Okay.

So I went on a mission to discover this amazing, revolutionary Fit Flop. Here are my observations after speaking with two of the clerks who wear and love them:

They are about a 1.5-inch heel (I'd fall off or break an ankle).
The soles are a vinyl compound that is very soft under the ball of the foot and quite firm and unforgiving at the heelbed.
The heelbed is flat and does not "cup" the heel.
The straps are not flexible, they are a cotton/canvas web and are meant to hold the shoe tightly against your foot.
They are made in Black, Gray and the cute Red. The red ones are the hottest seller, so if you want 'em, don't waste any time.
The footbed is quite flat, not formed and will only "give" slightly to mold to your foot.
The warning tag explains that you will be working a new muscle group and should start with progressive stages, don't wear them to DisneyWorld the first day.

Both the gals I spoke with have quite narrow feet and report that Fit Flops fit snugly (by design). Both agreed that a bulkier foot would likely be uncomfortably constricted.

They haven't had a chance to sweat in them yet, but both find themselves wanting to pull their foot away from the footbed to let it breathe from time to time.

I learned something new today, Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works and Macy's are all part of the same company. My Macy's and Victoria's Secret do not carry them, only Bath & Body Works (in my town).

My fee is $25.00 per view.
