text: I LOVE these shoes! This is my 2nd pair of Fit Flops and I wish I could have 10 pair.  I wear them almost every day.  They are the only thing that helped me when I was having a flare up with my plantar fasciitis.  I bought my first pair, black ones, from a local shoe store.  I have practically worn them out after wearing almost every day for 8 months.  Even though the sole has compressed some, they still provide great support and look wonderful.  My new ones, the silver, fit as expected and provide the support that I need.
