Let me start by sharing that I am a HUGE fan of "between the toe" FitFlops!  I have 20-25 pair and most fond of the "cha-chas" style and earlier offered bijoo style with sparkly jewels. I ordered this pair for the metallic silver, yet they fit a bit differently than others I own. They tend to run a bit large and shoebed seems slightly wider. Evenso, I kept them and think they'll work well for walking along sandy beaches. I highly recommend FitFlops in general to anyone who has arthritic knees. I wear these from spring to fall and find them more comfortable than any shoe I've ever worn. I only wish they would develop more blingy and brightly colored styles!!!  The most vibrant I've found are the flame and passion fruit colors. I am NOT a fan of the styles without the toe post.  They are entirely too wide for my B width foot.
