How does the FitFlop make you fitter?Every step you take in the FitFlop helps tone and trim your legs, improve your muscle tone, increase muscle activity and circulation, improve your balance and posture, and burn calories. In fact, FitFlops are biochemically engineered to absorb shock, lessen joint strain and recreate the gait of barefoot walking-but with a powerful new built-in microwobbleboard workout-enhancing effect.

Seven Reasons Why Everyone is Wearing FitFlops

FitFlop midsoles incorporate patent-pending micro-wobbleboard™ technology, to give you a workout while you walk. Developed by Darren James and Dr David Cook at LSBU, the FitFlop's unique safely-tapered midsole places varying densities of EVA under your feet each time you step, to challenge the support and balance muscles of the foot and leg. They challenge hard to reach muscles more. FitFlops are engineered with a multi-density midsole that stimulates your muscles more while you're wearing them. In independent University testing, FitFlops have been shown to trigger increase gluteal muscle response, increased hamstring response, increase rectus femoris (thigh) response and increased calf muscle response. Every step you take in your FitFlops helps tone and trim your legs. Studies at Salford University by Dr. Philip Graham-Smith and Richard Jones have shown that the FitFlop midsole extends the amount of time that the slow twitch* muscles are engaged during each step (by approximately 10-12%). So just by wearing a pair of FitFlops you'll get more exercise while doing just exactly what you're normally doing. *slow twitch muscles produce energy by converting fats into energy aerobically FitFlops work your bum muscles more. FitFlops have been proven to increase the amount of time that the gluteus maximus muscle is 'activated' during every single step. FitFlops have been shown to have a significant effect on the toning muscles of your thighs. The rectus femoris muscle (one of the large muscles in the group of muscles in your thigh) is activated for a longer period of time while walking in FitFlops than while normally shod or barefoot. Walking in FitFlops is like walking barefoot, but a little bit better. According to a study done at the University of Salford in Manchester, UK, the FitFlop wearer's gait is very similar to that of a barefoot walker, but the added cushion provided by the EVA midsole helps reduce joint strain and absorb shock. In fact, several FitFlop wearers have already reported relief from back pain after a few days of wearing them. FitFlops make it easier to stay in shape. Just throw them on while you're running errands, walking to work, or working around your house. Most first-time FitFlop wearers report feeling their muscles working more, while 'fitter' wearers feedback has been more toward great comfort and cushion. One woman reported feeling like she'd had a 'bum-blasting' workout after a half an hour of FitFlop-shod walking.

Microwobbleboard™ tecnology in the FitFlop midsole activates your leg muscles more while you walk in them.

Microwobbleboard™ tecnology in the FitFlop midsole activates your leg muscles more while you walk in them. Foot hugging upper keeps the sole of the foot in contact with the patent pending FitFlop midsole. Firm toe area promotes active push-off to maintain walking speed. Multi-density midsole extends the time the leg muscles are engaged during each step. Dense EVA heel strike point provides heel cushioning. Non-slip outsole creates grip to maintain stability.

 "Great Comfortable Sandals" 2010-09-02
By Cuda's Mom
I did not buy these for the "work out" benefit but for the claim of comfort as I have heal spurs & plantar facitis. I bought these 2 weeks before a trip to San Francisco & Yosemite so that I could break them in. I was thrilled with their comfort-we did A LOT of walking. If I was not in my hiking boots I was wearing the fit flops. They are the most comfortable sandals I've ever worn. I also brought my very comfortable Birkenstocks but they were unworn the whole trip.

The only thing I would improve on them is the soles--I would make them a bit more rugged & with better tread for improved grip. They run a bit big--I bought the size 8 and usually wear an 8 1/2 and they are perfect.

I have recommended them to many people and will continue to. If my legs look better because of wearing them--that will just be an added bonus.

I am so happy I ordered these thong sandals by Fitflops. At first the thong string bothered me as I am not used to wearing thong style sandals. After a day or so it was like second nature. The thick sole is very cushiony and provde excellent arch support. If you tend to have tired achey feet and heel pain as I do, these thongs will provide relief.

Ordered these as a gift for someone -- she won't stop raving about them. She wears flipflops around the house spring, summer, and fall. She has had problems in the past with plantar fasciitis and wears orthodics in regular shoes but no problems with these.


 "I love these!" 2010-08-23
By CodyAnne Pauli (Honolulu, HI)
Long story short, I had surgery on my big toe joint, and have since developed plantar faciitis. I can't wear flats and walking barefoot kills me, but who wants to wear gigantic sneakers everywhere? I wear my Fit Flops constantly - after waking in the morning, doing chores, checking the mail, grabbing a bite from the fridge, etc. These sandals are the best alternative to walking barefoot, but still not as good as, say, a pair of ShapeUps. This is because your feet react different to flip flops than they do sneakers, of course.

These aren't magic flip flops that are going to fix your medical issues. Nor are they going to magically burn fat off of you while you walk in them, trust me. They may help you tone your muscles a little bit, but for as out of shape as I am, if they did anything substantial, I'm sure I'd feel it by now! Hahaha. But seriously, I wouldn't recommend purchasing this particular style of Fit Flop for wearing 24/7 or for long distance walking (more than a half hour, give or take a few minutes, at a time). I walked to the store in mine yesterday, and while they weren't uncomfortable, it's just better for your feet to be wearing sneakers and I could tell by the time I got back home.

Also, I have noticed that my feet *kind of* stink after a bit. I'm not used to this - before needing surgery, I always wore leather flip flops that didn't stink quite like this. It's not terrible, just noticeable, and of course goes away after a bit. It must be the rubbery material the sole is made out of.

Overall, these flip flops are great for what they are - flip flops that are slightly better for your feet than most other flip flops. Hope I helped!


 "Love the fit--hate the quality. Oasis Fitflop" 2010-08-20
By Joan Bartlett
I've had 2 pairs, same kind, Oasis, and both of them blew out between the toes after a month. The worst part is that the company that makes them is overseas and doesn't respond to emails. Don't order them unless you wear them infrequently.
