FitFlop Shoe Review

Are you ready to meet the most amazing shoe your foot will ever slide into? I am so excited to bring you this review.

With previous problems with back pain and being diagnosed with scoliosis, it has been my quest to not only get fit and maintain a strong back, but to find a shoe that will keep my back in line while walking around. Not only do FitFlops do that, but they build your legs and buttocks at the same time. Their slogan: "It's the flip flop with the gym built-in. Put on a pair and you get a workout while you walk."

That is no joke. I can not only wear these around for casual grocery shopping, but I can also speed walk in them. They don't ever feel like they are going to fall off. They truly are comfortable. And when I really power walk you can feel it in places that you would not with a regular shoe. My calves and hammies feel it the entire time. With tennis shoes my feet feel somewhat claustrophobic and get hot right away when walking for long periods. These are great as your feet breaths like any other flip flop. Here's how they work:

The heel strike area of the of the FitFlop midsole is made of high density EVA to absorb maximum shock, and to speed the foot into the softer less stable mid-footbed. The mid-footbed creates a slightly unstable platform for the foot. This forces your muscles to switch on for longer to ensure balance and give your leg a workout. The mid-density toe section provides a firmer area for toe push off and faster step speed and rest for your legs between steps.


Don't worry boys, you were not left out of this one. They have a great shoe for men named Freeways. These shoes come in tan/white or black. The white shoe shown below, is the ladies version of the Freeway. This will for sure by my next pair!
For those of us who can't wear the flip flop style to work and still want to continue that leg workout during the day, there is an alternative style named the Gogh. They are made with a water repellent DuPont treated suede and the same toning technology found in the FitFlop. Slide them on and "gogh". These are available in black and brown.

On a side note, they also come packaged in a great looking shoe box and come with a red drawstring bag to store your shoes when not in use. A great added packaging feature. I hope you check out the FitFlops and give them a try. You can purchase these shoes on line or find them at a quality shoe store.

When your not in the gym, why not take the gym with you? I rate these shoes a 10!
