Someone else recommended them to me on here, sorry can't remember who but Thankyou!
Mine arrived on Friday and I have worn them all weekend. They are really cosy and comfy and I think they look great with with my jeans.
Only thing is that I had wanted to try them on first if I could but couldn't find anywhere. I wish that I had ordered a size up. (I'm probably inbetween sizes though) My heel does overhang the sole slighty more than it should.
But brill. I'm pleased.

I love them, love them, love them. I have had mine for about a month or so and could wear them all day every day.

I love them.

£88 !!!! (faints)

so its a boot that youc an wear indoors and outdoors? Why not just keep your shoes on? fitflops do an actual shoe now don't they? (as well as fitflops of course!)

I bought them online from Bliss. Here is sizing info.

I hope you like them. Am somewhat nervous now that you won't!

EldonAve · 12/01/2009 11:59

I only want to wear them inside like slippers but I prefer a solid sole so you can nip out in the yard if necessary

I already have the fitflops so I guess I will need the same size

If you register with BEauty Bible website and then click on their link to Victoria HEalth you get an automatic 5% discount on them. Not a huge discount but better than nothing.

Billows are fab. They are so comfy and didn't think they were doing any toning but I've since had 2 people comment that I'd lost weight, one being my harshest critic - my mum - and I haven't lost weight just worn these for a couple of months.

I've also been wearing them as slippers but wish I had been wearing socks with them because of their rubber sole they are a bit on the stinky side now! I emailed FitFLop about washing them and they replied that I could spot clean them which isn't really what I meant.

Thanks
I thought they were furry on the inside?

OP posts:

The upper is furry but the sole is rubber.

verylapsedrunner · 14/01/2009 19:32

I think I prefer the "Gogh" style www.thefitflop.com/styles

EldonAve · 15/01/2009 09:30

I like the fur on the billow but not the price!

they have them in a little shop in bury st edmunds called Scarlet - i only bought them after trying them on there. I would say the sizes run quite small. I wear them outside mainly. They are comfortable but it's a little odd that they have furry uppers but not the soles (like an ugg boot would). in my opinion the sole isn't all that grippy - when it was icy they were quite slippery on pavements - also I don't think they look that great. They are very comfortable though and much less extreme than mbts. For me they'd be too hot to wear as slippers. this post sounds more negative than I really mean it to, but I would definitely find somewhere to try them on

thanks faustina
our house is v cold so I'm wearing Ugg boots indoors

OP posts:
faustina · 17/01/2009 19:35

the weird thing about the fitflop billows is the fur is only on the upper bit. i am wearing sheepskin slippers and the nice thing about them, and uggs is the fur on the sole - which the fitflop doesn't have - see what i mean?

EldonAve · 17/01/2009 20:06

yeah I know what you mean

the ugg slippers are a similar price £78!

OP posts:
faustina · 18/01/2009 06:22

well I'd go for the uggs then - mine are from lands end - also llbean do brilliant ones in the states if you can find a way to get them delivered
