Has anyone tried F-MODE FitFlop Women's Sandals? Were you able to walk miles in them over cobblestones, stairs etc

I haven’t worn that model sandal so can’t answer your question about F-MODE FitFlops. I wear discontinued FitFlop sandals similar to Neo-D-Hyker sandals but with thinner soles and have good arch support. I can easily walk 5 to 6 miles in them. My feet and toes like the break from Ryka and Keen walking shoes. I have worn the sandals in Italy, France, Germany and Austria, over cobblestones and up/down stairs. At 74, my feet aren’t in great shape and are very picky about comfort.

I haven't worn the F-MODE sandal, but I absolutely LOVE the LULU Adjustable Leather sandal! I wear them all the time, and they are fantastic on cobblestones, etc. I wore them for 3 weeks in Spain last summer and they did great. Plus they weigh almost nothing, which makes them a great packing choice! The light tan color pairs well with pants and dresses. I usually start the day with the buckles all the way, then loosen as needed (as my feet swell, etc). The arch support on these sandals is amazing!

Another great packing choice is the Keen Elle Backstrap sandal. They also weigh next to nothing and the brindle/birch color works great with shorts, pants, and dresses. I was skeptical of these at first because they are not adjustable and I have a wider toebox and need arch support. No worries on both accounts. I've worn these to Eastern Europe, Italy, and Spain and they've done very well. I throw them in the wash at home and air dry, and they are still almost good as new. I'm taking these, with two pairs of On Cloud sneakers, to Scandinavia later this summer. It's a very versatile sandal!

I used to take only two pairs of shoes when traveling, but recently decided I need an additional pair to keep my feet happy. The three brands mentioned here have arch support, fit my wider toebox, and are super lightweight-all great for packing.
