i've been envying fit flops for a while now but hadn't had time to really look up all the styles. My mom wanted a new pair of flip flops, but she has rheumatoid arthritis and bunions. She doesn't walk around much anymore, but she wanted something stylish but that could still fit well on her feet. I ordered 9 thinking that would fit her 8.5W feet well. Well, I also generally wear an 8.5 wide. I tried them on and wow! They are a tiny bit long, but they fit my feet! Great quality product and the comfort and decent support is there. I have since bought another style for myself.
