I love Fit Flops and have so many pairs.
I have recently found out I have Moretons neuroma on my foot and Fit Flops are the only shoes that help.
I get pain in the ball of my foot and Fit Flops are so well padded it's worth paying the extra for them.
I started off a few years ago with the toe post sandals in black, then bought silver and a brown suede pair.
I'm now the owner of a black pair of shiny loafers, a blue pair, some gladiator type sandals that I can walk in for ever, one in gold and one in silver.
I also have the clog slippers, so you could say I'm converted.
As for the cost, I agree they are expensive but I bought the loafers in the outlet sale on their website, but they are so comfortable that I think they are well worth it. I had so many sandals for £25 - £40 that after a while were just uncomfortable, so a waste of money.
I've just last week bought a pair of white trainer/sneakers for dog walking and forget I have them on.
Go for it, from a Fit Flop fan!
