These shoes are so comfortable! Great support. They have helped alleviate my heal pain. I'm not sure that they actually help on the fitness front but they do make my feet feel better. I will buy another pair.

The incredible FitFlops - so glad Zappos is finally carrying them. With back and foot problems, I find that nothing is so comfortable and so good for my posture as FitFlops. The Sesto Meucci’s and Prada’s are sitting forlorn in the closet because I just can't stop wearing the FitFlops. I wish Zappos would get more styles without the logo and in the clogs and hopefully in the boots by winter season. I have 6 pairs in various styles that I purchased from other sources last year but Zappos fast shipping and great customer service make it my preferred store. PLEASE MORE STYLES!!!!

I bought the Walkstar 3 in Bronze about a month ago and just love them! I am a hairstylist and work five days a week and they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worked in! I have had a lot of back problems in the past and think this shoe has helped my back and feet feel so much better! I would definitely recommend these to all my hairstylist friends they are great!

I have a wide foot c/d and a high arch. As such, the large strap that goes across the instep didn't allow for getting my foot comfortably forward in the shoe but after a bit of wear, it loosened and is fine.

I have 5-6 different pairs of Fit Flops but these really hurt my feet (part that is between my toes). I have tried to wear them around the house trying to break them in but they still hurt. I will stick with other styles from now on. Love my other Fit Flops.

Really like these shoes - look good and are comfortable! I am a 7.5 or 8 and needed an 8 to accommodate my high arch. Still feels a little bit "off" and I'm hoping the top will stretch just a tiny bit so my foot fits more snugly on the shoe. But, even now, it's a good shoe for me.

I gave these as a gift. Love them but they squeak when she walks. Appears to be the same insole but...

Buyers beware! These are not like the regular fit flops... soft and cushioning. They are much firmer, with some type of harder insert. Still a good shoe with high arch support, but simply not like the other two pairs I own from past purchases. Color is great and goes with anything.

I having been wearing fitflops a lot and have had at least 7 or 8 pairs - they are super comfortable but after some miles they do compress and are not as bouncy. This one in leather is a bit stiff - my favorite is the rocket with the sparkle. Definitely love fit flops, wear them constantly when warm and in the spa in winter - colder months.

As I had anticipated, these are very comfortable, and look great too. The only problem is they feel a little loose on. These are very comfortable.

I love the comfort and look of this, but my toes do not fit properly. Was going to return them, then I decided to wear them a few times to give them a chance. trying to losen up and hopefully will fit better. If not, I will have no choice but to return them.

Very comfortable shoe! Only complaint is that I am a 7 1/2 and I ordered the size 8 since only whole sizes are available. I feel like they are a little big/clunky; wish they were a half size smaller!

These flip flops are extremely well cushioned and comfortable for standing and walking. The only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars for comfort is the toe piece is a bit stiff and rubs for the first few wearings. The patent leather adds a bit of style to an otherwise less than stylish shoe.

May help to know that, since there are no half sizes with FitFlops, choosing the smaller size made for a near-perfect fit for me. Amazed that my Friday order arrived by postal service to my Hawaii home on Monday! Kudos to Zappos and USPS.

I got a small blister on one of my toes from where the thong part sat between my big toe and my other toes. It has healed up though and I've continued to wear these without any additional problems (or blisters). They are comfortable. I'm not sure if I am getting fit with them, but they are a comfy casual sandal.

Comfy fit, good support. However, the patent leather has a bit of a rough edge on the thong piece between the toes and it rubs me the wrong way, literally. I\'m hoping it will dissipate with wear and am not bothering to return them. I also have excessively high arches and I have to really snuggle my foot in to fit and as I drive, the shoe slips off a little because of the regular-sized arch. Still, very comfortable and the sole gives a little so once I have the shoe positioned it\'s snug but comfortable.

These are the only flip-flops I can wear because I have heel spurs. I can wear them comfortably all day long without pain. Great shoe!

I agree with a reviewer below, this is my second pair of the bronze color. I adored my first pair, but I am having trouble breaking in the second. The thong between my toes causes sores and scabs. I can only wear them about an hour at a time! My last pair I had no trouble with. The comfort of the sole is fabulous so I am determined to break them in but they changed something. Also, I have to size up, not down after doing the walking test recommended on the tags.

I love these except where thong joins top of sandal there is a sharp protrusion that juts out and rubs blisters on the inside top of both second toes.

I just got my first pair and got a size 5 and they'd fit if my instep wasn't so high. Darn! Nobody else had this problem? So sad. A size larger would be too long.

I really wanted to love this sandal as I had tried on one from a client. As a travel nanny I am on my feet a lot! They did seem true to size though a half size larger might have helped. The way the thong is attached, there is a raised triangle area and that area rests right under your big toe. For me it just rubbed a blister. If that thong was recessed, I think I would have loved this cushy flip flop.

Love 'em! These fit my feet a lot better then the first Fit Flops that came out. I don't buy these for the "exercise" aspect of them, but just because they are so comfortable. I wear them at work and at home; have them in 3 colors.

While these are comfortable and more supportive than the typical flip-flop. I am not noticing any workout effect at all. I also have a pair of Skechers Tone-Ups which definitely give me a lower body workout. The Skechers are cheaper in price and more effective so in the future. I will save my money and purchase the Skechers Tone-Ups. If you're wanting to pay more and only have a well-made pair of flip-flops for summer wear, this is the product for you.

This is my 4th pair of FitFlops. My other three were fabulous and I walked many miles in them; however, this style is uncomfortable! The toe piece hurts between my toes and the top bruises the top of my foot. I purchased the same size and they appear the same, but they are not as comfortable as the previous sandals I have owned so I won't be purchasing more.

Although everyone seems to rave about this brand I have a word of caution: First, like a few others I got a very bad blister on my second toe, due to the friction. It took over 2 weeks for the sore to heal and even now more than a month later I still have a red scar. But this is nothing, as I have been able to put the Fitflop on and wear them to walk my dog without incurring further pain or harm to my toe. What worries me is that after that first walk (20 minutes as recommended) I had a very bad pain on my left upper hip. I had never experienced any trouble in that area before. I thought at first that it was just a coincidence. So I kept wearing the shoes for parts of the day and preferably for my walks. I must say they feel very cushiony and comfortable otherwise. Every time I ended up with the same hip pain. I had a menisectomy that went wrong and it took me another surgery and 5 more years in order to recover almost (95%) completely. I still have a slight stiffness in that knee and I think it causes some stiffness in my left ankle too. I am mentioning this because that might be the reason behind the aggravation this fit flop sandal is causing. I have tested it many times: every time I walk or even wear the sandal at home, the pain returns and stops completely on days I don't put them on. They are good looking and I do plan to wear them when I go to the pool.
