Whimsy finds brokeback garden unforeseen relief.
I have had many, many surgeries in attempts to improve my previously broken spine.Pain is 24/7 and dictates to most areas of my life; what I eat, where I sit or lie down, what I wear,....Shoes are a real problem. First they must be easy on and easy off. After that decision it becomes a even more complicated issue. My husband and doctors constantly hammer away at me to buy and wear more practical shoes rather than the "cute" ones I currently wear. My argument is that no shoe really feels ok so I might as well get cute and kick them off as soon as is possible. In addition to a nasty spine I recently was diagnosed w/diabetesII which has increased the clamour from dear husband and sweet doctors. But I am stubborn.And I fall down a lot w/nasty results. While I know my back and the neuropathy in my feet and legs are major contributors to this problem, I blame a lot on the shoes that are currently available. More often than not I go barefoot driving all who care for me crazy.
Every summer I buy several pairs of cute and inexpensive sandals. The heat, humidity and frequent rains, not to mention the nasty sticky debris dropped on the streets of New Orleans are all miserably hard on shoes. Especially sandals. I am also a garden, frequently watering my gardens, traipsing through the wet grass. As you can imagine these conditions are murderous on shoes. After losing a beloved pair of tragically expensive but "to die for" beautiful shoes I now only wear inexpensive sandals in the summer that I have no remorse for when I ditch them in the winter.
When I saw these shoes I was surprised to find myself even looking at them. They are neither cute or inexpensive (for flip flops). Pure whimsy led me to buying a black pair. In the back of my mind I thought they just might "go" w/the amazing giraffe print leather tote (too,too expensive)I had recently bought.
I was very disappointed when I opened the box w/my fitflops. They were uglier than on the web site. I decided then they could be my garden, dog walking, all purpose walking in the rain shoes. The first big day of gardening, as I instructed grandsons where to dig, what to pull and how to plant, I was very aware of the work out the calves, buttocks and feet were getting. In my condition I was left really hurting. But I had not fallen down once and I had felt confident walking around the gardens. Now 4 weeks later I think these are the best shoes ever. They are constructed to encourage proper stance; shoulders over hips, hips over knees, knees over ankles.... The straps do fit snugly to your foot and once "broken in" they are like a pair of fine gloves sort of in the way they hold foot to shoe. I love these shoes. fit really well for flip flops. You feel secure wearing them. They alleviate much stress and pressure to your feet in the right areas. They aren't cute but they do "go" w/many summer styles. I wear them in the mud, in the house, the stores, church...everywhere. I hose them off and they are ready to go. This is hard on them though, hence buying more pairs.
At first I was concerned at the thought of wearing them in the winter, but our winters are usually mild and I can buy a larger pair to wear w/socks. This look may not "go" w/winter woolens, dramatic scarves and furry coats but the more I thought about it I realized that true Southerners enjoy the caprice of those who go their own way and are there for slow to criticize fashions of others. Plus I imagine when they hear how fine these shoes feel they too will be trying to buy their own. They are the best shoes for such horribly messed up spines as mine. If you do buy a pair though and really do not like them, if they are a size 9 or 10 I will trade you for a pair of cute sandals bought but unworn this summer. I think you will grow to love them too though.

the tennis shoe sandal
I consider myself a flip flop master. Having lived in Arizona for 7 years I wore them year round. I have had all different kinds, many uncomfortable and/or easily broken. I have had these shoes for two years now and they are still going strong. In deciding to make my purchase of these I had read great reviews but was cheap enought to not want to spend $50 of a pair of shoes unless I knew they were really good. I told my mother in law about them because she is spendier than I and more willing to give things like this a try because of her health -she has back and legs problems among other things. She got them and reported that she loved them too, even being able to stand for periods of time on her hard kitchen floor to cook, when wearing them. So I too got them. I am unable to notice that they have made me more fit, but I run and workout regularly. The concensus with other reviews has been that if you are already fit you will likely not notice these making a difference. People who did not work out reported soreness and change in their butt and legs. One time I wore these hiking- I really should have worn my running shoes like I normally do but I was told that the trail would be super easy and not require much actual hiking. Well we ended up doing a fairly hardcore hike and blazing our own trail at a point when we had gone the wrong way. I did get really dirty feet and wished for close toed shoes, still these things were amazing. Any other flip flop would certainly have broken given the circumstances. When we came to a stream/river we had to cross I was able to step right in and help carry our children across, then continue hiking without the bother of wet shoes and socks. The hike gave the shoes a workout, they were already a little big on me and now they are more stretched out and its annoyingn that they don't fit as snug my feet king of swim in them now. So I think the most important thing to know is to get the right size. I am came on here rightn wanting to get a smaller pair to replace mine. I wear a 7 or 7 1/2 and if the shoes are really running small an 8. So for these I decided to go up rather then down and got an 8. I wish I had gotten a 7, they would fit much better. These are super comfortable and durable I highly recommend them.

Commuter Flop
I have no idea whether the FitFlops are toning any of my body but I do know they are comfortable and easy to walk in. I commute to Manhattan everyday and do a lot of walking between client meetings. Unlike conventional flip-flops, the Fitflops are thick enough to keep my feet away from the pavement and out of dirty rainwater. They also stay on for those quick dashes thru traffic.
