This is my second pair of FitFlops. The first pair I bought I have worn them so until they are just plain scuzzy looking and showing signs of wear so I bought a new pair to wear when guest are around or for vacation. These work for me because they have very good support, seem to be true to size and maintain their shape well. If you are looking for a warm fuzzy inside sole this may not be for you because the inside sole just feels like a regular shoe on your feet but gives excellent support when standing in the kitchen for long periods of time. Also note that these are suede and will holdup better if treated with a protectant before initial wearing.
