Fit Flops

I agree I find the toe post fit flops really uncomfortable have thought of buying the other style then was browsing in Matalan and bought a pair of lookalike fit flops for around £10 and they are sooo comfortable am unlikely to take them off until November

They have changed Fitflops. They are nothing like as comfortable now. They have made them more fashion-ish looking, to the detriment of comfort.

I have sent for a very slightly used pair of the old kind from e-bay. I am only talking lace-ups here though. I don't really know about the sandal type ones. My sandals are Hotter.

They do have quite a few Fitflops on ebay. They do last for ages.

I would love these but they haven't got them in my size - thank goodness.

Hello, been lurking for a while but never posted. I just wanted to say that you can buy a gel pad that fits around the toe post and makes it much comfier until your skin has got used to the post. I think Dr Scholls or possibly Boots do them, and they work a treat.

I just can't get away with toe posts, no matter how hard I try. At the moment I'm in love with my Betula birkenstock flat sandals. I got them in the orange swirly colour. As you all may have gathered, I'm not a dedicated follower of fashion. I like comfort

JAM nice to hear from you, don"t be shy, just get stuck in !

Lots of friendly people here, not everyone agrees with each other but that is how life goes, all works out in the end !!

It's worth knowing about the gel pad; I've got gel pads for most areas of my feet [might as well find one that covers the whole foot, perhaps] but didn't know about those. I, too have never been able to wear sandals with toe posts, but I have got a couple of pairs that I could dig out and try. Thanks jam [I even have a little box that once held rose scented soap for my little gel collection].

these look nice and are a bit cheaper.

I'm another who doesn't like toe dividers. I'd never heard of Fitflops until I bought a navy pair in John Lewis a couple of months ago. They are very comfortable and can walk for miles in them without trouble. Had a friend down from Scotland who has just gone back. We traipsed all around London for three or four days visiting major museums and various other sites, a lot of walking was involved. The base of Birkenstocks looks very hard and uncomfortable compared to Fitflops.

Mine are the same as Jingle's "I would love these", possibly a bit expensive, but depends how often you intend to wear them, I'm wearing mine a lot.

Chloe, I've bought some of the Matalan ones as well. They really are comfortable (and are quite pretty with a sort of flower thingy on the front)? Mine were £12, but the last pair in my size had a little mark on the side so I got a reduction of 10%. It rubbed off no problem!

Mine are black with very small sequinny things wish I had bought at least two more pairs now. Excellent to get a reduction well done you.
