(More customer reviews)If you like the ease of rubber flip flops but are smart enough to realize that flip flops offer your feet absolutely no protection or support....then these are the rubber thongs for you!
Fit Flops exploded on the scene several years ago with a marketing campaign that promised an exercized leg and a fabulously improved derriere by merely wearing a pair! Yeah, right! LOL! Dream on, Missy!
Ok, now that's out of the way, lets give credit where credit is due by saying that these are extremely comfortable and supportive and not bad looking either.
There are multiple models of Fit Flops. The Walkstar 111 model, which is relatively recent, employs a single piece of well padded leather that extends from the thong between the toes, up over the top of the foot, and is attached to both sides of the footbed. The leather top is more "rigid" than the grosgrain fabric bands of earlier models and seems to provide more support by preventing the foot from slipping as much from side to side.
The circular Fit Flop logo remains at the top of the instep but as a decorative, non-structural element.
The Walkstar 111 comes in many color combinations. I own the black patent and am quite pleased with them.
The footbed is the same as earlier models. It is 1 1/2" high at the heel and is contoured to the shape of the foot. This contouring cradles the foot and provides excellent support....for a flip flop....these do not take the place of normal shoes. These are not for long hikes, spinning class, jogging, trekking, mambo lessons, etc.
In my experience, these are excellent very casual shoes to wear around, go to the beach with, change into at the end of the day. I find them supportive, comfortable and comforting to aching feet. I also own an earlier version, the Walkstar, in Bronze. I've worn them for over a year and they've held up very well. I've worn them in the rain and they are none the worse for wear.
One caveat. They come in whole sizes only. I usually wear a size 7 1/2 but I wear size 7 Fit Flops. Some people size up, some size down. Try before you buy!
