Fitflop Sling in Leather

It was love at first sight when I saw this Fitflop Sling (Tumbled Leather) in Grass Green for the first time at the Fitflop kiosk at Robinson's Manila.  First, it came in green, which is my favorite color.  Second, it is a Fitflop, and judging from my past experience with my old Fitflop, each step has always been comfortable for my feet.

At Php 4,990.00 (approx. US$ 119.00),  it certainly ain't cheap for a pair of sandals.  But in my mind,  I was thinking that it should be worth it.  So after a few days of mulling over it, I decided to buy it.

I tried it out at home and it fit perfectly.  I was looking forward to walking it out over the weekend as I was scheduled for an out-of-town overnight trip with my cousins.

My verdict:  Everything was fine and comfy as I imagined it to be except for the part near the big toe that was covered by the leather part.  Perhaps it was the leather lining that was rubbing constantly on the skin that, eventually, part of the skin was peeled off.  I couldn't walk properly on my second day of wearing it that I wanted to throw away the sandals!  But I had to remind myself of the price that I paid for the sandals.  So my only solution is to cover the area with band-aid every time I am to wear these sandals.  

Aesthetics:  100%                          Comfort:   80% (because of the peeling of the skin)

As far as Fitflop thongs are concerned, they are the best when it comes to comfort.  But as for their other designs like the Sling, I would suggest for you to think twice before buying them as they may not be as comfortable.
