When I discovered ‘fitflops’ Iknew that I had found my ideal footwear. The beauty of fitflops is thatnot only do they increase muscle activity but they also ‘avoid excessivemuscle exertion’ giving you the most sleek and comfortable footwearavailable on the market.To give you an insight into the technicalities, Dr David Cook, asenior lecturing Biomechanist, explains; “The microwobbleboardtechnology increases activity in the muscles involved in walking byapproximately 10% when compared to a normal pair of athleticfootwear.”The shoes are available in an assortment of different colours anddesigns. They improve posture, mimic barefoot walking, improvemuscle tone and are ideal for those who suffer from back and legpain.I give the makers of fitflops two thumbs up for making wonderfulfootwear!Love is sweet andcaring.
