot straps to ride differently than the old version, which causes a seam to dig into the top of my foot. After one day of wearing the new version, I had significant chafing on the tops of both feet, making the sandals unwearable. This doesn't seem to be an issue for all folks (see other reviews here), but there are a few reviews similar to mine on other shoe sites. I contacted Montrail about the issue, but no response (yet).

However, Backcountry's service was great. They were willing to take the sandals back -- no questions asked -- despite me having already worn them for a day. Buy from Backcountry without hesitation.
