Kitten Heel Flip Flop (Women)

I’m still debating about keeping these because they are beautiful and well constructed, but they’re extremely stiff and the thong hurts between my toes. I can’t tell yet if it will soften with wear. They’re exactly the style I’ve been searching for, TTS, with a walkable heel, so I’m torn. I haven’t found anything else that looks quite like this so I might just suffer through the discomfort and hope that once they’re broken in that they’re more comfortable. I’d love to know what others have found after wearing them in.

These are nice sandals, very sexy. The reason I returned them is twofold: 1) they came with a plain leather sole and one would really need to add a layer of rubber on the bottom by a good shoe repair place like Leather Spa (usually runs upward from $60 if you do it right) to make them safer and more comfortable to walk in. An oversight on the manufacturer's part? Sandals this flimsy need a rubber sole for gripping the floor or sidewalk and for padding and comfort to walk in. And 2) there is absolutely no support or padding on the inner sole. I just felt these were going to be uncomfortable to walk in for ANY amount of time, but could be great for a short time - say standing up for an hour at a cocktail party or something, or if you have a limo. Very beautiful shoe, just not useful for me.

I added a little Vaseline to the part that goes between the toes before wearing them for the first time and it really helps soften that area. The more I wear them, the more comfortable they get! I also think going TTS and not even a half size or a little bit big will go a long way. They need to be "snug" or "secure" on your foot which is hard when they’re more loose. So don’t try to size up if you’re between sizes, size down.
