Created by the woman behind Bliss Spas Marcia Kilgore, Fitflops it is claimed to burn fat, improve posture, strengthen muscles and reduce joint strain. Sound a bit too good to be true to me, but according to Kilgore it works.
How do they work? Well, in a similar way to MBT, the Fitflop slightly destablises the foot as one walks, creating a kind of continuous tension in the muscles of the foot and leg. "It's like a mini-wobble board," explains Kilgore. "It makes you step more naturally and it activates the slow-twitch muscle fibres in the legs [the fat burners]."Both in the UK and the US the Fitflops are now so popular that are waiting lists in the shops so I guess either they either the shoes are as good as they say or it is the same old story about women and their bodies… Perfectly toned bum and legs and life will become perfect. (No, I’m not being sarcastic at all…)

Has anyone got their hands (feet) on a pair yet??
I friend of mine in the US says they are amazing.
Curved shoes are nothing new in the evolution of footwear. The Fit Flop is only a "curved" flop that is very expensive considering what it does for you.
MBT's 5 layer sole with its unique Masai Sensor reestablishes natural rolling motion of walking & standing, improving posture, toning muscles, reducing stress on knees, hips & back and increasing circulation and respiration.
People often ask me why I only like MBT and not the Earth Shoe, Chung Shi, Fit Flops and other curved footwear. In the 1970s when Earth shoes hit the market they were a groundbreaking phenomena. In the 1980s NIKE introduced its revolutionary AIR technology and at the beginning of this decade MBT launched its physiological footwear, uniquely inducing the natural conditions of running, walking and standing through its five layer sole and Masai Sensor technology. MBTs are true physiological footwear. Curved shoes like Earth Shoes, Chung Shi and Fit Flops are decent, but nothing new and pioneering like the MBT.
I get my MBTs at www.FeetFirstFitness.com which has great fitting guidance and excellent technical information that shows how the MBT is much superior to footwear that is just curved like the Fit Flop.
I think this shoe is the best invention ever. I am very picky about my shoes. They must have a leather sole, or they will never make their way into my closet. As for the Fitflop, I love them!! I have been a hairdresser for 17 years, and I also have 2 herniated disks. By the end of the day, my feet and back are usually killing me. Not with my Fitflops.
