I wanted to try FitFlops after the positive feedback from my uncle (who shattered both heels 8 years ago and says these are the only shoes that don't hurt his feet). They ARE super comfortable. And that would have earned them 5 stars.
However, first one and a half stars were lost for the lack of colorfastness. If you (FitFlop) are going to make a shoe that you specifically tell customers (it was a note in the box, not on the website) is not color fast & may stain your socks (it does) then.. um.. I don't know.. try using different materials. Or maybe, don't use fire engine red as the color of the insole? How about tan? Something less horrifically bloody on the bottom of white (and colored) socks. And after wearing all day, the top of my toe was grey because the felt upper didn't hold it's color either. I like my socks, that is why I buy them. I don't really want to have to choose socks based on whether they will stain from my shoes or not.l
The remaining half star lost was for sizes. I wear an 11 (approx) and these do fit great. But I ordered this specific pair because the selection of shoes for size 11 is pitiful (better than some brands but still very lacking). Hello to the world - women wear shoes higher than size 9.
