fit flops!

I am sole provisionser too. They had the best cash back action.

Kim

Ok, y'all talked me into them. I have really wide feet so I always have a problem finding shoes. I will walk around the house with them for a few days before I remove the tags to make sure they really fit. I did purchase them from Sole Provisioner too! I liked their return policy since I "never" buy shoes without trying them on first. I thought about finding them locally, but the gas would kill me and with free shipping I have nothing to lose if they don't fit right. Now if they would just get here soon.

You talked me into it too. Of course.....we're talking shoes here...so it wasn't hard. :angel:

I normally take a 5.5 but I have a low instep so I ordered a 5 in red. I've never been able to wear flip flops because of the between the toe thing. We'll see how these work.

You walk on water too??????? Can I put in special requests with you? :angel::angel:

I just saw the Oprah segment on these. They spotlighted the white ones with the silver on the top during the Heidi Klum fashion part of the show. You can't even get into the official site anymore (probably because of the traffic spike).

I wish I could get the actual Oprah video, but the Fit Flop video that we have in our videoblog is actually a lot more information about them than what she gave anyway.

I ordered the bronze this morning. Sole Provisions was actually having a few tracking issues that they have since fixed. But we made sure that if any of our members shopped while they were having problems that we will be able to get the credits next week. They seem like a kind of small operation and were REALLY responsive to our needs.

:(I missed the segment on Oprah...was picking DD up at the busstop. What did she say about them???

Not really too much. A woman was wearing them with a bright jellow jogging suit. Oprah said she liked the sandals. Heidi said that you get a little workout while wearing them. Then they showed a bigger collection of different colors of them and Oprah told the audience that they were getting them.

What else was on her show?

You all talked me into it too. I ordered the bronze one from Sole Provisions. I can't wait to try them.

I ordered from Sole. Free shipping and more cash back than the other places.

For those who were questioning size earlier -- I went to an actual store today and tried them on. They are mostly true to size -- maybe a tad bit bigger. I normally wear a six and it was only a smidge larger than I would like. The 5 however was a smidge too small. HTH anyone with a size dilema.

Great information......that should work for me. I take a 5.5 so a 5 should be perfect. Thanks!!!

If any of you ordered from Sole Provisions and did NOT get your credit yet, go ahead and file a TT. They had an error in their shopping cart that kept some of the early orders from crediting like they should have. But we'll get the credits from them ASAP. I just posted all of them that came in. I think anyone who purchased before about noon on Friday was affected. Anything after that should be fine.

And to answer someone's question, you CAN buy from them multiple times and get the $2 back on each purchase. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of mine!!

hehehe... I'll put in a good word for you, I promise!!!!

A question for those of you who purchased last week and have to wait until, say, May 30th for shipping. Did you receive a confirmation from Sole Provisions that they received your order and/or see the charge on your account?

I just poured through all the stuff from Friday and I actually don't see a confirmation order from Sole so that I can file a TT as Tricia's instructed. I'm not overly concerned except that I don't want to order another pair if one will actually show up without hearing from them, KWIM?

Wishing everyone a great day.

Thanks for the heads up Tricia. I am one of those who ordered early Fri morning. I am not able to access my personal email from work, but will enter a TT when I get home tonight.

Great customer service -- we didn't even have to wait the standard 7 days to see if there was a credit issue. :sunshine:

I tried to submit a TT but it says I have to wait 7 days. Should I change a date to force it through?

You could probably do it as an account inquiry one. I have to do a trouble ticket as well. I think all of us Thursdayers are there.

That is a good idea. I got impatient and just change dth date and then wrote in the notes area that I actually bought them Thursday. :)

I am amxious to get the shoes! Canot wait to see how they fit and if they work.

My trouble ticket was closed on this was anyone elses? I hope this means they found me, but nothing is pending.

Kim

I would love to know if they really are comfortable. Does anyone own a pair that they have worn more then a week?

I am hoping my pair come in the mail today.........I know that they are in transit, so today may be my lucky day!

I have to wait until the end of the month for them to ship them. I wonder if I will wait until then as well for credit?

I wonder how many they sold after the show? Would be interesting to know how much her endorsement helps businesses.

I show your ticket under SR review. I moved it over because we are waiting on the rest before we submit them for credit!

I am working on all of the Sole Provision tickets. Cindy has been in contact with the merchant and has requested that we get all of the missing credit details. If you have not received credit for your fit flops ordered before noon on Friday 5/16, please get a ticket open. Be sure to include your confirmation email. We will need full detail on each of these. I'm certain we are getting credit, we'll just need to do it the hard way! LOL!

Sole Provisions is actually taking good care of us. We're sorry for the minor bump in the road! If you haven't ordered yours yet, don't hesitate. You'll love the shoes and the credits!! :cooldance:

Whoa...that's amazing.

Got my credit! Thank you all for working on that for us!

Received an email tonight that mine have shipped by FedEx. I checked the tracking and they actually shipped yesterday and are due to arrive tomorrow.
I ordered on Friday. Pretty good turnaround.

I received credit today. :cooldance:

Mine weren't supposed to ship out until June 1st & I just got an email saying they went out FedEx today! Woo hoo!

Is everyone ordering your regular size or sizing down 1/2 size? I would like to try these but I'm concerned with that piece that goes between the toes, these seem to bother me alot and I'm not sure I will be able to get used to this....waiting for reviews! :)

rec'd my pair yesterday and wore them to my dd8's school (I had to read to the class). I normally take a 7.5, but ordered a 7 and they seem fine. These shoes just fit snug (I assume that is to help you use certain muscles). I even noticed, while I was as dd8 dance class, that one of the moms had on a pair. She has had them for a bit and likes them, but hasn't been 'religious' about wearing them so she hasn't really paid attention to if they have made any changes in her legs. She wanted to get them for the summer to see what happens.

I did open a trouble ticket, but can't seem to find it....not even moved to closed. Did it not go thru? I am going to wait a few and then if by the beginning of next week I still don't see credit I will open another one.

Here's to Great summer legs!!

You say these shoes fit snug...I have a wide foot, in your opinion would you think these would not work for me, I'm thinking they probably would not? :(

I have a wide foot as well. I checked in the FAQ portion of Sole Provisioners and they said they fit wide feet as well. My plan is to wear them around the house with the tags on for a bit to make sure they fit ok. I figured with free shipping, I had nothing to lose if I have to return them and as long as the tags are on and they are still in new condition they will take them as a return. I will let you know once I receive mine.

I just talked to the gentleman at Sole Provisions (one of the nicest guys I have talked to in a while) and he was very helpful. I was asking him about the wide foot issue and he thinks they will be fine, he did say if I were to wear them around the house, make sure to wear a sock (or clean the shoe) because he has received some back with dead skin and dirty foot prints on the bottom. In order to get your money back he has to be able to re-sale them. Just thought I would share. I can't wait to get mine, they should be here on 5/28, they ship from New Jersey!

Pam,
My feet are average...leaning towards the narrow side. The top of the flop is kind of tight across my foot...which suprised me.

Yay! Received my credit today -- Thanks MissAngie for the quick work. :sunshine: My fit flops should arrive on Friday. I can't wait to try them out this weekend.

I received mine today.

I also have a wide foot and I think it depends on where your foot is wide.

My foot is widest right under my toes and they don't seem to be too tight. If you foot is wide at the instep, I think they will be tight.

It seems to me that they need to be a little snug in order for them to 'work'?

I am going to wear them around the house tomorrow and I'll report back.

That's the widest part of my foot too, thanks.

My Fit Flops arrived today. I am normally a 9.5 but they were out of those and I was impatient so I ordered the 10. LOL! I got the bronze and they fit fine. I'm not noticing a big difference in how they feel, but I haven't worn them around more than about 2 minutes. They are cute enough to wear with capris or even a jean skirt. I'll have to try them a couple of weeks to see how I feel about them as far as actually working any muscles.
