Guess where the street map on the bottom of the fitflop is from and win a weekend away to that particular city, including flights and £500 spending money. Passports required! At the top it says that accommodation is included but the Terms and Conditions say the winner is responsible for arranging own accommodation.......

I personally don't have a clue of the city!! Perhaps somewhere in America? :confused:

    Just a guess but it looks a bit like Manhattan in New York.

    -Edit think I got this wrong, seems accommodation is paid for.

    If it New York it must be the south end as the piccy doesn't show much grid like streets like it is more north.

    It says it includes flights, hotel accommodation and £500 spending money?!

    Edit: See what you mean! Perhaps responsible for booking may not mean you have to pay for it!

    I would say it's somewhere more European like that.

    Sorry, my mistake. T&C says "winners are responsible for booking their own accommodation" so that's why i was confused.
    Will update my earlier post.

    now we're convinced the manufacturers are Australian, could it be somewhere in Australia?

    If you click on the "Where To Buy" option you can choose locations, it then brings up streetmaps that look so much like the map on the shoe so I think that may help us find where it is (Having no joy so far though lol :rolleyes: )

    I'm probably being premature but I have a hunch it's Paris, I just can't prove it yet. The river with what looks like a railway running along the far bank which crosses (or maybe goes under, rather) the river, looks right. I'm pretty certain it's European as kateab says, too organic to be American.

    Ok never mind, I give up, could be any European city
