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.

      Council "weed" removal

      By Mabaker · Posted

      Our refuse collectors leave rubbish all the way down the hill after they have emptied the bins. Everywhere you go you see rubbish everywhere. On some days walking through the high street in Peckham can be truly depressing with plastic bags and paper blowing around everywhere, Peckham and other streets deserve better than this Council complacency. I'm sure it wasn't so bad back in the day. Councils everywhere, faced with cuts in revenue, must have decided a long time ago  that litter picking  and rubbish collection were not so important. I think a clean, tidy environment makes everyone feel better about their home environment. Btw, I'm ok with a few weeds. They are just wild flowers in an inconvenient place.

      Have just enjoyed watching 100s of cyclists go past on Peckham Rye west. Couple of penny farthings, lit up bikes and music too!

      This thread has got weird, people asking what the kids look like that are terrorizing people and getting shut down points to one thing
