Frequently Asked Questions from the FIT FLOPS WEBSITE
I am a half size should I go up or down in my FitFlops?
Because FitFlops hold your foot more securely across the instep, we recommend that you select the size higher than your half size if you are between sizes. Whole sizes should fit quite true to size. FitFlops are designed to be snug around the top of your foot and a comfortable fit between your toes, but as with every shoe, there will be some variance in fit from wearer to wearer. You can always exchange your FitFlops (unworn) for a different size, but be sure to read each website's terms and conditions before buying if you're especially concerned about them fitting your feet.
I normally wear orthotics. Can I wear the FitFlop?
The FitFlop has been designed with a regularly shaped footbed, however, the multi-density midsole creates a micro-wobbleboard action that challenges the muscles of the foot and arch, and therefore might not be suitable for everyone who needs orthotics. We recommend that you err on the side of caution and consult your podiatrist prior to wearing FitFlops if you currently rely on orthotic support.
Can I wear FitFlops if I am pregnant?
Again, we'd recommend that pregnant women check with their obstetrician or GP first, before engaging in a fitness routine based around, or a lot of walking in the FitFlop. Because a pregnant woman's tendons can be more susceptible to stretching, minor variances in gait and foot flexion caused by use of the FitFlop might lead to muscle soreness or hyperextension. Note: Walking in FitFlops is an excellent way to get back in shape post-partum.
Are they suitable for a wide fit?
Yes, FitFlops are suitable for a wide foot. Because the FitFlop's footbed is slightly wider than average, they fit pretty much every foot in width. If you have an extremely high instep, you may have to go up a size initially, or spend a few days wearing in the midsole, which custom moulds and compresses to fit your instep height after a couple of days of intensive use.
Are they made by the MBT company?
Not at all. FitFlops are manufactured in China at one of the world's leading specialist sports shoe organisations. FitFlops have nothing to do with MBTs, nor do they share the same midsole technology as MBTs. The unique technology in the midsole of the Fit Flop was developed by Dr David Cook and Darren James at the Centre for Human Performance at London's South Bank University.
I have bunions will they be aggravated?
No. In fact, if you suffer from bunions, we'd suggest ordering a few pairs of FitFlops for yourself, as we're going to guess that you may never want to put normal shoes (that rub on your bunions) on your feet again.
Are they as suitable for hill walking as velcro trekking sandals?
No. FitFlops are not suitable for hill walking or mountain hiking. They are designed for everyday use and everyday walking, to be worn by time-short individuals who may not be able to get to the gym, but want to make sure they get a 'workout while they walk'.
These FIT FLOPS are in high demand and I HIGHLY recommend pre-ordering a pair!! (I have!) to make sure you get one. It's a limited supply item. So order NOW!! It's an easy way to walk yourself to great looking legs!
