My Review 

Starting last summer, I began walking 20 minutes from the train station to my office instead of taking the subway. I was able to shave time from my gym workouts by getting in the additional 40 minutes of walking from the my daily commutes!

When I started the walking, I used to wear basic flip flops and then change into my heels when I get to the office but soon found that my arches really hurt. A friend recommended FitFlop brand sandals because they have a nice cushion that provides arch support. They come in so many cute colors and designs and are much more attractive than some of those other "walking sandals" out there. Ever since I bought them, walking is a breeze, and what's best they are cute enough to wear with summer outfits!

I even bought a pair for my mom!

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

Yes

Wendy Bumgardner, Walking Guide, says:

I'm not a fan of flip flops in general, because you can't roll through a step properly. But many people won't wear anything else, and at least this model provides more support. You can Compare Prices for FitFlops.
