Win a new pair of Fitflops

If you’re a regular on the Style & Beauty board, you’re probably familiar with Fitflop: purveyor of comfy sandals that you can walk for miles in, and favourite footwear brand of Mumsnetters with tricky feet. For those of you not in the know, Fitflops are shoes with a specially-engineered sole for optimum comfort and support, and they’re available in all sorts of colours and styles.

"I'm a massive fan of Fitflops. I live in them during the summer and walk miles daily with no blisters or discomfort."

"I've almost worn out my 3rd pair, these have lasted over 18 months, daily wear indoor and out!"

"My feet really ache in most shoes, but these ones are brilliant. They look smart, not showing massive wear (yet) and worth the money."

But Fitflops aren’t just for summer, you can navigate pavement puddles and frosty mornings in their closed toe styles, and we want to know about your favourite pair.

Whether you’ve already got a pair of trainers that you swear by, or you’ve got your eye on something new, take a look at Fitflop’s closed toe shoes, post a link to your favourite pair, and tell us why you like them.

We will choose 10 winners next Tuesday (11 September) and each of them will receive a free pair of Fitflops of their choice.

This thread isn’t sponsored by Fitflop, but we might use it to give us a steer on future content.

Mumsnet carries some affiliate marketing links, so if you buy something through our posts, we may get a small share of the sale (more details here).

I really like these. I find a metallic shoe works well for workwear as it’s more universal than brown or black. These also span the smart/comfy sphere so I wouldn’t have to lug round 2 pairs of shoes on my travelling days:

My Fitflop sandals saved my back and feet this summer, would love a pair of boots for the winter. These are my fave, for jeans or dresses

Crossing toes and fingers :)

Well, I've never even considered them for a minute before as I cannot stand toe posts but these are BEAUTIFUL!

What a gorgeous colour and perfect for running around with my daughter.

SallieSallow · 08/09/2018 13:53

On the back of this thread I ordered these

www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/c/n-p-J67-001

They arrived today and are amazingly comfortable, I was a bit worried about them looking too heavy and clumpy as I have small feet and skinny ankles but they don't at all. I wouldn't wear them to anything where I needed to 'dress up' but think they'd be suitable for pretty much any and other all occasions.

I have my eye on these ones now for my next purchase

TittyFahLaEtcetera · 08/09/2018 14:14

I've been a fan of FitFlops for several years now, but sadly only have a couple of pairs still wearable. I find them super comfortable for work - I'm an NHS trainer and often spend hours on my feet at a time, covering training at three busy hospitals. I also have hypermobility, so shoes that correctly support my flat feet and encourage my ankles, knees, hips and back to stay in line are absolutely essential to manage my pain - see why I'm such a fan?! I love the versatility of the styles and have worn my sandals at work, casually and for nights out. After this summer i have perfect FitFlop tanlines!

But Winter is coming, as Sean Bean says, and I need something fab on my feet to go with the rest of the hygge vibe I like to rock in the colder months, so I've opted for these: www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/womens-new-arrivals-view-all-uk/alexa-classic-snake-print-chelsea-boots-p-M59-001 They look like the perfect blend of style and comfort, and again, something that can be dressed up or down for the occasion.

Classic and comfy - love fitflops and have ballerina knits

abitoflight · 08/09/2018 14:45

I'm surprised how many styles not backless or toe-post! I can't wear either so will have a try when I see them in store
Best for me is the Chelsea boot - I'd love some of these for running about in

Fitflops, closed toe, who knew! linny-faux-leather-slides-p-N91-001these however although sandals look the perfect thing for walking and still looking stylish in summer and into early autumn. there were so many I was torn between these, the tie bow sneakers, the absolutely lovely gold leafy sandals and the very practical audrey loafers.... just waiting for ny pay rise and I'll be spending it wisely Wink

The dreaded plantar fasciitus has returned, it hurts.
These boots would be help me on my feet at work all day and heal the heel!

I could do with a pair of these gorgeous boots as I spend all day on my feet running around and most of that is outside in all weathers. Would love to have warm dry feet this winter.

We are a fitflop household. I have various feet problems (bunions and neuromas), and fitflops are the only things I can wear without thinking about my feet. I walk miles and miles in them. DH has plantar fasciitis and they really help his feet too. I've currently got 4 pairs of slides (plus one elderly pair I use for gardening that are still going strong), 2 pairs of ankle boots from a previous season and am hankering after a pair of these:

ManicPixieDream · 08/09/2018 17:37

Massive fitflop fan. I wear my fitflops daily in the summer and round the house in the winter. I would like to try something more substantial to see me through the winter months for work. I walk to work and am on my feet throughout the day but I cannot afford these despite them being in the sale.

Bloatstoat · 08/09/2018 18:39

Why have I never come across these before?! I seem have spent years searching our shoes that are comfortable and good for my feet, as I'm on my feet for long shifts at work and am also pregnant with a preschooler to chase around. So many of the range looks fab, but these are my favourites - they look really comfy and I could wear them with lots of different outfits:

Love FitFlop. Comfortable, smart, practical and stylish. Comfortable enough to walk the kids to school in, smart enough to wear to work, practical enough to wear on the touchline, and stylish enough to wear to the pub! I have to wear so many "hats" over the course of the day, it's great not to need to change my shoes.

I particularly like these Olivia Faux Suede Booties in Berry www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/womens-new-arrivals-view-all-uk/olivia-faux-suede-booties-p-O21-621

ConkerTriumphant · 08/09/2018 21:28

I’ve never worn Fitflops and I looked at the website because of this thread. I had no idea they were this good! 😯 I thought they only did flip flops.

I am on my feet all day (in a school) and THESE look both comfortable AND stunning.

Spilledmycoffee · 08/09/2018 22:19

I'm always looking for something a bit different and eye catching but that can be comfortably worn all day.

These look just right for me!

Well I think these would look fabulous Smile Smart, on trend and with the promise of comfort and help with toning legs how could I say no Grin

Lonelynessie · 09/09/2018 00:19

I am in love with these: www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/womens-new-arrivals-view-all-uk/runway-luxe-over-the-knee-knit-boots-p-Q25-001

But on a more practical level: www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/womens-new-arrivals-view-all-uk/pia-leather-ankle-boots-p-O29-001 these look amazing and would be perfect for the school run or at work 🤞🏼

Mindgone · 09/09/2018 00:42

I think that these look comfy and sporty, and would be perfect for long distance travelling Smile

I love these. They look just like normal trainers but with the excellent fitflop technology, versatile all year round www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/womens-new-arrivals-view-all-uk/f-sporty-ii-metal-stud-leather-sneakers-p-Q03-194

I love these:
www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/womens-new-arrivals-view-all-uk/superbendy-patent-ballerinas-p-O56-001
They would be perfect for work, especially as I have to do a school run on the way and have a bit of walking to do.
I run as a hobby so when I'm not in trainers, practical footwear that is kind to my feet is really important. These look like they would be perfect.

lidoshuffle · 09/09/2018 07:00

I have a pair of Fitflop sandals but hadn't realised they did proper shoes. These would be fab for walking to and from work and smart enough to wear all day in the office:
www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/womens-new-arrivals-view-all-uk/pia-leather-ankle-boots-p-O29-001

I was torn between these and the fun pompom slippers!
