I'm another of those who can't cope with toe posts - a 15 minute walk to and from the supermarket in my silver Fitflops and the bit between big and next toe was literally bleeding!
Bought some special toepost 'protectors' from Boots but they didn't make the effect any less agonising, alas.
Last winter, got the 'Billow' version - like boots - and they were very comfortable. Not wanting to give up on summer versions, have just paid another £50 (!) to acquire some of the bronze 'no toe post ' style Fitflops from John Lewis. Let's hope they're fine. Am waiting for it to stop being so wet to try them out!

A word of warning ladies. I have worn in my fitflops (without toe posts) for a few weeks but tonight I had to walk over a slight slope with cobblestones in the rain and I slipped and fell my full length. Being a slightly 'mature' lady I was more concerned if anybody noticed than anything else (lol). It was like being on an ice rink. So be careful in the wet!

Hi ladies
Have finally given up trying to find the silver Electra ones and ordered a pair of them in black on line on Wednesday evening and they arrived Friday morning and they are soooooo comfy!!!!

Shellseeker, I initially had problems with the toepost fitflops (bronze too coincidentally) that I bought this summer. I put them on and thought they were really comfy and then made the mistake of wearing them out shopping. Between my toes was agony and I thought I'd paid out yet again for something that I couldn't wear, but after wearing them around the house for a while (with plasters on my toes) they softened and I can now wear them without any problem.
I appreciate the tip about not wearing them out in wet weather. Poor you, I hope your pride was the only thing hurt!
