Marcia Kilgore, the founder of Bliss, the Mecca for spa hoppers on both sides of the Atlantic, teamed up with engineers and designed a shoe that´s named FitFlop.
As soon as I saw them, I knew I had to have them. Truth be told, I wasn’t the only woman dying to get her feet into the latest greatest leg-toning thigh-trimming footwear…
The King’s Road Sporting Club in London, UK was one of the first shops to stock the miracle shoes and sold more than 700 pairs in three days. Owner Michael Conitzer said:
In 13 years I’ve never seen anything like this. It is the fastest-selling product we’ve ever had.
The FitFlop website apologises for the current limited availability of the sandal, which is due to it “selling out faster than you can say gluteus maximus”.
So, if you’re not already pounding the streets with a pair of FitFlops, you’ll have to join the thousands in the queue for this summer’s must-have footwear.
13 reasons why I adore my FitFlops
1.) After Luis was born I started my weightloss journey -I´ve lost 142lb so far, exercising plays an important role in this weightloss. I rarely have the time to go to the gym… so I love the idea of getting a workout while I walk.
2.) FitFlops have the potential to make my butt smaller and my legs leaner.
3.) Although I´m addicted to shoes I love to walk barefoot, especially in the summer. The biomechanically engineered Fit Flops help to recreate the natural gait of barefoot walking.
4.) FitFlops are really light - they weigh around 400g per pair. This makes me feel like walking barefeet and it makes them fantastic to take with me when traveling.
5.) Each step in my FitFlops absorbs shock from my feet, knees and back. My back feels better since I wear them.
6.) They are very comfortable while they help me to gain muscle strength, tone my legs and burn calories - toning is as easy as putting one foot in front of the other =)
7.) I´ve been wearing my Fit Flops for a while now - and I can feel the muscles of my legs working overtime, from my calves all the way up through my hamstrings to where I need it most: my glutes.
8.) FitFlops come in three colors: red, black and bliss blue. Like all these colors lots - so the FitFlops fit perfectly to my apparel.
9.) FitFlops look cute - I thought about ordering some MBTs a few months ago, the Masai Barefoot Technology training shoe, developed by Swiss Engineer. But to me the MBTs are monumentally ugly (though some say equally effective).
10.) I always wanted to own something with a “powerful new built-in micro-wobbleboard workout-enhancing effect”. =)
11.) The insoles are squishy, which help with the comfort. The sandal is the most snug at the top of my foot, and since the strap comes back farther on the top of my foot, it doesn’t “flip flop” as much when I walk so the FitFlops don´t come off too easy - I´m not afraid to brake my bones in them.
12.) Rumors abounded FitFlops help you to get rid of cellulite, too. Dreams to come true - not confessing I have cellulite 
13.) Last, but not least: My French pedicured toes look very cute in FitFlops
I love “ordinary” Flip Flops… so the FitFlops, half sexy sandals, half muscle toning trainer, will definitely get my vote for “must-have” of the summer: I´ve completed my FitFlop Collection a few days ago =)
