MY NEW TONGUE TWISTER : FITFLOPS FIT MY FEET!


No, these are not my feet. If you know me well enough you'll know these CAN'T be my feet.
Ever since I learned how to buy my own shoes, I've had this challenge of finding the best footwear that could not only make my feet look decent, but make me feel good about them as well. You see, due to my sick habit of walking around the house barefoot ever since I was a kid, I developed flat feet. Not to mention my toes are a bit chubbier than usual that could separate themselves from one another. It's a skill that come in handy for me whenever I get pedicures, especially when I do them on my own. I can sometimes even pick things up using my toes too. Haha! The experiences that I've had with my feet have been a yoyo ride...from ingrowns, calluses, dead toenails (R.I.P. my pinky toenail) and many others, shopping for shoes became a mission and not just a simple visit to the mall.

I've been hearing about Fitflops for quite sometime now. I've had mine for 3 months I think. I have the same style as the one in the picture and as I look around, I'm happy that more people especially commuters have discovered what I found. It's the most comfortble footwear yet, and believe me I've tried quite a number of kinds of shoes. I even regret buying Havaianas because I don't use them that much anymore.

Here are just some of the activities that I am able to do flawlessly with Fitflops:
1. Watch a whole concert for 2 1/2 hours standing up
2. Run up and about during an international artists' promo tour
3. Go to the beach
4. Market at Balintawak palengke at 9:00 p.m.
5. Catch the MRT
6. Have a leisurely walk at La Mesa Dam Park
7. Drive from pasig, to makati to paranaque to cainta then back to Pasig
8. Organize a whole garage sale
and the list just goes on and on...

Fitflops never let me down. It's sturdy, comfortable, though a bit pricey. But when you do the math, it's well worth it! If I calculate it, I bought my pair last June...If I divide it by 3,000 
(I forgot the exact price) with 90 days because I pratically use it everyday, I just spend 33 pesos a day and it gets cheaper the longer I use it. It truly is an investment.

I hope they distribute the other variands of Fitflops here in the Philippines. The boots, clogs, sneakers, everything. I'm not saying I'm going to buy them all. I actually won't because I plan and I know that I will be able to use my pair now for a looong looong time. I just want them to come out with more styles so more women like me who have trouble with their feet can finally find true happiness and comfort while walking, jumping or running with Fit Flop!
