FitFlop Men's Xosa in Leather Slide Sandal

Once upon a time FitFlop made the perfect sandal, the Gogh Slide Sport. I bought two pair in 2012, and wore them out. When I went to reorder, I was supremely disappointed to see that some genius at the FitFlop company decided that it was not enough to make the perfect sandal, but that it was necessary to make many different designs -- every design seemingly except for the Slide Sport, which is now discontinued.Ok, I resigned myself to this fact. Change is inevitable, but having made the perfect sandal, the people at FitFlop clearly know what they are doing, and I assured myself that the new designs would be as comfortable and useful as the Gogh Slide Sport. I didn't really like the new designs so much. They still made a Gogh, but with adjustable straps. Not only was in ugly in my eyes, but they didn't carry it in the tan color that I had become so fond of.Then I saw the Xosa, and it was the closest thing to the old Gogh Slide Sport, and available in tan. I ordered (size 11, I usually wear a 10, but FitFlops are notoriously undersized). When the sandals arrived, they were not tan but medium brown. Cripes, they sent me the wrong color and I'll have to send them back. But then I looked at the box, and it was labeled tan, and I looked at the other available colors, and these clearly were not black or chocolate. Strike one.I have an open mind. I put them on. Not comfortable. The straps are constructed in such a way that there is a ridge at the edge of each side of each strap, and this ridge is prominent enough to be felt. Well, they're new, so give them time to break in. They're FitFlops and those people know what they're doing.Three months later and no improvement. I can wear them with socks, or around the house, but if I walk even as little as a city block without socks, the ridge digs into the top of my feet, causing pain.Bottom line: these things are useless. I doubt I will buy from FitFlop again.

I bought these for myself as a woman with a wide foot size and need of good arch support. They make my wide foot appear more feminine in the Men's larger frame and the extra squishy support of the Fitflop sole allows me to walk all day in them!

I bought these for my husband as a 2nd pair of Fit Flops. He loves his first pair which are like fisherman's sandals. I also have 3 pair. These did not fit well and his heel kept falling off the back. When I sent them back the seller, Sole Provisions charged me $17.99 for a restocking fee. I will be sure to never order from them again.

I ordered the same sandals for my husband two years ago and am disappointed on how much smaller the new ones are! There is at least half an inch to an inch difference in length and width. I had them delivered to my florida house a month ago and we just arrived.....unfortunately I can't return since there is a one month return policy!!! He wore them the other day and got 2 large cuts on each foot because of the size discrepancy. I'm actually surprised because the last few pairs I ordered for myself were so wide! Needless to say we will have to give a brand new pair away!

I ordered a FitFlop sandal and I received a cheap, completely different unknown brand sandals instead !!!

Thanks

not made well and definitely not the same material as the other fit flops I have ordered for myself. These shoes were hard and the stapes look like were defected . No happy

I could say they are nice but not something waw. The leather is average, but they feel comfortable

even though i bought my shoes size and expect new footwear to "wear in".....these took "wearing in" to the next level and completely took the skin off the top of my foot to the point i had to walk barefoot and not use them for the rest of my holiday.....tried wearing them round the house with socks on to loosen them but on the next hol when not in socks had the same problem....either buy a size or 2 higher or dont bother and buy some other brand which i have done and do not regret

I normally don't spend more than say £10 for sandals that I use around the house. This time my partner persuaded me to buy this make because she has a couple of pairs and has always said they are very comfortable. I can only agree. Had them now for a couple of months and think they are great and well worth the momey

difficult to keep on

I have 4 pairs now love these sandals

Je l'ai porté 20 jours et elle m'a fait tres male aux piets en plus elle est tres dure a porter
