I ordered 2 pairs of FitFlops.  Found them in the FootSmart magazine for lower body health.  Received the 1st pair this Saturday(11/10/12). I was so glad they came in good time. I have terrible pain in my right foot and the foot dr. has asked me to wear the big-fat boot (quite a huge inconvenience). Since I can't drive with the big boot, I needed shoes that can still give me ample support so I don't have to wear that boot all the time. These boots have the support, you can feel the layers of good support when you walk in them. I'd love to give them five stars but I can't. This superboot is superhard to wear!  Tried wearing these for 20min. this morning. The right foot--no problem, goes in just fine... the left foot--not so much.  After 20min of trying different methods of getting the 2nd shoe in (desperately needed to wear black shoes today), I finally gave up.  So just as I was deciding to ship back, my foot finally went in. Are these Fitflops not made the same size?! Uggghh! I have them on at work, got too warm, had to take them off and now I can't get the left boot back in. I hope I'm able to get it back on before it's time to leave the office at 4pm. I am usually a size 7 1/2 but had to order the 8. The boot has plenty of room in the front of the shoe, just toooo narrow where the actual foot goes in. What the heck?

My take--the person who designed this SHOULD have done more "trial studies" for the audience of these boots" or they should have at least been fired.  I buy so much from Amazon... I don't think anyone should be allowed to sell a $100/boot that we can't wear on this website or anywhere else.  Horrible! I wanted to give the boots a chance (inspite the reviews that said they were hard to wear). These are SUCH nice boots/TOOO expensive to have such an issue in my opinion. I wanted to like them, but sadly -- I'm sending them back.  Not sure I'll be trying FitFlops again :(
