FitFlop shoes are proving to be a very popular choice with women everywhere. They are toning shoes – when you walk around in them they will help you to get a toning lower body workout for your legs and backside. You can see why busy women would like them – and there’s no shortage of reviews online and in the press for these shoes.

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 talk to someone who actually wears them – is the fact that FitFlops are wonderfully comfortable. Reviews, quite naturally, generally highlight the toning benefits associated with FitFlops. It’s hardly surprising – a shoe that gives you a lower body workout just by walking about in it is a pretty big deal.

This is the result of a specially designed sole which produces a small element of instability. The muscles of the legs and butt attempt to regain the body’s natural balance, which means that they perform a little additional 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 contact area between the sole of the foot and the sole of the shoe. This helps to spread the weight of your body more evenly across the sole of the foot – and makes FitFlops very comfortable to wear.

If you do have the chance to talk to a FitFlop owner, don’t be too surprised if you find out that they have more than one pair. Many people even have numerous pairs. The first pair are usually bought for the toning benefits. The extra pairs are bought because of the comfort factor. Be careful – it’s easy to get into a FitFlop habit.

It’s noteworthy that the most recent addition to the FitFlop clogs range, the Gogh Pro clog – is specifically targeted at shift workers and hospital workers. Anyone who spends a long time on their feet throughout the course of their work day in other words. The use the same toning sole design as all of the other FitFlop shoes – but it is non-marking and non-slip. They also incorporate an adjustable, pivoting heel strap for a secure fit with the convenience of a slip-on style shoe.

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