Posture:
The first thing I noticed when wearing Fit Flops is improved posture. When I put them on my abdominal muscles automatically tighten which causes me to stand taller and straighter. This automatic tightening of the abdominal muscles will eventually cause the core to become stronger.
I find this really impressive as I had noticed upon turning 40 holding the abdominal muscles in had become a chore that more times than not I ignored. When wearing these shoes you do not even have to think about pulling your abdominal muscles in it just automatically happens.
Cost:
Fit Flops generally cost around $49.50 a pair. In my honest opinion, since they generally need to be replaced every 4 months or so it would be nice if they were priced a little lower. However, because of the level of comfort and the results they give I will be a repeat customer.
Availability:
Since Fit Flops are relatively new they are just starting to show up in America availability is still very limited. They can currently be purchased on line at Victoria Secret.com and Bath & Body Works. Some Bath and Body Works stores keep them in stock. Eventually I believe Macy's will also be carrying them.
Important Notice:
If you are extremely sedentary, out of shape or have not worked out in a while you might want to limit the amount of time you wear fit flops at first and gradually wear them for longer periods of time. I personally suggest wearing them around the house a few hours at a time to get used to them before wearing them for a long walk.
Firmer Legs one Step at a Time:
These shoes really do take walking to a whole new level. They do increase muscle tone, which enhances the appearance of the leg. Improved posture strengthens the core while added comfort protects joints allowing for a more enjoyable walking experience.
