I own 5 pairs of Fitflop sandals. then use it again for another 2 and half hours. They are a great investment! I really like the style of this walking shoe and I love the crossover stretch band instead of laces. I recommend them for the price Its really tight on the ears so hurts a little after a couple hours. I had a moment of despair when I saw all the pieces because I am not handy. Immer mal variieren. Maybe my hands are too weak to get it tight enough. And for potential/interested buyers, I purchased the shoe at a half-size larger than he normally wears, thinking I?d buy a shoe slightly larger, so that he could grow into it over the course of the long season, but it fit him perfect right off the bat.
