The range of shoes from FitFlop is proving to be extremely popular with women all over the world. They are toning shoes - that is to say, they help to tone your legs and trim your butt when you wear them and walk around as normal. Busy women everywhere must consider these shoes to be a dream come true - and they get plenty of coverage and reviews in the press and online.

One thing that you may not see so often in online reviews regarding FitFlops - but which will probably be mentioned very early in the conversation if you speak to a FitFlop wearer - is the fact that FitFlops are incredibly comfortable. Unsurprisingly, most reviews have a strong focus on the potential toning benefits of FitFlops. It’s no wonder - a shoe that gives you a free lower body workout just by walking around as you would normally do anyway is a big deal by any standards.

This is achieved by the use of a specially shaped and designed sole which generates a small element of instability. The leg and butt muscles try to regain the body’s balance, with the end result that they carry out some extra 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 distribute the pressure on the foot, produced by your body weight, more uniformly - which is why they’re so comfy.

If you do have the opportunity to chat with a FitFlop wearer then don’t be surprised if they tell you that they have more than one pair. Some people will own several pairs. The first pair are usually bought for the toning benefits. The extra pairs are bought because of the comfort factor. Just be aware - FitFlops can be addictive.

It’s interesting to note that the latest addition to the FitFlop clogs range, the Gogh Pro clog - is specifically intended for 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 have an adjustable strap which provides a secure but comfortable fit with all the ease and convenience of a slip-on shoe.

As is normal with FitFlops, these have been released in the UK first - but hopefully they should be available in the USA soon.
