Just bought a pair today and have walked over 2 miles in them, They are so comfy, love them. Am trying to lose some weight too so hopefully they will help tone up. Anybody else tried them?

I bought a pair and they arrived yesterday, unfortunately I find the toe post rubs on both my feet. They are the bronze ones. I wear all types of flip flops and have never, ever had this problem before, any suggestions anyone? Will the toe post soften over time?

Hi SL
Which Fit Flops do you have? Did you rub anything into the toe posts to soften them? Help! I just want to wear them, but don't want to have sore feet!
Thanks

Thanks SBQ
I will look out for these. I've worn flipflops for years and years and never had this problem before.

Hi Foxie
I bought a pair last year and wear them nearly all the time (in warm weather), the are so comfortable. But in the beginning I had a problem on one foot with the toe post, I used elizabeth arden 8 hr cream when I wore them and this sorted it out. You can also use vaseline, hope this works

I bought the gold ones recently and love them-will definitely order more. Have said before that I don't feel like I am getting toned legs or anything but they are so comfy I don't mind!!

5lb I managed to lose last week!

I have the same problem Foxie - I have the gold sequinned ones. I contacted the company and they just linked me to their FAQs which said it may be bacause my feet are too narrow so try going down a size. Definitely not my problem as my feet are wide.

Hi Biker_Babe and others, I have the bronze sequin ones and love them. Foxie, I wear toe posts all summer too, but these did cause a problem the first time I wore them, I went and gottoe sposts from boots, but just wore them no longer than two hours a day in the house for three/four days, and no porobs since, am going to get a pair of white ones for my hols as well. Biker_Babe, well done with the weight loss!

Another great fan of fitflops bought the green ones last year.They are so comfortable like walking on air,went shopping in Shrewsbury last week,normally my feet are killing me within the hr,walked around must have been 4 hrs,and still felt fresh.
Foxie have never had problems with the toe posts,smear of vaseline should do the trick...happy walking fitfloppers.....

I have the bronze fit flops too. I got them about three weeks ago. I have to say I too had the same problem with the toe post and really rubbed on my second toe so bad it wore away a bit of skin and it bled ! So nearly gave up but left wearing them for a week or so and now I seem to have 'broke them in' and are comfortable again ! But I was so disappointed in the beginning.....

I have the red ones for flopping about in and the silver sequinned ones for 'best'. Rubbed vaseline on the toeposts regulrly for awhile and didn't have a problem. Wore the silver ones every day on holiday last year. Great! Hope your feet recover and you get to like them. Mazl XX

Hi and a big thank you to you all for your advice. I am rubbing cream into the toe posts and also my feet. I will go to Boots tomorrow and have a look at the toe posts too.
Glits - I have emailed Fit Flops to see what they say to me. I pointed out that I downloaded the foot guide to check I was buying the right size before ordering. I definitely do not have narrow feet, so will let you know what reply I get.

I bought the bronze ones last year. I wear them all the time, very comfy but no sign of the toned legs!!
I wonder if its because I live in Birkenstocks or flip flops whenever I can and my legs are perhaps used to the certain way you need to walk.

I finally bought a silver pair a couple of weeks ago and had to buy a size bigger, as I have wide feet. They look a bit too long but I was determined to have a pair!
So far they have been really comfortable, forget I'm even wearing them. I did have problems witht the toe posts but bought some of the protectors (Tesco do them as well) and now fine.
Haven't noticed any difference in legs though!

In case anyone is interested in my Fitflops..........
I bought the toe posts from Boots and unfortunately they gave me a blister on the sole of my foot!
I haven't heard from Fitflops despite emailing them, so will email again
I am now wearing them around the house in the morning and the evening to try and break them in!

Hi Foxie, I bought another pair, the white leather ones, and they are fine at the toes but a bit tight across the top so also wearing round the house. Feel very decadent having spent £90 on two pairs of flipflops. Usually mine are £5 rom Asda or Tesco. I blame the forum.
