Customer Reviews FitFlop Walkstar™ III Leather

I bought my first pair of Fitflops after my Mom and I were talking to her neighbor lady one day about them. She said she bought a pair and loved them so much, she now has four pair. Before buying them, there was only one shoe that her feet felt comfortable in. I've suffered with minor aches in my feet, as well, over the last ten years; so thought I'd give them a try. My Mom bought a pair a few days later and loved them, so I followed suit within a couple weeks and bought the Walkstar IIIs.They are the most comfortable shoe I've ever had on my feet! Even when I'm in the house and have to go to the next room for something, I slip them on. I love them! If I had to pick one thing they could improve upon, it would be to come out with more styles besides flipflops. I'm not a big fan of flipflops. I'd rather wear a nice-looking sandal with straps that come across the foot more like Crocs. I thought Crocs were great until I tried Fitflops! They're my absolute favorite now! I've noticed something strange with my Walkstars. They have a tendency to work their way down my foot and are hard to keep on at times. I notice it more when I'm walking longer distances. I'm not sure why that is...maybe it's the wobbleboard effect. But overall, I love them, and they're a dream-come-true for my feet! I normally buy 10's, but I read that you can get away with a half to a full-size smaller; so I bought 9's.

Been looking forward to getting these shoes. Bought them for my mother in law and she loved them. Almost returned them though because they made me bleed between the toes. Decided to tough it out and I love them now. They offer more support then regular flip flops.

I find these to be comfortable and I like the extra height, but they aren't very cute on. They look rather orthopedic.

I have a narrow foot, so these were a little wide. They still feel great, very comfortable and supportive. The only hitch is that I did develop a blister in brown and my toes where the strap rubbed on one foot. I believe that is because the one strap is rough, like a piece of stray leather did not get trimmed. The other shoe's strap seems smoother. I still like the shoes, but I am still wearing a Band-Aid as a result of my battle scar! I've been pricing these for a while and I think found the best price here.

While the FitFlop is a very comfortable thong in all other respects I have been unable to wear it because of the roughness where the toe piece joins the upper. It has caused bleeding and scarrinjg of the second toe. It may just be a function of the Walkstar III which is the leather one I purchased. I have continued to try it hoping it would resolve itself but to no avail.

While I don\'t notice any particular fitness progress from wearing these, I do feel that they are very comfortable and offer greater support across the top of your foot. Since I tend to fall\/twist my foot in regular flip flops, it has never happened in these. I ordered a size larger than I normally wear and it fit fine so it runs smaller than normal.

I bought 2 pairs of FitFlops and this pair rubbed the top of my toes and hurt. I discovered the problem--the top part is much larger than the strip between the toes on this pair and the wider top rubber/hurt my toes! I’m keeping the other pair with silver sequins.

This sandal was comfortable out of the box. I usually have difficulty getting used to sandals that go between the toes, but not with this one. I did notice that my knees were a little sore after the first day wearing them, but after that I have had no problems. Well-made, attractive and comfortable. A great purchase.

These are very comfy for flip flops. I love the bright color. I like wearing them around the house and out only if I\'m dressed casually. I have a narrow foot, so I feel like they look too big.

Really cute but have a problem with inbetween toes. Really hurts and got a bad blister. Am trying to break them in slowly in hopes of being able to wear them. But if you have a problem with thongs, don\'t get this style.

These are quite comfortable. Unfortunately they look big, necessary I suppose to have the benefits. But when I look down at them on my feet, it looks like I\'m wearing snowshoes. I wear them to run errands, etc. but if I want to feel girlie, I choose something else.

I just got these in the mail and love how they look. They have a little height which I like. However, they rub between the toes a lot. I wear flip flops all the time and I would have thought my feet could handle these. Also, they are bruising the tops of my feet. I love them and want to keep them but am not sure that I can get past the break in period.

My knees don\'t hurt at all which is good, but I am having trouble getting used to the toe part. It is not comfortable there and will try a few more things before giving them up. It is a bit rough so maybe it needs to be broken in by the toe.

Comfortable, but my arch was off center with these shoes. I have a pair of Skechers and love them so much that I wanted to get a summer shoe that would do the same thing. These were nothing like my Skechers. Returned them!

The shoe is definitely comfortable enough to wear a lot. I personally work out a ton so I didn't necessarily feel the burn a lot of folks will mention but my legs do feel worked out after walking around the mall for a while.Women definitely noticed the shoes and most were surprised by how stylish they are. I didn't necessarily agree but I do think they look better than expected.

I love Fitflops, this is my 4th pair. I did find the Walkstar III took more breaking in than the previous styles (it was stiffer around the thong part, and the patent leather edges were a bit less smooth).

I have purchased the Walkstar many times over a the past few years and used to love them. But, they are not the same quality as before. This pair had one shoe that was much wider than the other. One just flopped around on my foot. I'm afraid to try another pair. Very sad to see the quality disappear from the Fitflops, but the whole brand is going downhill.

These are wide and have a nice supportive footbed, so I was hoping that they would be just what I was looking for for my aching feet. But the strap in the middle, though, was too hard and scratchy so I have returned them.

Very casual foam construction. Comfortable but longer than usual. I normally wear a 7 1/2 and go to an 8 if no half sizes are available. These were quite a bit longer than usual leaving about 1 - 1 1/2 inches beyond my toes. The stitching at the toe bases made this uncomfortable - meaning I might have kept the sandal otherwise.

My friend had a pair of these fitflops, and they looked so comfortable. I really need a flip flop with arch support. I typically wear a 7.5, and I ordered a 7 based on several reviews to size down, and often 8 is too big. I was disappointed because I could not easily get my foot into the flip flop because I have such high arches / instep. When my foot was all the way in the shoe, it fit perfectly, it just wasn't comfortable. Unfortunately, I had to return them.

I am a flip flop girl but these killed me in between my toes. Too stiff and scratchy. Sadly, I must return them. Other than that, the shoes seemed very comfortable and had excellent support.

I was hopeful that the new Walkstar III would be narrower than the original. While somewhat narrower, I still find this shoe very bulky and overly wide and cumbersome. The top is also very loose, despite ordering a size smaller. If you can get it to fit your foot it does feel like a very comfortable footbed.

Not crazy about these unfortunately. My sister in law had a pair that I tried on and seemed so comfy. I ordered them in an 8 (wear 8.5 usually) but seemed too short in heel, so I ordered the 9. I wore them for a day and the toe post rubbed my toes so bad! And they kept moving backward and I'd have to push them back on. I think my arches (and thus top of foot) are to high for these. I wish I could return them, but they're already worn. Bummer. I wanted to like them.

This is truly a mixed review. I bought this sandal in Bronze last May before trip to steamy hot Honduras. I was about to leave the shoe store and noticed a few women looking at the display and one of them told me she was buying a second and third pair, because she so loved her first pair. I tried them on and was sold. And, I also found them right away incredibly comfortable. They were my go to open-toe choice all spring and summer last year - 5 stars in all respects. But I just bought them in Black Patent leather and so far, in the first few days of wear, they have rubbed the inside of my second toe to blisterdom. Don't know why the difference in the two leathers - go figure. Hope the new pair just needs a tad of wearing in.
