FitFlop Electra SKU: #7644176

This is an amazing shoe! I only wish that it came in a work-appropriate style, but I am thankful they’ve upped the cuteness factor with this sparkly version! I am a devout Birkenstock wearer for decades, but on a recommendation from a friend, bought these for a trip to New Orleans where I knew I’d be walking non-stop for 5 days. I am pregnant, and have a bad back and bad knees. These shoes kept me SO comfortable walking an average of 10 miles per day! I haven’t worn my beloved Birkenstocks a single time since I’ve had these. The only trouble is, the toe thong does tend to rub on your second toe until it’s properly broken in, so make sure you buy ahead of planned protracted walking or you’ll have some discomfort. However, this has worked itself out in 2 of my 3 pairs. I now own these in electra, silver, and black sequin. The black ones, for whatever reason, have been the slowest to break in. Perhaps I’ve worn them less, but I don’t think so. In any case, I’m confident they’ll be fine in a couple more wears. Someone described these shoes as a tempurpedic for your feet, and that is the PERFECT description. As to the advertised toning/work out features? I haven’t noticed any difference in my legs or butt, and I really don’t care. If you have back/leg problems, these are absolutely the shoes for you! They do tend to run just a touch large, so if you’re between sizes, definitely order down. All in all, these are adorable, casual shoes that have been a godsend for my aching back! I can’t recommend them highly enough!

I love these sandals. I have 2 other types from FitFlop, but these were fun and are back-up shoes for a wedding, so they had to be sequined. I plan to wear them all summer even before the wedding. My legs feel great when I wear them and my back doesn't hurt.

These shoes are unbelievable. The sequins make them glamorous but they are the most comfortable thong-style sandals I've ever worn. The FitFlop exercise-while-you-walk concept works! My legs were actually sore the day after I wore these FitFlops for the first time, and as a former gym rat. I really appreciate achieving that level of exercise from simply walking around at work. These are the only shoes I want to wear now. I bought them in black and bronze, too.

I am a huge fan of Fit Flops. I work on my feet a great deal and these are the only shoes that keep me going all day without any complaints. I bought this dressier version to go with more formal outfits. I love them. Fits true to size and works great if you have wide feet like me. Can’t wait until this company comes out with more business casual shoes for the office.

I wear a 6.5 and got these in a 6. They fit perfect. I live in a neighborhood where I walk every where and these shoes are very comfy. Most flip flops are really bad for your feet but these rock. I highly recommend them.

Received these in 2 business days from Zappos. They're very comfortable and run true to size, I really like the dressier sequined version, as I wasn't crazy about the previously released styles. I can't wait to wear them all summer.

These are my 6th pair of fit flops. I love these sandals. I wish I could say that my rear-end is improved as they claim, but I'm not sure that is the case. I can, however, tell you this. These sandals are, hands down, the best all-day on your feet sandals I own. I've survived a 4-day weekend in NYC, a week+ at Disney World and my very hectic summers in these sandals. No arch pain and no blisters. I decided on the sequins this time because it gave me a dressier option. Really pretty. For sizing: I wear a 7-71/2 and the 7 was perfect. Buy them!

These are so comfortable. I could (and have) worn them all day long. The first few wearings they\'re a little \'stiff\' but it doesn\'t take long until they form to the feet. I don\'t know if they do much as far working out the legs more than a normal pair of sandals, but they are comfortable and actually have some arch support compared to flipflops.

Fabulous flip flops! These flip flops will change your life! When I wear them I feel as if I am truly walking on sunshine! I will buy another pair just as soon as I can!

I adore these and had to come back today to rave about them. I was looking for a casual slip on type summer shoe that was fun and comfortable, not the easiest thing to find let me tell you, and then I saw these, read the reviews and ordered the pewter. I am thrilled, these are so comfortable and the perfect sparkly touch to the standard shorts/tee outfit. I get lots of support, they are very secure on the feet without feeling too snug, fantastic arch support, very true to size, perfect, love love love these, thank you Zappos!

This shoe feels as great as my old Walkstars, and looks even more fabulous. The sequins aren\'t garish and shiny, they\'re a darker pewter color. The lining of the upper is really soft and comfortable. It took one day of wear to break in the toe post, but now they\'re my most comfortable shoes!

Really love these flip flops! I don't really believe they're getting me fit as they claim, but they're extremely comfortable!

I love these Fit Flops (my first pair). I have had neuromas (nerve tumors) on both feet, so I need very cushy shoes. I usually wear a size 7.5, and ordered an 8. I had to send them back. A 7 fits perfectly! I can wear these all day long and feel really great. The only reason I did not rate the comfort a 5 is that the strap between the toes on my left foot rubbed my toe raw. I finally put bandages around the strap and it is fine now. I wear comfortable thongs all the time, so I was surprised about the strap bothering me. Have not taken the bandage off the strap yet. It does not show. I will be purchasing at least 2 more pairs of Fit Flops, and plan on bringing one of them to my next trip to Mexico to wear around the town.

Love these Fit Flops! This is the first pair of Fit Flops I purchased and it will not be my last. Very comfortable and I can feel the muscles in my legs a little tighter at the end of the day. Also, stylish! I have gotten many compliments from people who had no clue they are actually "Fit Flops"! I usually wear a 6 and 1/2 or 7 and I purchased a 7 and they fit perfectly!

This is my 3rd pair of Fitflops. I've gotten one pair each summer for the last 3 years. This is my favorite so far. Just as comfortable and supportive as the others, but much cuter. This is the only pair of flip flops I can trek all around Manhattan in all day without sore feet or a sore back. Highly recommend!

Love these. Have black and pewter. Bought as my go-to shoes for summer pregnancy. They have a little height, some style and are super comfy. Wore them out of the box for an entire weekend trip which included tons of walking and these comfy little shoes went from sandy beach to dinner with ease and zero pain or break-in time. My pregnant sis has now purchased them as well and is very happy too. I gave style a 4 star rating because let's face it, comfy and style are very difficult to marry and these do an excellent job. This whole work out thing though seems like a silly fantasy to me.

I love these sandals! They are the single most comfortable pair of shoes I ever have bought, and I am very picky about footwear! They are also incredibly cute! Zappos offered free shipping and they arrived the very next day after I ordered them. All in all a wonderful purchase and purchasing experience.

If I didn't already own a pair of the Fitflop Walkstar 3, I might have given this shoe 5 stars. Electra's advantage over Walkstar 3 is style. I like the sequins and the absence of the giant Fitflop logo on the strap. It seems that the footbed is also a little shorter in the toe area, which is good if you have short toes. Like Walkstar 3, Electra is incredibly lightweight--I thought Zappos had shipped me an empty box at first! Now to the disadvantages. Electra doesn't have quite the same level of foot-pampering coziness of Walkstar 3. The arch support is a little less, the foot bed is slightly harder, and the strap fits looser over the top of the foot, which means that for people with flat feet the shoe moves more and the thong tends to chafe. (Gals with high arches might like the looser strap.) Also, the sequins on the inside edge of the feet may rub together, so these shoes require more delicate handling. Overall, Electra is a good shoe. (And you can NOT beat Zappo's price.) However, it just isn't as mind blowing as Walkstar 3. I would recommend Electra if you must have sequins or didn't like the fit of Walkstar 3. In most cases I'd recommend taking a look at Walkstar 3. The fit in the toes is ridiculously long, but the shoe feels like a gentle hug. The arch support is equivalent to that of a gym shoe. The patent leather versions with contrasting colors are surprisingly stylish. Props to Zappos for prompt shipping and competitive prices!
