    Some people will pay anything they're asked if it's got a designer label on it. Those flip flops probably cost about 25p to produce in a factory somewhere in China...:rolleyes:
    If you will the end, you must will the means.
  • But these are no ordinary flip flops - they are Fit Flops! They tone your legs and give you a workout when you wear them (apparently). £45 in Boots though.

    Fit Flops

    No way I'd pay £60 for a pair though!

    Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j
  • Yes some people do. It's not just plain fit flop you see. Personally I prefer MBTs as they help me with my old ankle & back injuries. Btw, fit flop does come in colours as well. So a lot more cheerful than this black one :D

    It's the logo I find way too obvious and nasty :)
    My mum swears by MBTs. I'm trying to get over the fact that they look peculiar :D (I have had foot surgery and she thinks I should have a pair :D)

  • I admit MBT does looks very peculiar frivolous fay :p That's why when I first started using it I only bought the black ones.....so it's less obvious. Was a bit scared people or worst case friends calling me weirdo :rotfl:. However shortly after I can see how much it was helping me so I started buying various colours. I wouldn't even dream to give it up now. It's so so comfortable, much less pressure especially on your foot. You can walk for hourssssssss in it. Absolutely fantabulous (fantastic + fabulous hehe) Oh did I mentioned that I no longer use normal trainers? Give it a go ;)
