Fitflops.....

Does anyone have any? Are they any good? Are there any other makes?

Just back from holiday where I was by my untoned thighs-need to do something more about them and since I live in flip flops in the summer thought it might be worth a try! Plus if they are comfy as well they could be good as i'll be pregnant all summer!

I got some MBT's - they're expensive but comfy, if a bit ugly.

Just googled fitflops -they look really nice, and very summery! I wish I'd done a bit more research before getting the MBTs, now!

I have several friends who wear these and think they're great. There seem to be lots of colours and don't look clumpy or ugly.

I have two pairs as they are the most comfy shoes Ive ever worn! Cant say Ive noticed a major difference in toning but I have been walking a lot recently so it would be difficult to know if the improvement has been from the exercise or the fit flops! I would imagine they'd be great if your pg as they are reputed to be great for back problems. Try rubber sole dot com for reliable free next day deliv! HTH!

I have a pair, I wear it all the time around the house.TBH....dont think, they do anything to help toning your legs ....must say they are v comfi but exp for just slippers.

I got some last summer and have been wearing them pretty constantly since then (live in a hot country!) and I have to say my legs are looking more toned than they have for years, without doing any other exercise than walking with fitflops on; I think they're fab.

Is there a fitflop/MBT type thing that isn't a trainer or actual flipflop? I find the between the toe thing uncomfy on flipflops and have to curl my toes to keep them on. The MBT's look too bulky. Is there an alternative?

Yes, fitflop now do a sandal without the toe thing, have a look on the fitflop site.

Thanks ladies! Looks like I need to get me a pair! Good to hear that they are good for backs-mine is not so great now and have 18wks to go! They don't look too bad-although they are more 'bulky' and 'clumpy' than my usual type of flipflop. Think they might be worth it though!

SabaSaba - thanks very much for that link . They don't look too bad, just wincing at the price!
