I am a big fan of FitFlops.  And I do like these shoes - very much.  But be aware - they are different.  I had the original black ones.  These have a slightly higher wedge heel and the sole of the shoe feel different.  It's a bit more slippery.  I just got these yesterday so they do need to be broken in.  That said, the fit is very different.  I wear an ideal 8 3/4.  My old Fitflops fit perfectly in an 8.  These fit perfectly in a 9.  The 9 is also a bit narrower.  Not much, but it fits more like the 8 did.  DO NOT ORDER DOWN on this particular style!!!!!!  Are they comfortable - yes!  Do they work - I feel my legs "Hurting" at the end of the day, so yes!  I don't like how the sole is more slippery so I will get back to you on that.  And, these are much better looking than the older ones.  If you are new to FitFlops you will not be sorry when you are wearing these shoes.  They are truly the most comfortable shoes out there, at least the old ones were.  I hope these live up to the old ones.  And I will get back to you on that!  All in all: Great shoe!!!
