I paid about 75 dollars for mine on Ebay, which is 30 dollars more than they sell for in the stores here--if you can find them in stock. They are attractive, but painful. The strap across the front is so tight that I can barely get my foot in the shoe, and I bought a 1/2 size larger than I normally wear! I'm glad I didn't go a half size smaller like the fitflop website advises. I've been walking in pain now for days, still trying to give them a chance. The website also states that American's have lower arches, and should have no problem with these shoes. I must be the exception to the rule. I read one woman's blog stating that she got them wet and now ...  Read the complete review

Ahead of my trip to Florida in the summer, I did a bit of browsing online to see what items I wanted to buy in the US, and where I should get them. I wanted to make the most of the cheap exchange rate at the time so did lots of 'window shopping' in advance online. Following this, top of my 'must buy' list were a pair of Fit Flop shoes, which I had researched before I left. As soon as I hit the Florida Mall, I headed straight to the footwear section in Macy's to bag myself a pair! Fit...flops? What on earth are they? Fitflops are flip-flop shoes that have been specially designed to have a sole that places your heel at a different level to your toes ...  Read the complete review

Eurgh summer time is here and the manky feet are out! Seriously some of the sights I have seen this week traveling to and from work have made me want to puke. What I don't understand is why people wear open toe shoes/Flip Flops when they have feet which resemble the trotters of pigs... surely a friend or relative would be kind enough to tell them that it really is not a good look?. With that in mind I always aim to ensure that my feet, although I hate feet including my own, always look presentable and are not whiffy. Despite the fact I hate feet, I do love shoes. If my husband knew how many pairs of shoes I actually had, he probably wouldn't be a happy ...  Read the complete review

Is it possible to buy a pair of shoes that will exercise your legs? I saw some information about these shoes and it got me wondering. I am old enough to remember Scholl exercise sandals and I bought a pair of those many years ago so it was probably inevitable that I would be swayed by the hype and invest in a pair of FitFlops. What exactly are they? +++++++++++++++++ They are simply a pair of flip flops with a shaped and cushioned sole which it is said slightly destabilise the body which in turn makes you use more muscles as you walk. By doing so the manufacturers claim that you will tone the calves, thighs and buttocks. According to the ...  Read the complete review

I have never been wholly convinced by FitFlops, but it wasn't a craze that passed me by. I'll try anything to try to firm up my wobbly bits, so I thought I'd at least give these a try. I bought some online for around £30. I didn't think this was particularly extortionate given that a normal pair of shoes would probably cost a similar price. When you first get them out of the box, you'll notice that they're not the most attractive of shoes. The sole is very chunky and people will probably know that you're wearing FitFlops, having said that, they don't look ridiculous and they're perfectly passable as a standard beach shoe. Plus with the number of people you ...  Read the complete review
