Theres virtually zero absorbency. It arrived and I was disappointed to find that I was nowhere close to fitting the shoe. Would get 5 if edges weren’t so sharp. I have owned any number of mice, trackpads, and trackballs (anyone remember Missile Command?). Pretty. This is the fourth pair of this style that I have purchased. I’m a big person and it’s hard for me to find flip flops that don’t hurt my feet or back. Too small and material feels too hard, they fall off when I walk let alone when I run. I purchased the salty blue which is a pretty funky color but it looks fantastic. It has a bit of a looser it-but still flattering (not skin tight).
