This is my third pair of Fitflops. Imediately after beginning to wear them, my feet felt so much better. I'd been having problems since moving into a house with tile floors and have seen three foot specialists. My feet still hurt even after surgery on one of them. A friend accidently discovered the unbelievable comfort of a pair of Fitflops. After trying them on, I ordered a pair for myself. The design of these shoes give great cushion both in the heel and ball of the foot. They are designed with a raised heel which relieves the pressure of the plantar fascia. If I wear anything other than Fitflops, the pain in my feet comes back. The lounge clog makes a great slipper and can be worn outside as well.
