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.

    • Adding my recommendation for Niko too. Found his number on here and he came out at short notice on a busy weeknight to help us with a kitchen sink issue that had flooded our kitchen that day. Really helpful, responsive and went out of his way to fit us in and help us out. Very reasonably priced too - would thoroughly recommend!
    • Looks like it! Though according to the OP, they are "golden, hand-crimped parcels  packed with flavour" 😀 I don't understand. Admittedly my brain is functioning at a very low level at the moment. Does that mean various local shops get together and agree to offer a discount to anyone who shows them a receipt from one of the other ones dated the same day? I can't see what's in it for either of them, unless people shop somewhere they wouldn't otherwise have done just to get the discount. Is it for vaguely  linked things, say cheese from a cheese shop, wine from another shop? Showing my age there.  And then suppose it's always the same shop which people go to second to get the discount? What's in it for the first shop? People go there in order to get the discount in the second shop?
    • Local (especially independent) businesses should do like Wheelers Oyster Bar in Whitstable and offer a discount to anyone who can show them a receipt from Chacarero dated the same day.
    • Aria was great, he managed to come the same day after what had turned out to be a pretty long day at work and fix a really bad blocked pipe that needed to be resolved as soon as practicable. He’s lovely, professional and really helpful. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable plumber in the area. Thanks Aria!
