Mrs Y Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I am think of buying a pair of Fitflop and wondered if anyone had any views on them.Regards Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11319-views-on-fitflops/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

dulwichmum Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 The claims are complete and utter trash. My lardy monster in law has had two pairs and they do not provide a work out of any kind. She is still a lardo. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11319-views-on-fitflops/#findComment-324180 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulsie Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 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........... :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11319-views-on-fitflops/#findComment-324192 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsebox Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Buy at least two pairs per person.I'm a shareholder, btw. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11319-views-on-fitflops/#findComment-324210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applespider Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 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.

*Bob* Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 If it's a toned physique you're after, I think 'a salad' followed by 'some exercise' might work better.

cate Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 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.

cate Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 They are sold at Stella B but you couldn't return them if after walking around in them at home you decided they weren't for you.

ianr Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Is this about anything more than the discovery that flat shoes are actually healthier and more comfortable than ones with a built-in tilt?

Smiler Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Rip off - ?45!!!Lots of the supermarkets etc. are starting to do similar looking flip flops for under a tenner (without the dodgy fitness claims).
