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 love fitflops! So comfortable. Since it’s winter, I need something for traipsing through wet grass on various school runs and these look perfect.

These are my favourites;

They look both comfortable and stylish. I like footwear with laces so I can get a better fit.

nhssecretary · 03/09/2018 15:05

I love these

www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/womens-view-all-uk/house-shearling-slippers-p-694-052

I have really bad back problems and spend so much time on my feet in the house I'm sure these would be great

expectingnumber3 · 03/09/2018 15:19

I love these! I spend all my time standing by muddy football and rugby pitches, at riding stables or chasing my toddler around the garden so always need warm, comfy boots. Stylish ones are the holy grail, and these are fab! They start at a 3 too, which is great as so many brands seem to have done away with smaller sizes and I don't always want childrens shoes.

Love these ones - I have plantar facsiitas so these would be perfect for me

I love the look of these ones, in purple. Look smart but sporty and so comfortable! If I don’t win I may have to invest in some, I live in open toe ones but need something more weather proof for my heavy pregnancy feet this winter!

I have plantar fasciitis.
I can walk for ages in these flip flops.
I can live in them round the house
I can drive and get bout in them.

When I don't have them my feet are incredibly painful and tender and it feels like the soles have been beaten. Just a pair of flips flops changes all that.

UnicornMadeOfPinkGlitter · 03/09/2018 15:36

I’m on my feet all day at work and don’t have fitflops for work. Have never considered them for work shoes before, but browsing that link, I love these and think they’d be perfect for my long days.

I am a teacher, and would love a pair of these Mary Janes for my new school shoes. They look v professional and I love the comfort of fitflops!

www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/womens-new-arrivals-view-all-uk/ellie-mary-jane-pearl-stud-ellie-mary-janes-p-M63-001

I'm on my feet all day so I need decent quality smart looking. shoes.

Been wearing my fitflop sandals all summer, my feet are dreading having to wear proper shoes again!

madamy · 03/09/2018 15:39

Paige patent loafers
I like these - they look super comfy for work and might also cross over for casual. I've just spent far too long looking at their non-sandal shoes and boots - a nicer selection that I would have thought!

LadySybilPussPolham · 03/09/2018 15:44

These are a bit fab. Perfect smart-casual for work and walking commute. Would look great with skinnies/chinos. Yes please! Smile

www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/womens-view-all-uk/f-sporty-ii-leather-lace-up-sneakers-p-L82-194 These. Every time these ones.

I have last year's (slightly different) model and they have carried me comfortably (literally) through two summers. They go with everything and even though white shoes are supposed to make your feet look big, these make my size 7 trotters look tiny.

I wear them with dresses, shorts, trousers, jeans. I wear them in the town, on the beach and on long walks. I absolutely love them and will get a different colour (even though the white ones are still going strong) for next summer.

Love these! Ideal autumn shoe,would go with most of my clothes. I live in my fitflop sandals all summer, and have fitflop boots for winter. These would be great in between

Cismyfatarse1 · 03/09/2018 15:51

But, if it is the new ones, then these look great for winter

www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/womens-new-arrivals-view-all-uk/paige-patent-loafers-p-O27-620

I like the shiny patent colour and know that they will go with dresses and trousers for work but allow me to walk comfortably round my classroom. Love FitFlops.

CoffeeWithMyOxygen · 03/09/2018 15:53

A pair of these would be amazing; www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/womens-new-arrivals-view-all-uk/ellie-mary-jane-pearl-stud-ellie-mary-janes-p-M63-001

For me it’s the fact that they look like ‘normal’ shoes but won’t cause me such debilitating pain. They’re a godsend for those of us with disabilities who just want something pretty sometimes!

BellaVida · 03/09/2018 15:55

I chose the Superbendy Ballerinas, for a few reasons.

  • Given a choice I would be barefoot and these look as close as I can get in a closed toe shoe, especial with the Supercomff technology.
  • I could wear them all year round with trousers, skirts or dresses.
  • I don't own any ballerina style shoes. I had one pair which gave me heel blisters every time I wore them, so I've just sent them to be recycled!

SherbetSorbet · 03/09/2018 16:06

I've never tried them, they look great though.

Tanaqui · 03/09/2018 16:13

I do rather like those over the knee boots, but suspect I might not dare wear them out of the house!

I had a pair of fitflop sneakers in a pewter colour, wore them to death as they went with so many other colours! These www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/womens-new-arrivals-view-all-uk/f-sporty-ii-metallic-athleisure-sneakers-p-Q08-654 look like a good replacement, if rather shinier! However, oddly they do look narrower than my lovely previous ones- I hope that’s just the styling/photo, as I have wide fit and I love that my fit flops are wide enough (unlike converse!!).

GobKnobbler · 03/09/2018 16:17

I have to wear fit flops quite a lot to look after my Achilles' tendon. As recommended by my specialist on Harley St.

I've been wanting a silver pair for ages, and these are fab. You'd never guess they were good for me!

These are lovely to look at and would be perfect for walking to work in and be smart enough to wear in the office. I suffer badly with arthritis and find fitflops really help with my posture and feet pain. I love these!

Pinkkahori · 03/09/2018 16:21

I love these - they look like they would be comfortable on my wide feet and look great with my wardrobe staple of leggings and tunic.

franklymydearidontgivea · 03/09/2018 16:22

I love in my superskates in summer and mukluks in winter, but if I had to choose something else would probably be these

www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/womens-new-arrivals-view-all-uk/chai-classic-chelsea-boots-p-N15-557

I had awful problems with a pair of toes post sandals last year, ripped my feet to pieces so now only but boots and sneakers ☺️

chalkyc2 · 03/09/2018 16:26

I just bagged a pair of these in the sale - so happy with them - out flat hurty converse, in sparkly comfy fit flops!!
