FitFlop Women's Barrio Flip Flop

I love Fitflops. They are the only sandals I wear. I think these are super cute but the thong hurts and I've never had this issue before. I'm hoping as I wear them more they will stop hurting. I have often walked in Fitflops for hours. I can't do that with these. I'm using Body Glide between my toes to stop the rubbing and hope that as I wear them they soften up. I will wear these only for short periods of time.

These are my 4th pair of fitflops.I usually wear 9.5 for regular shoes, but fitflops are always on the larger side, so I got 9, and the sole length is perfect as usual.Then why it’s not 5 stars? Because the sole feels stiff compared to my other fitflops. And also the strap part is very loose, and don’t hug my foot like other fitflops do.I always wear my fitflops whenever I travel, and I can run wearing them, but I would not do that in these fancy fitflops. Maybe I would wear these for a casual night out. They look gorgeous and high end. Looks wise, they get 5 stars.The fit is not perfect, but for me, they are comfy enough, and I love the look, so I’ll keep them.But if you look for the perfect fit and comfort, I would recommend you to get other kinds of fitflops.
