These are the first flipflops that I've been able to wear for an extended period of time. I've been wearing insoles for about 5 years, and my feet begin to hurt within hours of not wearing the insoles. I can wear FitFlops all day. The support is wonderful. I would recommend FitFlops to anyone who hasn't been able to wear sandles and wishes they could.

They're SO comfortable...I bought a pair for my 77 year old mother and she won't wear anything else. She recently fractured her pelvis and after physical therapy was still in pain, but after walking for a while in these sandals she really doesn't have any more pain (or not as much)...I'm buying my second pair on Amazon.com and have referred this site to my sister so she can buy a pair too!

I read the reviews on this style of fitflop and even though I had a pair of the original Walkstars in a size 10, I ordered a size 9. Well, it was too small. The tags advise you to take 20-30 brisk steps in the sandal and if your heel slides off the back of the sandal or to the right or left at all, you need to go up a size. All of these sandals seem to be made for long toes, as the length in front of my toes is almost as long in the size 9 as my size 10's. I am therefore exchanging the 9's for 10s, as the 9's are too small. I do have wide feet although I can wear normal width shoes with no problems, so I don't know if that's why they are more true to size for me. It might be a good idea to find them in a store first and walk around the store in them a bit and then order them here - as they are usually cheaper on Amazon with more colors and free shipping.
As far as the fit part goes, I don't really know yet, I ordered them based on reviews from people who have back and leg problems and have reported no pain when using these sandals. As a person with sciatica and almost no cartilage in my arthritic left knee, these are so comfortable I can walk three times as far with no pain as is any other of my supposedly "comfortable shoes". If you care about the fit part, they may work, but if you are looking for comfortable shoes because of back or knee problems, I could not recommend these sandals highly enough!

My hubby got these for me last August for my birthday. I LOVE them! They where soft and cushy the first time I slid them on my feet. I did need to size down a half-size. I highly recommend them! They look great too!
THE best sandals EVER! September 19, 2009

My girl friend told me about these sandals which she said helped her with her bad knees so I gave them a try. I inflamed my sesamoid bone in my foot back in March due to walking down a steep cement driveway in high heels. Long story short, nothing worked so instead of getting surgery to cut the bone out, the doc put my foot and calf into a hard cast and gave me crutches for a month. I lost calf muscle and my ankle was very tight when I got the cast off. Through massage and just floor exercises, I was strengthening my muscles again. But I wanted to get out of the soft walking cast and into a pair of shoes that matched so I could start re-training my body to walk normal again and not have a limp in my gait forever.
So I got a pair of the walkstar IIIs in all black so I could try to still be fashionable and wear them to work and for fun. They were so comfy. I first used them to walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night, then around the house after a day in the walking cast/running shoe combo. Two weeks later, I went on a trip to FL and once I landed there and I puffed up from the humidity, I just LIVED in these shoes for the whole week. I wasn't tired at all and I didn't limp at all either! I wore out my friend I went to see. We went shopping all day one day, standing for hours at a time and by night, I was still full of energy and ready to rock while my friend was pooped and passed out for night. I love these shoes! I can't wait to get a pair in brown.
I tried the other styles on but this was my favorite because of the patent leather straps vs. the fabric bands. These straps felt more comfy and cushy than the fabric ones. I had read lots of reviews before going out to find my pair so I was aware to make sure the straps felt comfy right when I put them on since the straps don't stretch at all. I can't say my sesamoiditis inflamed bone under the padding of my big toe is cured due to the cast or these sandals, BUT I can say that these sandals are the first pair of shoes that I have been able to wear and they are responsible for my entrance back into normal walking and exercising again. Thank you so much! I tell all my girl friends, some who don't even have foot issues, to get a pair of these cause they are the BEST sandals I've ever owned.
