Hi. I’m calling this a Quick & Dirty PSA Post. TKEES Skeptics; beware – and TKEES Lovers; can we talk? What is going on???

I’ve wanted to try TKEES for years. They look like the most perfect, affordable, minimal, sexy leather sandals to wear with anything & everything, right?

WRONG. And let it be known, I have average-width feet and kind of low standards for flip flops/sandals! (Haha JK, you can trust my review… but they’re flip flops, yanno?!) Spoiler: I was so let down.. by all ten.

A Disappointing TKEES Review: I Tried On 10 And Liked 0

So I’ve listed the ten TKEES sandals I tried on from best to worst. But honestly, I’d keep exactly zero of these. There isn’t really a “best”. I’d much rather sport my trusty Havaianas, or these by Time and Tru, even. They’re somehow slightly more comfy. Sheesh.

Maybe they’ll be for you, if you’ve got extremely narrow feet, no feeling in the crack of your toes, don’t walk anywhere, and just wear shoes for pictures. Kiiidding, kidding. If you’re a fan of TKEES, please drop me a comment and tell me which to try/what your secret is?!?

BTW, my nail polish is the best pastel yellow around; Essie gel couture’s Atelier At The Bay (makes a summer tan pop) – and my cute, flowy skirt is from Social Threads.

1. TKEES Leah Toe Loop Sandal

at Nordstrom | at TKEES | at Zappos

I like these but had to adjust the straps once I put on. (Ugh!) I found that the middle strap kept my foot in place, so that’s a plus? (It slid around in like, all of the other pairs.)

2. TKEES The Boyfriend Leather Flip Flop

at Nordstrom | at TKEES | at Zappos | at Bloomies

The toe strap (toe thong?) hurts a bit.. but I like the soft, non-shiny leather compared to the others. Just not comfy enough, tho.

3. TKEES Lily Square Toe Flip Flop

at Nordstrom | at TKEES | at Zappos

Hurts in-between my toes. I don’t like the shape – it feels too long/large even though they’re the right size? These do have good reviews, BTW.

4. TKEES ‘Glosses’ Flip Flop

at Saks | at Nordstrom | at TKEES | at Zappos | at Bloomies

Not terrible, but looks cheap due to the shininess on black IMHO. A teeeny bit more support than the others.

5. TKEES ‘Glosses’ Flip Flop

at Nordstrom | at TKEES | at Zappos

Same as above, but the “Whipped Cream” color is prettier & less cheap-looking. 5/10 on a comfort scale.

6. TKEES Riley Flip Flop

at Saks | at Nordstrom | at TKEES | at Zappos

These will only work on a seriously narrow foot. They kept sliding off of me everywhere except that one tied-in toe haha.

7. TKEES Lily Mirror Square Toe Flip Flop

at Nordstrom | at TKEES | at Zappos

Just not cute to me & they look cheap. Hurt in-between my toes and were really slippery. The mirror material is quite…odd.

8. TKEES Serena Slide Sandal

at Nordstrom | at TKEES | at Zappos | at Bloomies

Heel slides COMPLETELY off?? So sad because I love this “Buff” color a lot. No support either, wah.

---

9. TKEES Gemma Sandal

at Saks | at Nordstrom | at TKEES | at Zappos | at Tuckernuck

The top toe strap is too loose & second strap is too tight, which is odd. I don’t have a wide foot, so they definitely won’t work if you do. These also off because they’re too narrow & reeeally flat (like the rest, idk why I’m surprised by the lack of support).

10. TKEES Jo Lace-Up Sandal

at Saks | at Nordstrom | at TKEES | at Zappos | at Bloomies

Guys, I’m sorry. I took one look at these and couldn’t even do it. It was after I tried on all the rest and spirits were low. Annoyingly complex to get on & I’m thinking they feel just as hard as others. So they went right back into the box.
