text: I am a huge Fitflop fan. I have about 4 pairs of in the flip flop style and they fit me well. However with this slide style, the upper band is wider and loose and makes the footwear look large and clunky. I really, really hope Fitflop can consider coming up with options in this style for those whose front part of the foot, below the toes is not as high and wide. I know I would buy more sandals of this style if the upper band was more fitting than loose. Also the decorative studs on the sandal started falling off after just a few days of daily use. This does not affect the comfort factor in any way though. They are super comfortable on my feet.
