Product Description
An evolution of the original Walkstar, the Walkstar 3 features dynamic topstitching on a sporty, streamlined leather upper, a soft leather lining and a stitch and turned top line for maximum comfort across the instep. *NEW* - Microfibre lining and soft leather toe post for added comfort. Several leading studies have shown that wearing FitFlop actually extends the amount of time that your slow twitch muscles are engaged during each step by between 10-12%. So, just by wearing them, walking to work, working around the house or shopping and you\\'ll feel and see the benefits. FitFlop sandals have even been clinically proven to increase the amount of time that the glutes maximus muscle is activated during walking... meaning they work your bum muscles more. Cushioned Heel Area - absorbs 36% more shock than regular footwear. Micro-wobbleboard mid section slows eversion rate and requires up to 15% more energy to walk on. Firmer Toe Area - promotes faster toe push off to maintain speed of walking.

Not Your Average Shower Shoe!
By Wandrwoman
If you like the ease of rubber flip flops but are smart enough to realize that flip flops offer your feet absolutely no protection or support....then these are the rubber thongs for you!
Fit Flops exploded on the scene several years ago with a marketing campaign that promised an exercized leg and a fabulously improved derriere by merely wearing a pair! Yeah, right! LOL! Dream on, Missy!
Ok, now that's out of the way, lets give credit where credit is due by saying that these are extremely comfortable and supportive and not bad looking either.
There are multiple models of Fit Flops. The Walkstar 111 model, which is relatively recent, employs a single piece of well padded leather that extends from the thong between the toes, up over the top of the foot, and is attached to both sides of the footbed. The leather top is more "rigid" than the grosgrain fabric bands of earlier models and seems to provide more support by preventing the foot from slipping as much from side to side.
The circular Fit Flop logo remains at the top of the instep but as a decorative, non-structural element.
The Walkstar 111 comes in many color combinations. I own the black patent and am quite pleased with them.
The footbed is the same as earlier models. It is 1 1/2" high at the heel and is contoured to the shape of the foot. This contouring cradles the foot and provides excellent support....for a flip flop....these do not take the place of normal shoes. These are not for long hikes, spinning class, jogging, trekking, mambo lessons, etc.
In my experience, these are excellent very casual shoes to wear around, go to the beach with, change into at the end of the day. I find them supportive, comfortable and comforting to aching feet. I also own an earlier version, the Walkstar, in Bronze. I've worn them for over a year and they've held up very well. I've worn them in the rain and they are none the worse for wear.
One caveat. They come in whole sizes only. I usually wear a size 7 1/2 but I wear size 7 Fit Flops. Some people size up, some size down. Try before you buy!

Runs REAL Big
By Matilda
This is a very comfy flip-flop, and it doesn't flop as much as some other "flops" that I have had. It definitely runs large. I often wear a size 8, but there is at least one inch sole extending past the end of my toes in this size 8! The thong does tend to irritate the toes just a smidge. I question whether there will be any noticeable benefit in firming and toning the lower body from wearing this particular shoe; however, it is cute and has a nice cushioned sole. The picture shown for the oyster color leads one to believe that it is a light tan or beige. It is not. It is definitely "white."

Strength for my ankles
By Diana M. Kreider
I broke my ankle twice last year and part of my physical therapy was done on a wobble mat. The midsole on these shoes are a type of wobble mat that make your ankles work to keep your balance. I can really tell a difference between my weaker ankle that has been broken and my strong ankle. You do have to work up to wearing these for an extended amount of time as your legs will tire. I recommend them to anyone who wants to work on their legs while they go about their day.
