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.

      Another recommendation for Niko. Great communication, top guy, and super reliable and skilled - all at a fair price. Takes a lot of care in what he does and talks you through everything.

      Some foxes are very tame. The foxes that live near the electricity sub-station thing on the corner of Calton and Woodwarde will happily walk up to you/passed you. They are some of the best looking foxes around so clearly being well-fed - glorious coats and bushy tails but interested in humans and keen to engage/be fed rather than being scared.

      Let’s not all get scared of the foxes now. Most likely explanation is protecting its den or association with food. We have foxes, and cats and they are no bother to each other. The fox will leave when the cats are out.

      Bitey Fox.

      By Happyme5 · Posted

      I remember seeing something a few years ago on TV about a fox that was actually biting through people's shopping / takeaway food bags.  It was situated in an alleyway.  Not in London.  Very interesting in how the  urban foxes brain development has  been affected by their surroundings.   Not an exact quote from Darwin.  It's the adaptable that survive / not the strongest or the most intelligent.   I would be worried if a fox came close me.   Because they might be after my fur babies and they carry a lot of nasties.   Although they look beautiful from a distance or on a 🎄 card.
