My daughter and I each bought a pair of Fit Flops in April. We both say they are the most comfortable shoes we have ever worn. The band across the top of my foot is a bit loose for me but it's up high enough that I don't have any problem keeping them on. I have just ordered another pair.

I've been wearing my Fitflops for 2 months now. Comfortable (although rubbed terribly at first) and probably better for your posture than normal flipflops, but not worth the money (this product is 'made in China', so I suspect a nice profit is being made). I feel silly for buying into the hype.

I think they are fantastic. I have worn mine for about 3 weeks and apart from being the most comfortable thing I have worn on my feet for a long time, they do actually work. My muscles in my legs and butt do feel like they have had a workout when I have been wearing them for the day.

They are available from Boots.com, £36 plus postage.

I have to say I'm very disappointed. These are definately a gimmick! My feet are covered in blisters. My holiday was ruined as fitflops caused nothing but blisters and sores on my feet. Fabric absorbs moisture so they're unhygienic. Buy Birkenstock, Berghaus or Crocs instead! Walk away from these!

Hello,

Bought my online, just received them today. So far only walked around the house (snowing outside), they feel comfortable and cushy, I think if nothing else they'll be a very comfortable pair of slip ons. I am not looking for an easy solution, and am an avid work-out addict. Bought them for the times when you take your kid to Disney World and don't really work out, but walk a lot.

So, I'll get back to you on that.

Absolutely love my fit flops bought them in kensington in august and from the word go my feet never tired. why cant all shoes be made this way. I generally suffer with my feet tendonitus in the heels and through my job am on my feet all day so you can imagine the pain, when i finally get home to sit down before having to cook dinner. please please can the makers of these wonderful fit flops please make sensible walking shoes with the same properties as the fit flop as i would buy them in a heart beat. the fit flop for me is like walking on air the cushion sole is perfect for walking all day without pain. love them love them love them.

Absolutely hated these shoes. I was skeptical but I read positive reviews and decided to give them a try. I usually am an active walker but I've been away from it for several months. As soon as these shoes came in, I put them on and went for a one hour semi-fast paced walk on my tredmill. Not only did my feet have blisters the next day from trying to keep them from slipping off (I assure you I had the correct size), my muscles felt absolutely nothing for days to come. I continued this "experiment" for several days and felt no improvements. I returned them to bath and body works and the manager actually said to me, "ANOTHER pair being returned. I assume you hated them and they did not work." Enough said. Save your money for holiday shopping and stick to traditional workouts.

I picked up a pair in australia and I LOVE them. I have even purchased toe socks to make it through winter with them!

I have,like others, worn my fitflops almost continuously and am not looking forward to cold weather when I shall have to wear shoes/boots. I have found that my ankles and feet have not swollen up at all as they usually do in summer and they are looking slimmer and trimmer than for many years.
The only question I have is how to keep them clean and not - inevitably - a bit smelly. I scrub them periodically but don't want them to perish.
