My friend recently told me about fitflops which are supposed to be comfy, provide you with a 'work out while you walk' and also help with aches and pains, posture etc- styles look ok too:-

Boots have them but £36

Glynis....how apt your post is, I ordered 2 pairs this morning online. I ordered the originals for £36 and the updated 2009 model for £45. Should have them Thursday. Apart from the difference in the fitness aspect I'm keen to see how they compare for comfort with the Capri Crocs :tup

Ooooo let us know Miss will be interesting to hear your views on them :tup :tup

I think I was too late in going to my local Sports Direct on Saturday :(

They had loads of Caymans and they did do the flipflops but the only ones in my size were a lurid puce pink and frog green :really

The others were massive sizes unfortunately!

Back to the drawing board and a pair of Sketchers flips for me! :wave:

Toots don't know if this will help but Sports Direct have a website with Caymens listed in various colours but only certain sizes:- http://www.sportsdirect.com/Products/Default.aspx?DescriptionFilter=Caymans

I bought my Athens online as the choice of sizes seemed better....although depleted stocks now.

They still have Athens flip flops and Ithaca in several colours and sizes available.

I have a pair of fitflops and they are the most comfortable things ever
Don't know about all their claims but my posture is better and I swear my bottom looks smaller :)

SNAP ! That's exactly the same as the one's I ordered. They arrived on Friday and they're quite comfy......I still prefer the Athens one's but for £15 they're a bargain :tup

My friend showed me a tip recently with the croc flip flops - she just pulled (and I mean pulled - my heart was in my mouth) the toe post bit and mine were a lot more comfy afterwards. Stretch Armstrong sprung to mind. :rofl
PS I succumbed to temptation and bought 2 pairs from Sports Direct. My friend was pleased as I ordered her a pair as well - she'd been after red for ages but, because of a foot (well feet) problems needed a size 10 - hey presto they were there. So thanks to Toots for getting me to search for the link :rofl :tup

he says it's my fault,for telling him,the tip :cry
it certainly gave me a chuckle,he was pulling that hard,he nearly fell backwards,when it snapped!
