FITFLOPS - Any ideas?
The OH's Mum got me a pair of Fitflops from the UK, amongst other things, for Christmas, trouble is, they're a size too small, she must've got mixed up cos I'm a UK 4 but wear a 36 in Birkenstocks! Anyhoo, the tags are still on them, so, whats the chances I could take them to Athletes Foot or the like and see if they'd swap em for me? lol

Sorry I couldn't help but I did have to google fitflops. What an absolutely terrible gimmicky idea !!!
But then I suspect that a lot of people who buy them also probably walk as far as the car and back indoors.

MIL buys you fitflops in the wrong size........hmmmm
You have to ask what the motive was behind getting those- they are hideous.

Arrrr - but the big question .... will you buy another pair, in the right size? I've seen these in A. Foot too and wondered if anyone actually bought them, they're expensive but then so are Berks but I know that they're worth it.
My mum's got a pair of Fitflops in UK and she says they must do some good because they make her calves ache like she's done a million step ups
(that would do my thighs personally) but I digress.
Let us know how you go?

Re: FITFLOPS - Any ideas?
I bought a pair about 6 months ago and they're great, I mainly wear them about the house (we live on a concrete slab), but also for going down to the shops, school or beach. The podiatrist recommended them. I got them at Jim Kidd's at Harbourtown in Perth and they were about $25.
