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.

      He Came To Peckham

      By Chris Haydon · Posted

      For PECKHAM PODCAST @NigelBiggar Lord Biggar CBE came to Peckham, in part to talk with local people, some of whom did not show up on the day. They were a group of local young Black students I had contacted via a local connection. I later learnt that she would not expose her young people 'to that man'. Others had looked him up on Google apparently ... just as well he has links with the Free Speech Union. #Colonialism #Empire #Slavery #SlaveTrade ... if you feel you can risk it, here is that man:

      "Unfortunately, over the GALA period the park pond has suddenly become littered with plastic cups and bottles that have been thrown into the water (I assume thrown as not sure how else they would get in there). This may be pure coincidence but prior to last weekend the pond was clear. Does park management have a way to get onto the pond and fish all the plastic rubbish out, I wonder? It can't be good to leave it." it's been very windy the past few days, could be down to that

      Since the ES have posted such a glowing report of the festival, perhaps they'd be interested in a report into the resulting damage, or the Guardian?
