I looked at all the reviews before buying a FitFlop shoe, and none of them mentioned that the shoe can cause plantar fascitis so I have to write this review.  The footbed is poorly shaped.  It is a U shaped footbed, which caused my foot to pronate (walk on my arches).  After wearing them once, I had terrible pain in my feet and could barely walk the next morning.  So, nine months later.... my feet have still not healed even after several visits to the doctor and podiatrist.  If you have flat feet or even a slight tendency to walk on your arches, please do yourself a favor, and don't buy these shoes.
