The sandal is made from synthetic or leather material and has a rubber sole. The heels is not that high. It is approximately 1 1/2″ – 2″, while the platform measures approximately 1″. The sole is flexible and is man made. The leather at the top of the sandal is patented.

The sandal makes you fit because of its component. The sole is made up of three unique densities of EVA foam that when added, they create a slightly destabilizing effect. Your muscles are engaged each time you take a step. This increases your leg, calf and gluteal muscle activity for better tone. It also improves your posture; and reduces the amount of stress on your lower back and feet. So you’re unwittingly engaging in physical exercises while keeping the house tidy, going on errands, or walking through your favorite stores with friends or family members—without interrupting your busy lifestyle.

According to the manufacturers, the sandals was created in the UK. This was possible afterr a two-year collaboration between former Bliss spa-entrepreneur Marcia Kilgore, Biomechanist Dr. David Cook and a team of untiring footwear engineers, FitFlops were initially designed to help modern women squeeze a little more exercise into their increasingly hectic schedules.”I thought, how amazing if I could invent something that would help fight the onset of cellulite while I’m walking to the office,” says Kilgore. “I work. I have kids. I have a husband. And the likelihood of me seeing the inside of a gym in the next ten years is slim to none. That said, I’d obviously prefer to go with slim.” Kilgore found Dr. Cook at The Centre for Human Performance at London’s LSBU, where he envisioned injecting the patent-pending ‘microwobbleboard’ technology into the midsole of the function-forward flip flop. Slightly destabilizing, FitFlops feature three distinct densities of EVA foam in a single-fused underfoot piece, to challenge your muscles more every time you step – to deliver a workout while you walk.
