Are Fitflop Ballerina/Due shoes as good as their flipflops?

I posted on here before and received lots of helpful feedback ( Thanks again to those that posted) about Fitflops and wide feet. I now own a lovely comfortable pair of Lulu Fitflops and they have been great but as much as I'd like to continue to wear flipflops it is getting cold!

I have a foot problem (plantar fasciitis) so I want the springy and supportive base that Fitflops offer. Has anyone worn their:

Due

Ballerina

Due with a strap

Are they as comfortable as the flipflop versions? They are pretty pricey but might be worth it.

TIA

Hopeful bump.

They would feel the same as fit flops as same soles. Id try them though as I found them quite narrow.

Ok thanks Down they do suggest they are more narrow than their flipflops. Will order some and see.

I tried these on recently in the same hope, but they were terribly narrow. They weren't glossy, more like canvas, they were so gorgeous. Very disappointed. Watching with interest

The sneakers aren't too narrow. I've got three pairs and wide-ish feet and find them great. The black on black one would be suitable for most work environments - though probably not with skirts.

Just a quick update on this.

I bought the mink Due and they are great and were reduced down to £42. They are really comfortable esp with my dodgy foot/ankle.

They can look a bit 'old lady sensible shoe' but I guess they are!!

I thought I had wide feet but they fit ok. Maybe I have the same misconception about my feet as some people have on the bra threads!

Thanks again for the input.
