FitFlops

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

Now, considering I work in marketing, you'd think maybe I'd be wise to marketing people's evil ways of making people part with their money, and so have some kind of immunity to falling for hype. Alas, this is not the case. I seem to fall for a big hype-up even more than ever - and I've always been a bit of a bandwagon-jumper when it comes to "must-have" new items. It's not surprising then that last year I parted with £33 of my hard earned money to get myself a pair of fit flops. Hailed as the next big thing for no-effort exercising, I decided my life wouldn't quite be complete without them. Visualising my future toned thighs and bottom, I waited with ...  Read the complete review
