FitFlop Fisherman sandals - with out without flatform?

6 replies

I can treat myself to one new pair of summer shoes, and I'm torn between the standard height fisherman sandals and the flatform ones...

I'm 5ft 6 and well-built, and also the wrong side of 50, so I'm wondering if I might look a bit tryhard in flatforms...they do look lovely, especially with the little gold studs...but it looks like the standard ones also have a bit of a platform?

Thoughts? TIA.

Absolutely WITH the flatform!
I love a little height boost and always go for a platform/flatform (and I'm 53!)

Im 64 and Id go for the platform.

I’d go for the Gracie ones personally which are completely flat. 5’6 is a good height already.

With Fitflop I’d avoid the flatform. Normally I like a bit of height but I find the fitflop platform has a slightly orthopaedic look about it.

Agree with this. That’s why I like the completely flat one, doesn’t look at all orthopaedic.
