FitFlops

A few weeks ago I was pretend shopping... this is something I do to try to trick myself into believing I'm actually shopping. The other week I happened to be doing this on Victoria's Secret dot com. When I stumbled onto the fact that VS sells FitFlops.

Now FitFlops were brought to my attention a couple of months ago. You can read about them on their website above.

One of the things that FitFlops claims is they are specially designed to work out your calves, thighs, and butt while you walk. I don't really believe that shoes will tone my butt or anything... so please don't think I bought them for an "easy" work out.

So why did I buy them? Well look at them... they look like one dang comfortable flip flop. I waste money each year on flip flops that just end up hurting my feet... these looked super comfy and quality made.

VS had them backordered until the end of June... so last Friday they came. I was so happy... they fit good (I normally wear a 9.5 but I ordered a 9 and they fit great) I was super happy with my purchase... while they do give some height, I feel like I could walk long distances in them and be good.

I ended up taking them off where I take off all of my shoes... the dogs have NOT been chewing on my shoes for awhile now, so I didn't even second guess it (maybe you see where this is going...)

About 2 hours after they came Chad asked me why one of my shoes was in the middle of the floor, he picked it up and there on my brand new, less than 2 hour owning shoe one of the dogs had chewed the strap...

I was livid!! The dogs (by this I mean Bozley) only chews on my new expensive shoes!!! (I don't normally spend much on shoes)

Well Chad playing peacemaker between me and my hatred for the dogs offers to stitch them up... I really didn't think that he would be able to, but he did a very good job. He even said that if it doesn't hold up I can get a new pair (or is there anywhere I can buy just one shoe?!?)

It's now Tuesday and I've worn them everyday since I got them and the stitching is holding up very well. My feet feel great, they don't cause any pain... I can't attest to a slimmer butt, but if that happens... well it's just an added benefit.

I'm very happy about putting my stamp of approval on these bad boys.
