Hi Mrs Y,

I've got some and I love them.....they're definately not MBT's though, so if you're after a workout you'd be better off with those.

Having said that, fitflops are soooooo comfy and mine are on their 3rd summer with no sign of giving up on me. I used to go through pairs of flipflops by the dozen! I do miss all the jewelled/different coloured/beaded and general sparkliness of normal flippies, but I figure I've probably saved enough money on just one pair nearly 3 years ago to make winter boot extravagance acceptable!

It's a win win!


Dulwichmum, I feel your pain.......sounds like the solution lies in cake and not shoes........... :)

I'll second the amazingly comfortable part - and now they do have some sequinned, crystalled ones so you don't entirely have to give up on nice-liking flippies. They're pretty hardwearing too - I climbed down Table Mountain in some the other month and both they, and I, are in one piece. You do need to break your feet into the thong but once you have, you can walk for miles in them - very useful when on holidays.


But, I don't think they really work on the workout front. If you don't exercise at all normally, you might feel something in your calves the first few days (according to a pal). I go to the gym so didn't notice any difference. Think lunges/squats/diet are more likely to get you that perfect advertised butt.

I love my Fitflops. I never had any problems having to break them in. I first bought them when they came out. I have some of the short boots as well as the regular ones. If you buy them online from Victoria Health you can try them out at home before committing. They do free delivery and returns I think - although I haven't ever returned anything. I also found that in the thonged ones I had to go down a size. They only come in whole sizes.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By malumbu · Posted

      Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By ctovey · Posted

      If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.

      Electrician - Geek electrics - Bob Barwell

      We found a recommendation for Geek Electrics on a here after we wanted to have a electrical inspection of a property we are buying. From the very beginning through to the end Bob was responsive, helpful and demonstrated his knowledge. He has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. We will defiantly be using Bob again and would thoroughly recommend him! His details are... www.geekelectrics.co.uk 07453 407 226 [email protected]
