 - False guaranteeI bought a pair of rainbows, at 50 bucks, for the same reason that I'm sure anyone does; the "lifetime" guarantee. After two months of daily wear the bottom sole wore thru to the middle sole so I contacted Rainbow and this is the reply I received: "I'm sorry, but wear and tear on the sandals is not covered by the guarantee. The life of the sole or top sole depends on the wearer of the sandal. Some peoples sandals last longer than others. Personally, I can wear into the middle layer from the bottom sole in one month. It does not mean that the sandals are defective, it just means that I drag my feet a little. Unfortunately, there is nothing that we can do for wear and tear. Have a nice day. STEVE LANE CUSTOMER SERVICE -end email- DO NOT BUY RAINBOWS! for the guarantee. If you like leather flip-flops that cost twice as much as reefs and last a third of the time then these are the flops for you. Otherwise your money will be spent better elsewhere. Rating:  - Good while they lastI've had rainbows for more than a year, but I've had to replace them (using the "lifetime" guarantee) more than three times now. The stitching in the strap keeps coming out, but paying $5 shipping for a new pair of flip flops is worth it. Once broken in, they are very comfortable and are molded to the exact shape of your foot. Rating:  - thin strap single layer rainbowsi love my rainbows! i had 2 pairs before that were the thicker straps and i love them but i wanted the thin strap pair. and they were SO much easier to break in. i wore them to disneyland to break them in and i was fine. the thin straps didn't tear my skin or anything. and they are so comfortable. i love them. and the shipping was quick also which was great. Rating: - Guarantee a HoaxI was not a savvy shopper when I bought these. The salesperson got me when she told me about the lifetime guarantee. Lies! The guarantee covers manufacturing defects ONLY until the sole gets worn down. Basically, the "lifetime" guarantee for my rainbow sandals was one year, which is when the sole broke through to the "soft colored insert" -from rainbow website. Rating: - Rainbows Are A Staple I cannot live without these flipflops. I love Rainbows and always need to have a pair. Never has a pair broken on me -- I've gone through about three in the past 6 years because I lose them or mistreat them. They're durable (just try not to get them too wet too often), match with everything (if you buy the original color) and are very comfortable. I have recently started wearing the more girly skinny strap, but the normal ones are just as good. It takes a couple days to break them in, but no crippling blisters.
