My sister ordered FitFlops for herself and another sister. They arrived today, and I went to try one on. (I've got this walker boot on the other foot, still) I could really feel the cushioning in the heel and the ball of the foot part. Much softer then they look in the picture. But not squishy soft. They weren't as high as they looked either. There is a toe bar for gripability too.

She got the gold for them both. It's a nice dark not brassy gold. I told her if they go on sale to get me a pair. They don't come in half sizes and it's recommend going down, instead of up, in size. I tried an 8 and usually wear a 7-1/2. There was a good 1/4 to 5/8 of an inch each, in the front and back. HTH
