FitFlop Inuk tall boots - advice please

glowgirl_2

I would like to buy some of these today, I know some of you have these and wonder if you would answer a couple of questions for me before I go ahead

Do you buy a size smaller as with Uggs?

Can you fold them down? I want black ones, what colour is the sheepskin inside?

How do they compare to Uggs in general?

Do they actually tone, are they comfy?

Do they collapse at the back?

Thanks for any advice:)

I went down a size.

However with Uggs I go down two sizes.

Some of the fit flop boots are on sale at running bare (not sure of the web address)- down to £100 if that helps. I have ordered from them before.

Do you buy a size smaller as with Uggs? Yes, I am a 5 and bought a pair of 5s in October and they have 'grown' so have bought 4s this time!

Can you fold them down? I want black ones, what colour is the sheepskin inside? They would be quite hard to fold down but if you have skinny calves it may be possible. I don't have black ones but imagine that the inside is black as inside of brown ones is brown!

How do they compare to Uggs in general? I find them much comfier and can't go back to any other boots now as they feel so unsupportive in comparison.

Do they actually tone, are they comfy? Yes and yes! When you first start wearing them you can really feel your muscles working.

Do they collapse at the back? Nope :j

Thanks for any advice:)

Hope this helps!

Thank you, great reply, the site I found had them for £100 (the one recommended above dosent have the black I wanted) and they have no sizes left in any colours:mad:I shall have to hunt around again later now I am fully informed I can just grab a bargain when I see it;)

Aw, good luck! I got my last pair (the tan colour) a few weeks ago from a shop called JK's who sent them to me. They were half price so £99 ish. I don't know if they have any stock left but worth giving them a call (number is 01472233475, just remembered I saved it in my phone!) They have a website but I can't post links yet - if you search the forums for 'fitflops' it should take you to an old 'i wanna pair of fitflops' thread which has a link. It'd be better to call them anyway as the site doesn't show stock levels and I always prefer to speak to a real person! If you don't have any luck with them then go to the fitflop website and look at the retailiers list, it's worth phoning a few to see if they have stock and if they do they may post them to you (yes, this is the voice of experience, can you tell I was desperate to get my hands on a pair?!)
I was really pleased to find somewhere that still had my size as every online retailer seems to have pretty much sold out. I wanted a pair of mukluks but they disappeared so quick I didn't have a chance!
Good luck with your hunt!

My wife swears by her fitflops She got hers from Running Bare the Inuk boots and normal walkstars - http://www.runningbare.co.uk/

(she wore them all the time when she was pregnant and tells anyone he listens - hence my knowledge - go on test me!)
Hope this helps

I had forgotten about this thread but have since changed my mind about buying fitflop boots, I still love the idea behind them and I know that they do work and many of you love them, however, I was originally buying them without having seen them in person, only online, cos I live somewhere you just wouldn't get them, I went to the Vitality Show last week and Fitflop had a stall there and I hated the boots as soon as I saw them:(, if I had bought them they would of been sent back, shallow? maybe but if I don't like them them I don't like them, I'm sticking to Uggs:DThanks for the replies and the advice:)
