Hi I just wanted to reply that I got my FitFlops a couple of days ago, for me they are wonderful, helps my lower back alot, and since my PN is on the tops of my feet the thong this is wonderful.
I also just received my Earth shoes, I got the Mary Jane tennis shoe style, haven't worn them out of the house yet, but they give my foot tops plenty of open space and they are incredibly light weight, again takes the pressure off my lower back....the down side is my ten year old granddaughter hijacked them today to wear to school.....her feet are as big as mine already. She is going to have her momma's feet!
