And what are they like? Do they really do what they claim?

I have some . Don't know if they do what they claim as virtually impossible to walk in. Mine are not deep enough for my foot so fall off with every other step. Big waste of money.

Oh, thanks for that, I was almost going to order some but will think again.

ive got some and they are FAB!!
Soooooooooooo comfy and i didnt take them off for 6 months!

Now 2 of my sisters and one friend have them too cos they were insanely jealous of my footwear..

I might give them a try then. What size are yours redwino?

Don't buy. They are cheap and ill fitting. Get some mbt's if you are serious about that kind of shoes.
You get what you pay for.

allgonebellyup · 22/03/2008 18:55

the sizes come up quite big.. i am usually size 7 but ordered size 6 and they are perfect.

oh forgot my mum bought some too!!

allgonebellyup · 22/03/2008 18:56

pah! dont listen to the conflicting advice!

rosealbie · 22/03/2008 18:58

I did see some Mary Jane style MBT's which looked OK but still way too expensive for me.

Which shops sell Fitflops? I'd like to try a pair on.

Mine are size 6. Reason they are no good for me is that I have high arches. I do think they are overpriced for what they are to be honest.

rosealbie · 22/03/2008 18:59

I'm usually a size 6 shoe, if you wanted to get rid redwino let me know. Sorry, a bit cheeky I know

I do have some. And they're extremely comfy. I wore them every day last year (when the weather suited) and I'll get them out again when the snow goes.
Whether or not they do anything is another matter. I don't feel anything being toned. I don't think they're worth the money, but they are more comfy than normal flip flops (but then you could probably go to clarks and get a posh pair for the same price that are better made and look a lot nicer)
So, I'd say, yes comfy, but not worth the money. (I'm a 7 and bought a 7)

John Lewis sell them. I tried some on yesterday and had a quick stroll up & down. They felt comfy, but no different to Birkenstocks/Merrells/other "healthy" flipflops/sandals

redwino · 23/03/2008 20:21

Rosealbie, you wuld be welcome to them but i have promised them to my sister. Sorry
