ubereglu Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I keep looking at the fitflops and I'd quite like a pair. I really like the ones in Tokyo purple, which is a limited edition colour, but I'd need a size 9 and can't find them anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try this Liz, every colour in a size 9 but not your Tokyo purple I'm afraid http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?storeId=10052&categoryId=42710&cm_sp=fitflop-_-p2a%20v1-_-C9094%3A%20rot%203 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Chook Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 I'm pleased to report that I've survived a quick trip to Brent Cross, where I bought a pair of black suede Fitflops for £36. I've still got them on now, and can see myself going to bed still wearing them. They're fantastically comfortable The chap on the till at John Lewis looked at me knowingly and said "Ah, Fitflops - your first pair? We'll be seeing you again soon, then, for your next four pairs!". He said if he was allowed he'd wear his to work even with his suit! Claret, you have great friends, how cool is that, free Fitflops AND MBT's?! Not that I'm envious. Thanks so much guys, very happy to have been convinced!! Now I just need to try and borrow a pair of MBT's before forking out for some of my own...

It's rare, and I don't expect to get any more if I do, it will be a nice surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 The chap on the till at John Lewis looked at me knowingly and said "Ah, Fitflops - your first pair? We'll be seeing you again soon, then, for your next four pairs!". I love my fitflops, they are so comfortable but definitely helped tone up my legs some. Only thing I found was I got cramp in my calves a few nights as they helped tone up my muscles OH was a bit grumpy when he realised that was why I'd been leaping out of bed with a cry of pain and hopping around the bedroom in the early hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they had a big stand, and seemed to have quite a wide range - off the top of my head, black and brown suede, silver, gold, bronze, black, white + red, white + lilac, cream leather, ranging in price from £36 to around £45, I think.

JM Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Has anyone tried the Gogh style? I hate flip flop type shoes (it's the bar between the toe and the flappy sound), but I love cloggy type things like the Goghs (sad I know) - so it would be good to see what people think of those. I've got a pair of black MBTs which look like trainers (the black hides the orthopaedic shoe look) - and they are quite good, but I'm not convinced they were worth the amount I paid!!

Jill Just received my black pair tonight - size 6 which is what I am was a bit neat but after being on for half an hour giving already so fine - will reserve final remarks till my feet are not so hot from all day on them but they seem good and look terrific - I hate flip flops too I am afraid but the flappy sound is still there with the goghs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I think these look good but look like slippers and I would not like to go out in the really wet weather like to-day in them - expensive slippers but comfy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinlan Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I can recommend the sketchers shape ups.... Much cheeper than MBTs and do the same job as far as I can tell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
