The FitFlops range of shoes is proving to be very popular with women everywhere. They are toning shoes – which means that when you walk around in them that they will tone your legs and trim your backside. Busy women everywhere must consider these shoes to be a dream come true – and they get plenty of coverage and reviews in the press and online.

One one point which may not be made clear in reviews regarding FitFlops – but which will probably be mentioned very early in the conversation if you speak to someone who actually wears them – is the fact that FitFlops are incredibly comfortable. Reviews, quite naturally, generally highlight the toning benefits associated with FitFlops. It’s unsurprising really – getting a free lower body workout just by wearing a different pair of shoes is something that most people would be interested in.

This is achieved thanks to a scientifically designed sole which generates a small amount of imbalance. The lower body muscles do their best to maintain the natural balance of the body and the result of this is that they do a little extra work.

However, the toning sole which provides those, almost magical, toning benefits, also provides extra support for the foot – particularly in the area of the arch. It also maximises the surface contact area between the foot-bed of the shoe and the sole of the foot. This helps to distribute the pressure on the foot, produced by your body weight, more uniformly – which is why they’re so comfy.

If you do have the opportunity to chat with a FitFlop wearer then don’t be surprised if they tell you that they have more than one pair. A lot of people will have numerous pairs. It’s the free lower body workout that tends to spark the initial purchase. The additional pairs tend to be purchased based on the comfort of these shoes. Be careful – it’s easy to get into a FitFlop habit.

It’s interesting to note that the newest addition to the FitFlop clogs range, the Gogh Pro clog – is specifically aimed at hospital and shift workers. In other words, anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet at work. They have the exact same design of toning sole as the other shoes in the FitFlops range – but it is non-slip and non-marking. They also have an adjustable strap which provides a secure but comfortable fit with all the ease and convenience of a slip-on shoe.

These have just been released in the UK and should, hopefully, find their way to the USA before too much longer.
