Just bought my Fitflops for the summer! They really are popular aren't they. I was standing in a queue for the cash machine and there were six of us wearing Fitflops!

Love the Rock Chic with swarovski crystals, but don't tell any of the guys on the site  and particularly not Sandgrounder, that this pair cost £180.00.
Incidentally, John Lewis are selling a selected range of Fitflops at 20% off. ;)

Lucky you  :)
I have been logging onto their website a couple of times a week waiting for any reductions. I was hoping a friend could bring a pair out for me in a few weeks time.  Thinking locically though, bet they don't reduce until December...it will be their busy sales time at the moment coming up to summer.

Thanks Cavfan. I have order a pair of these to try they seem to get a good press.  They must be popular as the only sizes left just now are 4/5
Also if you order anything on Avon this month and go through Kidstart you get entered into a competition to win a £200 Avon Hamper ;)

I find that plastic does not feel as comfortable as leather uppers on shoes and sandals.  I think the Avon sandals are plastic uppers,they look fine though.

BM06, have you tried those sandals or whatever they are you have mentioned!!!:D

Dunlop have also brought out very similar ones and they are on offer at TJ Hughes for £9.99 a pair. I have a couple of pairs of Fitflops so thought I would try these and bought a nice pink sequinned pair.Have tried the Skechers ones as well in the past (til the dog ate them!) Very comfy and very pleased with the Dunlops at that price!

Gloria, They are the in footwear to be seen in this year, a must for any Calisite, to stroll along the prom, with your nose up in the air, you will feel a millionare, and dance like Fred Astair!.......... PS how is Lenny settling in?
Title: FitFlops - get ready for next Summer!
Post by: Old Daffodil on April 26, 2011, 12:05:42 PM
Please show some photos of you wearing your lovely sandals(or whatever you would class them as)!!!:D

Lenny is fine and escapes into the village regularly then sits down in the middle of the high street!He is well known in the area and very much admired. Our 14 year old Border Collie is still his boss though,she like to steal his chewies,and he lets her. :)

I have two pairs of Sketcher sandals I bought at the outlet village in N.Y.  They are definitely the most comfortable footwear I have every worn and I put them in the washing machine when they get dirty.  Problem is Sketchers don't make this design anymore which is why I am trying to find a replacement.
BM06 These shoes came out at least a year ago.  I remember a piece on T.V. about them, they neve seemed to catch on.... I wonder why???

Well said Toky, I'm in complete agreement.  Although fitflops aren't quite as bad as crocs I really don't see what all the fuss is about (and before anyone says try them  - I did, last year and didn't like them so just sold them on ebay!  :).  

And as for £180 for a pair!!!!   :o

Toky if you see a pair of Jimmy Choos as cheap as £180.00 I want to be the first to know.  In fact, keep an eye out for these ones, my current favourite http://www.jimmychoo.com/sandals/zambia-/invt/103zambiasat/    Unfortunately at £180.00 I am around £400.00 short for these:(

If anyone suffers from Plantars Fascyitis then Fitflops are the answer! My feet have been so much more comfortable since I discovered them hence why I wear them all summer. Pain free feet....bliss :-)

Post by: Old Daffodil on April 27, 2011, 12:22:20 PM
Fitflops are a footwear carefully designed to give a good walking surface to the foot and incorporate a wobbleboard!:DI want comfort. Although I like more attractive looking sandals and shoes for going out somewhere special I would not like to spend all day wearing them.
