Quite some time ago I bought a pair of Fit Flops. At first I didn't wear them, I thought they looked bulky and thick. Then, one fine day, I put them on and found, to my surprise, that they were one of the most comfortable things I had ever put on my feet. I have a real problem with shoes...I don't like to wear them. I was the flip-flop queen. But as I grow a bit older, I find I need more support than a thin line of rubber between me and the pavement.
I can walk all day in Fit Flops and my feet remain happy. They have a good arch and also magically make you stand up straighter. With its solid thick sole, you feel cushioned from the jolts of life in this concrete world. Also, I wear a 10 1/2 or 11, depending, and my foot is on the narrow side. I rarely find comfortable shoes that I like in my size. It's like shoes go from size 8 or 9 to trogdalyte fashion or nothing at all. I am going to purchase several more pairs of Fit Flops. I urge Fit Flop to keep designing new looks for those of us who don't wear big flowers on our shoes or shiney faux snake skin. There are some clean, simple designs now that I had not previously seen. In conclusion, if at first you hesitate, just try them on and keep on walking!
