Quick View: I don't know exactly how beneficial these FitFlops are but they are far less expensive than MBT shoes and seem to work the legs and even the butt muscles as I walk. For 40 bucks, I'm satisfied.

You read it right. These are called FitFlops, not Flip Flops. I like getting new and leading edge shoes and these fit the bill so I ordered them, just got them and felt compelled to write a review.
The FlipFlop is a new type of sandle that is "engineered with a safety tapered varying density midsolde that creates a micro wobbleboard workout in every step". From this description we can clearly establish that the company has invested more in their product design and nothing in their marketing department. ">)
So, in non technical and non marketing speak, the FitFlops are designed to make your...

I'm no health specialist or dietician or hardcore dieter/exerciser, but the sales pitch for the shoes was hard to resist. So I plopped down the $50 for them as soon as they became available at my local Bath and Body Works and started walking.
First of all, I did notice that the gait while walking with them felt strange. It almost felt like how your legs feel when trying to walk or run through sand, only without the slowing of speed.
A couple weeks later I got a puppy and he decided to try to chew on them. The left shoe is a bit gnawed up and looks like it's ready to fall... review »

I called my friend Bobby in Birmingham about FitFlops. He has all of them since his surgery in his leg, His doctor told him they will strength the muscles & to tell his girlfriends that cellulite is history wearing them.
He is laughing that I told him to buy me every color. My Christmas present! He laughs cause he can visualize me walking in them in 3 feet of snow. He gets them for $20 USD so I have him getting a sale too! So far red, green, navy, black & yellow all teamed with white. See photo he sent me.

Very comfortable. Sturdy and sporty design. No disadvantages of regular flips flops. No lower back, knee, or hip pain after walking 9 miles in one afternoon. Worked out calves more than regular walking. My core feels a slight difference too. Not sure if my core would feel anything if I had only walked 1 mile, though.
They don't sit on your foot in the same place as regular flip flops- which take a little to get used to- but no big deal. A bit of blistering on the top of my foot (that happens with all new flip flops though).
Some people say that they are a bit pricey but I disagree. ...

I purchased these because I had heard they tighten your butt muscles and legs. I dont know for sure at this point (2-3 weeks after purchase,w earing every day) if they do that. But I will admit that they are the most comfortable sandals I have worn in a long time. At first I hated the leather seam in between the toes, as it rubbed and hurt, but now I dont mind it at all. It takes some breaking in period to get the hang of the shoes, but once you do, they will be comfortable.
As for the cost, well they are REALLY pricey for a pair of sandals. I am unsure at this point if I will purchase another...
