Every season I buy a pair – if not two – of Fitflops; this year it is the pewter Electras, all jazzy with sequins, but I know it won’t be long until I cave and buy the Pietra in bronze. Ok, so what place do shoes have on a beauty blog? Well, in theory they are supposed to tone and hone your legs and bottom – I could confidently say that they’ve toned my calves and the backs of my thighs, but couldn’t hand on heart say they’ve given me tight buns (they tauten by making muscles work harder in miniscule continued movements – you can’t feel this happening). But ultimately, I buy them for comfort – they are quite literally the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever had, hence my ever growing collection. It’s not often I say buy, buy, buy – but with these, especially if you do a lot of walking – I can’t see how you’d ever look back.

I’ve wanted to read a positive review of these fit flops, but it’s been a matter of finding one, so thankyou for this! They’re actually more stylish than I remember when they first came out. xXx
They look great. Can you tell me though where they are made. I looked on the website and there’s no clue. I therefore suspect China which would make them a no-no. I will not buy Chinese-made goods. They have an appalling human rights record and I won’t be a party to it.
I check every item I buy so could you just check the country of manufacture, please?
If you have a chance I’m ja_latham@hotmail.com. Thanks.
I absolutely LOVE Fitflops! They are pricey but you are right. They are the most comfortable shoes/slippers ever. I gave them a glowing review too – I hope these get here. I like the bronze one 🙂
I bought a pair of these in the black patent last Spring and lived in them all summer. They are really comfortable and I don’t think they look too bad either!
Fitflops looking fantastic willing to buy a pair
I wish there were more styles without the toe post – the Fitflop ones always give me horrific blisters.
Hi Jalen, they are indeed made in China.
Thanks! They look great but I can console myself that I don’t fare well with toe-post footwear.
Just bought and have been wearing a pair of Pietras, the advantage (or disadvantage if you have wide feet) is that they are built on a new, much narrower fitting sole. I have two other pairs of Fitflops (in addition to two styles of the winter ones) and although very comfy they look a bit boat like and ungainly on my narrow size 4 feet. The Pietras are much more presentable and neat fitting, they also have a bit of a higher wedge which is nice if like me you are are a short-arse! So highly recommended; shame about being made in China though.
hmm. I would love to get on with Fitflops but took a pair back. Should I buy them smaller or larger than normal footwear? I found they kept slipping off – nightmare. I have wide feet, size 4and a half. Would love some advice as I would love to try again.
Jo I really don’t know – I am the same size as you and always opt for the size 5s…they are fine on my fat feet! xx
Okay, now I want to try these. I have MBTs but I hardly ever wear them as the soles are so extreme. (I feel like I’m a foot taller when I put them on.) These look a bit more reasonable… and it would be nice to get the bum/thigh workout.
I still haven’t bought a pair but with fancy stones like the Pietra and a 25% disc. this weekend at Macys dept.store in US , I am on the lookout. I will be checking them out tonight 🙂 I remember your rave reviews. The sequin ones were almost mine last summer. Glad I waited.
