I don't want to write a book but I am trying to be detailed since many peoplebuy this brand for pain relief. Summary of my fall and early winter: So many brands, so much shipping tape.  The first ray of light was a pair of the Byker Boots (purchased HERE) with strap on arch supports. Went back to try the Mukluks for the 2nd time and ordered these as well. When I put these on the bod said YES!!  I still need a little more arch support but the instep was high enough for a pair of Spenco Total Support insoles (purchased HERE) and that was the crowning touch. Yes, the shaft is narrow.  Some will have trouble getting into them but suede and leather stretch. The new foot design is just slightly narrower behind your toes. It means I  have room to wiggle my toes but foot does not slide, meaning less fascitis unless you have a narrow foot.  Then you keep calling FitFlop and telling them we need different widths. The stats say the heel is 2 inches and the platform 1 inch but it does not feel that way.  It does not place your foot so high that you get forefoot pressure and has a little softer cushion than the Byker or the Lounge clog. (Make this in a flat slip on??) It is not clunky looking as some complain about FF boots. Really cute and although there is no shearling, it seems warm and just comforting. This is a home run for my feet. Probably not a snow boot but I am looking forward to a real hike with my dogs again instead of dreading the pain.
