Default FitFlops have arrived

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

I'm really curious about them too! I wish I knew for sure I'd love them, cuz $50 isn't a cheap flip-flop. I REALLY hope they go on sale!

Would you believe that those little red numbers that we've been discussing, were in my Victoria's Secret catalogue when it arrived yesterday.

They're selling here for $49:95 ....so must be the same price!

Fancy that.....way down here in little Tasmania.

I got to see these things! I have a real problem with shoes now. They have to be built exactly just so in order for my feet to walk straight. Then of course when I get tired, my left foot does it's own thing no matter what is on my foot!

I don't buy shoes based on looks anymore. I have some really ugly ones now! But that is the way the MS swings for me!

I'm right there with you guys on the comfort. However, I really try for pretty, feminine looking shoes. Actually, flip flops.

Yesterday I went to Target and found a really comfortable pair with beaded straps. Now that is feminine and pretty and comfortable to boot. LOL. I freaked at the price $12.99 but I worn them today and they are so worth it. They are dressy enough that I can wear them to dressier events and almost casual enough to wear with my favorite pjs. LOL

JessieSue - I am right there with you on the price. Heck, I freaked about spending $12.99 on a pair of flip flops. I could buy 3 of these flip flops for the price of 1 FitFlop and still have money left over for a $2.00 hot dog meal deal at Target. LOL.
