    Fit flops are the ones with the curved sole right ?

    I thought they gave your calfs a workout?

    I didn't think they were even meant to be super comfortable?

    Are they really comfortable? Why? The thick sole?

    Calf workout = marketing ploy

    I have trouble with my feet and have to wear arch supports. I have 3 pairs of fitflops, I can wear them without supports and they are super comfortable.

    Any other shoes without supports and I cant wear/stand for more than a few minutes
  • I have yet to find a pair of comfy flip flops!
  • i would ditch the flip flops and go for birkenstocks or similar - primark are doing 'birkenstocks' for £5 and they are surprisingly comfortable - even if you only use them for a short time you havent lost anything!

    I swear by Fitflops but I wouldn't wear them for a lot of walking as it is bad for your feet to be so unsupported. Not sexy but I like a pair of trekking type sandals from camping shops for walking rather than pottering about.

    Not sure why this thread has popped up again, the OP is over a year old!

    Anyway, I bought my first pair of Birkenstocks from QVC, a couple of months ago. I can't wear flip-flops, I just can't tolerate toe-posts. I don't like sandals anyway because I don't like my feet being exposed but it's been so hot here I had to get something.

    They are a revelation! It's like walking on air and although they're possibly the ugliest shoes that I own, they are just so comfy.

    I bought a pair of these....in sparkly pink! :D
