I live in Florida and wear flip-flop type shoes probably 9 months out of the year.  I have a lot of the OKAb brand, but had never heard of FitFlops until a friend introduced me to them.  I now have the Lunetta style in pewter, black and bronze!  These shoes are even more comfortable than OKAb's and almost as decorative.  I even wear these when I go on one of my marathon shopping trips!!
