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 can't wear traditional toe-post sandals, but I adore Fitflop sneakers and slippers, as they are fun, versatile, and SO comfortable. I've been window-shopping a new pair for the autumn. The sensible choice would be the Laceless in black leather or the Derby in patent black, but what I really really would love are the Laceless in metallic blue. Life's too short for uncomfortable shoes, and life is definitely too short for just sensible black shoes.

These look awesome! I struggle to find comfortable shoes for walking, other than trainers, that both look and feel good.

These look nice as well as adding comfort for the shifts I do in clinic as a physiotherapist.

Fitflop are brilliant, I do a lot of standing, I swear by them.

I like knee high boots so my favourites are www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/womens-new-arrivals-view-all-uk/fifi-knee-high-boots-p-N53-001

Didiusfalco · 05/09/2018 10:35

I love these, they look comfy but have a bit of a sparkle too.

I love the Chrissie slippers, look so comfortable!

GatherlyGal · 05/09/2018 10:45

Lovely Laceless

I love fitflops! Before and after surgery on my foot they were my only reliably comfy shoes.

After a year with a bad foot wearing silver fitflop trainers with my work suits I have never really gone back to proper shoes! I watch people walking around in heels as I run about in my F-Sportys feeling very pleased with myself.

These laceless ones look like a good compromise but still comfy.

eightyeightmilesperhour · 05/09/2018 10:49

I'm a little bit in love with these beauties

I had no idea Fitflops did just a huge range of shoes - I'm pleasantly surprised!

Amber0685 · 05/09/2018 10:52

I didn't know they did boots, these look great for cooler weather.

I have broad feet, and really have a problem getting comfy shoes. The last time I looked at Fitflop, they didn't have anything that looked suitable (many years ago now).

I've just seen these when I searched "wide fit" and they look as if they'll be comfy with a bit of colour. The comfy bit's important, I've got to see the doc about some heel pain I've had for a couple of weeks.

I like these. I still have a bad back after a break a few months ago so always on the look out for something comfy but stylish. These fit the bill nicely :)

TheWizardofWas · 05/09/2018 14:14

I adore these

Lovely silvery sheen, but look dead comfortable. Never tried Fitflops, but am intrigued now.

I love these. In winter I like a black shoe with a black sole. I have back problems so can't do heels but I like to walk a lot but not look like I'm hiking! Leather is perfect for the wet English weather as well as breathable and comfortable.

FunkyHeroCat · 05/09/2018 17:55

I really like these because they look like they'd be really good to lounge in (in between vigorous walking of course!) www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/womens-new-arrivals-view-all-uk/uberknit-slip-on-knit-sneakers-p-L31-613

I love these for 4 reasons:

  1. smart enough for work but comfortable being on my feet, especially when it’s my turn in the outside area,
  2. sensible shoes that don’t make me look old before my time!
  3. my class would love them, they often comment on the shoes I wear,
  4. they are named after my granny who was also a teacher and a fab lady :)

Behold these beautiful creations. Watch how they magically hide my hideous bunions. Take pleasure in how they match my gorgeous leather handbag.
Be jealous as I look edgy and cool (instead of a stressed mum / new Teacher /hideous bunion sufferer and fitflop promoter

I'm also skint and my knee high fitflop have finally bitten the dust after six years.

storminabuttercup · 05/09/2018 20:39

I like these ones. They look super stylish and would go with loads of clothes. I have to go to a hot country for work soon and need some decent sandals, these would be perfect

I've got plantar fasciitis, and a dodgy 6 back, so I don't just love fitflop, I'm in love with them. I have my eye on these beautiful glam boots : www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/womens-new-arrivals-view-all-uk/fifi-knee-high-boots-p-N53-001

buckeejit · 05/09/2018 21:26

I love these. I like fitflops very much

I love these! On paper, suede fringe tasselled sneakers sounds like a mad concept, but I'm totally drawn to them and think they're fab!

These are beautiful. I cannot wear heels due to an ankle injury and these would be perfect for going out and feeling special

I love fitflops! Would love a pair of Gianna in black. Comfy and yet badass.

I would love to try these www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/womens-view-all-uk/skatebootie-leather-boots-p-K10-001

I have Joint Hypermobility Syndrome and struggle to find footwear that doesn't cause me pain... I live in my Fitflop toe-posts in summer but then usually have to resort to wearing trainers all winter. I'd love a pair of comfy boots to live in instead!
