The first time I put my foot in it, the strap felt so hard that I was afraid it would cut my skin and I would end up not wearing them. As I live in overseas I couln't bother returning, I decided to give it a try. Surprisingly, after a few hours of wearing at home it started to fit my feet. So, I walked to a supermarket once in them but the toe part cut my skin a bit. After this incident though, it stopped hurting me anymore, and I can even push a baby stroller and walk to a supermarket and carry heavy bags home without any sign of redness or discomfort! I bought a Black pair and it goes well with most of the clothes I have.

I don't know if this is because of Fitflops but I seem to have lost weight over the past 3 weeks since I started to wear them without changing diet, and can fit in pants which are one size smaller! (By the way, I also wear a pair of Fitflop Walkstar all day at home.) Highly recommended!
