And they are cute!

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.

So how many pair did you buy Naps?

Really, how many? Are your legs toned yet?

Thank you for getting that information to us AMN.

Are the insoles vinyl too? I don't like the feeling when your feet sweat on vinyl and they get all slippery.

Yes, T, the whole footbed/insole is vinyl compound.

Terffy, no, I did not buy any, nor do I walk a tightrope.

Clapping hands...Did you buy DM and me a matching pair then? Oh goody!

(I hope she bought them in black!)(Gee, we might fall and kill ourselves on those. I wonder if that is what she has in mind?)

Cindy, Cindy, Cindy -

How many times do I have to tell you - you can be easy but not cheap.

Your investigative work is worth much more than that!

Awesome "leg work" Cindy!!! You beat me to it. Today is the day I was going to go exploring Macy's for these. DH is finally off an evening and I can go check them out without the boys in tow.

The one thing that does scare me about these is the heel height. I have narrow feet, so the snug fit will be great for me.

The toe thingy doesn't bother me. It used to, but I got used to wearing flip flops a couple years ago. So, unless something is different for me this year, it shouldn't be a problem.

I am going to try to get out and get a look at these this afternoon. I will report back about whether I took the plunge and bought them.

Your QUARTER is in the mail.

I sent the email from VS to my 2 sisters who worship the sun, have b-days in May and are going to Florida to celebrate the youngests 40th birthday.

The soon to be 40 yr old is getting them from our other sister. She said she couldn't get the color she wanted but wouldn't say what that color was or what she got.

I'll have her report after her vaca.
