text: This was the first pair of FitFlops I purchased on the recommendation of my chiropractor.  I have plantar fasciitis.  These shoes provide excellent support and are like walking on clouds, but they are also stylish and pretty.  I got them in gold which is very neutral and goes with EVERYTHING. I have had them now for 3 years and wear them all summer and more, so they are very durable.  I wear them on long walks with no problem and even some light hiking as the thick soles will handle rougher terrain.  In fact, this past summer (their 3rd year) I took them on a two week vacation to Europe.  I wore them everyday (the only shoes I needed) and walked 6-12 miles a day in them.  As I said, they went with every outfit, which was mainly dresses and skirts.  I also have Fitflops clogs and mary jane style shoes.  The shoes take longer to break in, but the clogs are just as comfortable as the thong style sandals.  I'm sorry FitFlops has discontinued this Fleur style.  It's my favorite.
