Hi hussy
I am wearing my Fitflops at the moment. I put them on first thing in the morning and run up and down the stairs several times. I am wriggling my toes to try to soften the toe posts too!

p.s Last session of my counselling course tomorrow. It has been really, really interesting and I have learnt quite a lot about myself - both good and not so good!

I bought some red ones last year and although they didn't rub anywhere wearing them made my back ache so I gave them to a friend.

Thats a shame, I thought they were supposed to cure bad backs but now you come to mention it I had a stiff back all last week just thought that it was because I wasnt sleeping properly.

I've still not heard from Fitflops re. my emails. I am wearing them around the house and I do think they are softening a bit.

I have never been able to wear sandals with toe posts as they always hurt. BUT have just seen that you can buy these FitFlops without toe posts. So might invest in a pair as you all seem to find them so comfortable.

Thank you.

Do they now make them without the bits between the toes - they kill me.

I can't wear sandals with the toe posts, just make me feel funny wearing them and never found a comfy pair. I usually get Fly Flot sandals which are so comfy for walking to work in and no sore feet. I did treat myself to a pair of Skecher white shoes and they felt very comfy but walking to work they rubbed on my heel, Im hoping they will wear in eventually.

Yes they do if you look at the fitflops website you will find them they have only been on sale a few weeks and they are slightly more expensive than the toepost ones.

Pinksweetpea,

you can get a sort of wax stick that you rub in shoes to stop them rubbing your feet and giving you blisters.

Carnation do one, and Boots do their own version. About £3.99. I always carry it in my handbag - even well worn-in shoes can rub in hot weather

A Fitflops update.......

I have followed the forum advice and have been wearing FFs around the house in morning and evening. They have definitely softened up and the strap across the foot has given a little. The toe posts still rub a little, but not so much. I am gradually wearing FFs for longer and longer time. But, I still have not heard anything from my email.

I bought a pair of silver ones size 6 (not the glitter ones) on line from Running Bare. I ordered them this week on Tuesday afternoon and they arrived on Thursday morning. They were £45 and post free. I don't know if they are silver Electra, but if you look on the site you will know.

Good luck

Try Victoria Health, I got my siver sequinned ones from there last year. Have you tried John Lewis? Mine saw me through my holday last year and are still fine. Great with jeans & a white T shirt.
