I've wanted to read a positive review of these fit flops, but it's been a matter of finding one, so thankyou for this! They're actually more stylish than I remember when they first came out. xXx

They look great. Can you tell me though where they are made. I looked on the website and there's no clue. I therefore suspect China which would make them a no-no. I will not buy Chinese-made goods. They have an appalling human rights record and I won't be a party to it.
I check every item I buy so could you just check the country of manufacture, please?
If you have a chance I'm ja_latham@hotmail.com. Thanks.

I absolutely LOVE Fitflops! They are pricey but you are right. They are the most comfortable shoes/slippers ever. I gave them a glowing review too - I hope these get here. I like the bronze one :)

I bought a pair of these in the black patent last Spring and lived in them all summer. They are really comfortable and I don't think they look too bad either!

I wish there were more styles without the toe post - the Fitflop ones always give me horrific blisters.

Hi Jalen, they are indeed made in China.

Thanks! They look great but I can console myself that I don't fare well with toe-post footwear.

Just bought and have been wearing a pair of Pietras, the advantage (or disadvantage if you have wide feet) is that they are built on a new, much narrower fitting sole. I have two other pairs of Fitflops (in addition to two styles of the winter ones) and although very comfy they look a bit boat like and ungainly on my narrow size 4 feet. The Pietras are much more presentable and neat fitting, they also have a bit of a higher wedge which is nice if like me you are are a short-arse! So highly recommended; shame about being made in China though.

hmm. I would love to get on with Fitflops but took a pair back. Should I buy them smaller or larger than normal footwear? I found they kept slipping off - nightmare. I have wide feet, size 4and a half. Would love some advice as I would love to try again.

Jo I really don't know - I am the same size as you and always opt for the size 5s...they are fine on my fat feet! xx

Okay, now I want to try these. I have MBTs but I hardly ever wear them as the soles are so extreme. (I feel like I'm a foot taller when I put them on.) These look a bit more reasonable... and it would be nice to get the bum/thigh workout.

I still haven't bought a pair but with fancy stones like the Pietra and a 25% disc. this weekend at Macys dept.store in US , I am on the lookout. I will be checking them out tonight :) I remember your rave reviews. The sequin ones were almost mine last summer. Glad I waited.
