Iqushion Ergonomic Flip-Flop

Women's

I live in Hawaii where I usually buy $3 Locals’ or splurge for $20 Havaianas’ flip flops (or “slippahs” as we say here). But as I get older my feet just generally need better cushioning - even with casual beach flip flops. I was curious to try “Fit Flops” since so many people I know swear by them. I ordered one pair of the thick-cushioned original style and one pair of these Iqushions - and these are the BEST fitting slippahs I’ve ever worn in my life! (I really did not like the feel of the big original Fit Flop style.) Bought size 11 green Iqushions and have worn them daily for several months. They are, as some reviewers have said, a little loose at the toe / thong area, but for me they do not slip around as the sole is nicely molded to my feet. Without intending to, I have comfortably & without injury run 10 city blocks in these and hiked Honolulu’s Diamond Head crater trail - (ha, ha, long story). Anywhose, I love these and will be buying a couple other colors. Pricey but worth it - and I’m a cheap gal!

If I'm not mistaken, I previously submitted a review regarding this shoe (Gold patterned Iqushion Fit Flop) immediately after my purchase. This review is simply an update. I recently noticed after lightly wearing the shoe (I only wear them in the house as slippers) for a couple of weeks that the printed design/all of the coloring is rubbing off. I called customer service today to see if this is a known issue and how I should proceed, was advised by rep. (Melissa Z.) that she is unaware of any issue with this shoe. The convo was quite anti-climatic and she let me know that the color is sold out/I can return the item. Although I love the comfort of fitflops®, I will not likely purchase another printed shoe from their brand.

Fit Flops have a great footbed, but the uppers just aren't made for my feet. I'm keeping them but really wish I could find a flip flop that would fit snugly AND have a supportive sole. The good: they're cute, light as air, and even though the footbed seems oddly shaped initially, it's actually super comfy the longer you wear them. They got more comfortable as my foot swelled in the heat, so they'll be serviceable as pool and beach shoes (which is what I bought them for) though not for running around. The not-so-good: less arch support than the standard fit flops. Toe post is too close to the end of the shoe, making them a bad fit for people with longer toes. The uppers are too loose for my low-volume bony feet so I have to sort of struggle to keep them on while walking.

My foot doctor recommended I buy the Fitflop brand to help with plantar fasciitis and arch discomfort. I was concerned they would be too tight because of my wide foot. To my surprise they fit perfectly and are so comfortable. There is no discomfort and the best part is, I don’t have to wear my orthotics! Love them so much, I purchased 3 other Fitflop styles!
