If you have foot issues you need to take care.

First of all your feet are more sensitive.

Second anything between your toes can aggravate the whole foot.

I own 3 pairs. I do not have foot issues but I can’t imagine they help?? They were once advertised as a way to tone up. False.

I like a heel and they are comfortable. Pricey

I've had a couple pair. They are very comfortable. My issue was with the toe thing. I see they do have them now without and when I need new shoes I'll definetley check them out.

My BFF has issues with her feet (worse than mine) and she swears by them. if you have heel issues, they are great. The material they're made from is "squishy" so you don't hit the ground with a shock, they have plenty of give.

There are several on clearance on the HSN website. I know there are some big retailers that also sell them so fi there is one near you, give them a try.

I've also seen them at TJX and Marshalls but that's hit or miss, especially with sizes.

Good Luck!

Very comfortable, but my Alegrias have more support.

I love Fitflops and own many pairs. I have sandals, sneakers, boots, and slippers. They really help give my feet the proper support to eliminate pain. I loved them so much that my hubby tried some men’s sandals and he loves them.

I have found that their fit varies widely. They have at least two kinds of footbeds (one has a red disk in the sole and one has yellow) which fit differently and the different styles of uppers vary in fit widely. When I find a style that fits correctly, they are some of the most comfortable shoes ever. But, they can be hard to find in styles that give you the perfect fit. I wish their sizing was more consistent.

@emmysmom, I have FitFlop high-top sneakers that I wear to work out. They are very supportive. While I do not have serious foot issues, I have knee and IT band issues, and these help quite a bit.

These are the last things in the world a person with foot issues should wear. I've found that most women have no idea what a "supportive" shoe is. I've had serious pronation issues my entire life. Until I left home, mother made me wear stiff, supportive oxfords. At one point I had major surgery on my right ankle and foot which pretty much didn't help. A generic arch support doesn't make a shoe supportive.

I think the ones I bought have a red disk...I used to wear berkinstocks but I find the footbed is too hard for me now. I have several and they're still in perfect shape!
