I have a pair of Fit Flops that I bought last year and have worn constantly. They are the "basic" model, in red. So I was thinking that this year I'd add to my collection by getting something a little flashier. These are adorable. I'm giving them only 3 stars because they are a bit wider than the other style (I have a narrow foot and they don't stay on as well) and the sole is just not as comfortable. I was assuming that all Fit Flops are made from the same basic sole. Maybe they are making them differently this year, or else the more designed ones have a different base, but they are just not as to-die-for comfy as the others I have. That being said they are cute! I have foot problems (heel spurs and plantar fasciitis)and my podiatrist says Fit Flops are the only flip flops anyone should wear. I'm going to give the slippers a try when Winter rolls around.
