help! save me from fitflops

[sarahseashell]

Ok so last year I thought 'this is it' and threw away the fugly fitflops I'd been living in for the past 2 years - before that I had different ones for a couple of years. I hate the look of them and mumsiness but they're oh so comfortable.

But now I've found myself considering getting some more please help me find some comfy but trendy sandals - I walk around a lot have fat wide feet and cankles
Ordinary flip flops are not great for lots of walking I find, need a little bit of a heel but not too much

Gobblers I like the look of those rocket ones. I don't suppose you know how large they come up? I'm a Clarks 4.5 and never know whether to go up or down a size when shopping online.

thanks everyone

I especially like the reef and rocketdogs

I got the Clarks Rona Sparkle last year and the rubbed my ankle, so couldn't wear them for walking far. Hope you have better luck cos I loved how they look.

Who cares? They are comfy and fit well, not like you are wearing them for a night out. Get another pair

I got some of these last week & its like wearing comfy slippers.

Only a tenner too

another plantar fasciitis sufferer here and fit flops are all I can wear in summer. I have to wear an orthotic insole usually and if I don't I get excruciating knee pain, but not with the fit flops. Some of their new designs are quite lovely. Not mumsy at all imo.

In fact I'm going to buy a pair of their boots for the winter this year, so impressed am I with how they support my buggered up instep.

I bought some new Fitflops last week. My lower back has been so painful and they really helped.

clairedunphy I think I would go up a size, I am a seven and my sevens fit me very snugly, I wouldn't want them any smaller, but think that half a size bigger would be fine. They are amazingly comfy :)

Thanks Gobblers, that's great. Love your user name btw, it's making me chuckle!

Gabor sandals are worth a try - i think they're actually a frumpy make but bizarrely the sandals work - and are comfy!

Hevenly feet wedges are amazingly comfortable and cheap being leather lined synthetic.

I've been walking miles in my fitflops lately - they are SO comfy.

Before fit flops I had a few pairs of Merrell flip flops.

I have 'smart' impractical flip-flops for evening wear, but in the day I want them to be super-comfy and on a par with trainers.
