I now own 4 pairs of fitflops and just love how they feel and function. I just from got from Amazon the royal blue for jeans and the color is beautiful. I work on my feel and can wear sandals on the job. When I stand for long periods, I rock back and forth from toes to heels and it's like having a little energizing break on my legs. Feels really good. When I wear fitflops, my feet feel fine at the end of the day and can even run errands. The sole of the sandals is supportive and cushioned enough to absorb the hardness of the ground and I feel no soreness due to standing on a hard ceramic floor. The canvas strap sandals I emblish with fabric braids and flatback crystals and get asked where did I get the unique fitflops. Here in Hawaii I'm seeing more & more people wearing them. The recognizable logo gets inquiries on do they really work. I say they work for me, I just wouldn't wear them or any sandal on a rainy day since the wettness causes bad traction when walking. Sorry to all had bad expriences in the rain. I get stained feet from shoes as well. Rainy days are for light color Skechers.
