FitFlop Mukluk

This past summer I was introduced to FitFlop Footwear and have been a huge fan since. I can’t think of any other product I have reviewed that has started more discussions in my daily life than my FitFlop Walkstar III Jelly sandals. My esthetician loves them and read about them online, my hair stylist was hunting for a pair before her vacation to Australia, and my massage therapist begged a friend to bring her back a pair from Europe this summer because she couldn’t find them in a store near her. FitFlop has a Facebook Fan Page with over 3000 members who love these shoes.Why are FitFlop shoes so loved? FitFlop footwear is biomechanically engineered to help tone and tighten your leg muscles while you walk in them. Studies conducted at the Centre for Human Performance at LSBU show that normal walking in FitFlop sandals can help increase leg, calf, and gluteal muscle activity, improve your posture, and of course improve your muscle tone. I watched a news report on FitFlop shoes this Spring and was happy to see that the reporter uncovered, through speaking with a Podiatrist, that it’s no gimmick! FitFlop shoes are engineered to work your muscles in a way different than ordinary shoes and walking can accomplish. With summer coming to an end I reluctantly put away my precious FitFlop sandals. My sorrow didn’t last for long, because I knew that FitFlop was working on their Fall shoes and they are now available! I was sent what I now refer to as my “pretty babies”, the new Mukluk from FitfFlop (ARV $220)! Now my legs and bum can stay toned all winter long too! I wear mine folded down like the photo above, but they can also be worn a little taller. Made with 100% double faced breathable Shearling (sheepskin) and available in 3 colors, these boots feel like cozy slippers on. Actually, it’s recommended that you wear these shoes without any socks at all! The first few times I wore my Mukluks from FitFlop, I was surprised by where I ‘felt’ the wear – my hamstrings! I could feel my hamstrings working when I wore my pretty babies the very first time, and it felt awesome! Depending on where you live, the Ultra Lounge (ARV $145 CDN) looks like another awesome shoe for your fall wardrobe – this one is on MY Christmas list this year. Intrigued? FitFlop has a great store locator on their website – just enter in your postal code or zip code, and you will get a detailed result including how close each FitFlop carrying store is to you! If you are thinking of going on a FitFlop hunt, call the store first – in my area I called a few checking if they had the new FitFlop Ultra Lounge shoes in yet and they didn’t. See, it just makes me want something more when it’s so hard to find! FitFlop is the perfect gift for YOU this holiday season! Bookmark their site, or better yet, open up the page of locations near you and email it to your hubby. If you want to treat yourself (and your bum…and hamstrings…I felt my hamstrings people!) this season, purchasing a pair for yourself can be part of your new years resolution to be more fit – hey I’d use it as an excuse to get these beautiful shoes!
