Fitflops on Oprah
FitFlops are designed to challenge and stimulate hard to reach muscles more than normal shoes. In independent University testing, FitFlops have been shown to increase the stimulation of the gluteal, hamstring, calf and thigh muscle response.
For those who normally wear orthotics the FitFlops may not always be suitable. The micro-wobble action created in the midsole challenges the muscles of the foot and arch, and therefore may not be suitable for everyone who needs orthotics. It is recommend that you consult your podiatrist prior to wearing FitFlops if you currently use orthotics in your footwear.
If you are pregnant wearing Fitflops may not be a great idea either. It is a good idea to check with their obstetrician or GP before you start a fitness routine of any kind and that includes Fitflops.
Below is a segment on Oprah reviewing the Fitflops:
