Customer Reviews FitFlop Electra

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 am so glad that Zappos now has these. I own 6 pairs of FitFlops. I have the sequined ones in black and gold. These are the most amazingly comfortable and supportive sandals you can find. I had foot problems for a year and these were the only shoes I could wear without pain. You can walk for miles in them and look sexy at the same time. Buy them, you will be amazed.

These sandals provide excellent support for me. I wear them at least part of every day, and they are good even on our ceramic tile floors. Since I have low and sometimes painful arches, these are one of my "go to" sandals. I love the shiny look, too. Usually I wear a 7 1/2 - 8, but this is just right in a 7.

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!

I bought these shoes for my mom just for a cruise trip. She loved them. They're very comfortable. You can wear them all day. It's the kind of shoe you would want to wear walking all day at Disney World instead of sneakers.

Fit Flop fits my lifestyle and keeps my legs in shape. These flops are worth every cent - they mold to your foot and provide cushion and rock you to your next step. Love the glitter - it's casual feel with a bit of glitz!

I love my fit flops and have them in every color. I have had three knee replacements and these shoes are my favorite to wear, the most comfortable. I am reordering some today.

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.

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 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.

Great flip flop with just enough sparkle to brighten up my boring mom clothes. Look great and are so comfortable. Will by another pair closer summer.

Really wanted to love and keep these...even though several people have stated that the thong was painful until covered with a bandaid, I assumed that they had very sensitive toes. Got them today and love the color and the bling, but the thong feels like it's also lined with sequins and is cutting my toes. Can't quite figure out what the problem is. Don't see any sequins that would be touching my toes, but I can't even wear them for long enough to tell if they are comfortable so they are going back tomorrow.

This particular style of FitFlop sandal does not work well for a narrow foot. A change of size and style, however, solved my problem. I will definitely buy Fit Flops again now that I know which ones work for me.

I love these sandals! When I put them on it was almost like wearing nothing. They are so light and comfortable. I can wear them for a casual affair or for more dressy activities. The material shines but they do not seem over decorated.

I love these shoes! I've had my original pair for years when they first came out. Unfortunately, the toe separator came right out. This pair has more style and they are super comfortable!

These are so comfortable and they don't flop around. I am a true 8 but I bought the 7 based on reviews that they run large. I am so glad I did, they fit perfect. You can walk in these all day long and your feet feel so supported. I walk barefoot around the house because I like to be comfortable, but they are actually more comfortable than being barefooted. And they are cute too. I bought a pewter pair as well. Wish I could get a light neutral cream color.

Shoes arrived so fast! The color is perfect. And the comfort is even better. I have feet pain due to surgery, etc. and need something that I can walk around in and not have to worry about pain. But I still want to look fashionable and cute at the same time. If this sounds like you...choose these!

These FitFlops are great. They provide so much more support for my arches and ankles than real flat flip flops.

These are great shoes! They are perfect for casual or more dressy occasions. I have been wearing them everywhere. I am a medium width. These tend to be on the wider side, but they are comfortable. If you are a narrow, I would choose another style.

I love this shoe! It is the most comfortable thing I have had on my feet in years! I work in them. I walk miles in them. I just ordered their clogs because I need to be wearing closed toe shoes at work. The fit flop sole is so comfortable and supportive. I can wear them anytime, anywhere for as long as I want.

They were a little roomier than the last 2 pairs that I bought. The 2 other pairs were a different style. The size was the same.

Living in the Southwest, these type of shoes are year round and these are the best flip-flops yet. Extremely comfortable and so cute.

Great sandals! Comfortable, stylish. I could wear them everyday.

I love fitflops! I have 5 pairs and they are all I wear due to feet problems. Since I live in Florida it's easy to get by wearing them night and day.

I have received so many compliments on these flip flops. They are not only cute but extremely comfortable. I am on my feet a lot and luckily there is enough arch support that my feet don\'t ache halfway through the day.
