FitFlop Women's Electra Sandal,Bronze,8 M US

Product Description

Fabulous, fun, and with just the right dose of 'flash', the irresistible ELECTRA occupies the top spot as our bestselling sandal ever. Smothered in sequins for a bit of girly-whirl, and built on our leg and bottom muscle-toning Microwobbleboard midsole, it’s the flip flop with the gym built-in.

FITFLOPTM . GET A WORKOUT WHILE YOU WALK

FitFlopTM footwear is biomechanically engineered to help tone and tighten your leg muscles while you walk. Studies at the Centre for Human Performance at LSBU show that normal walking in FitFlop sandals* can help:

  • increase leg and bottom muscle activity (up to 30%)
  • absorb more shock than a normal shoe (up to 22%)
  • help realign ground force reaction closer to your joints (so you feel less ache in your hips and knees)
  • reduce foot pressure
FITFLOPTM footwear has the potential to increase muscle activity in terms of duration and workload and instigates a more active foot profile. As such, we recommend that all FITFLOPTM footwear be used progressively to avoid excessive muscle soreness.If you;
a) have any health concerns which you suspect may be aggravated by wearing them,
b) experience any discomfort as a result of wearing them,and/or
c) are pregnant, please consult a medical practitioner before starting or continuing to wearing FitFlop footwear.

*When compared to a control shoe. Case studies were performed on Microwobbleboard technology over a forty-eight month period by Dr David Cook, Senior Lecturer in Biomechanics, and Darren James at the Centre for Human Performance at London South Bank University (LSBU).

5.0 out of 5 stars My truth about FitFlop Electras, September 7, 2009
First, I have not seen any difference whatsoever in my leg or butt muscles. I don't care. Not only are these cute, but they are uber-comfortable.

I bought these FitFlops about a week before I went to a conference in Los Angeles. I wore them around, broke them in (they don't need much) and ended up wearing them all my waking hours. We did some walking, and I was happy. It wasn't until my cousin and I went to Disneyland from 10 a.m until midnight, walking, walking, walking that I realized just how much these FitFlops really help. I walked for the whole 14 hour day and did NOT have horrible knee pain. --Three years ago I screwed up my knee trying to do a 5K. After that I walked 3 miles a couple of times a week (~an hour) for exercise and my knee would be sore. Sometimes I had to quit walking after even 10 minutes, the pain was so sore! But not so with the FitFlops, even after a super full day at Disneyland! Talk about awesome!

One more thing. I've had... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars OMG, Comfortable AND Sexy!, October 30, 2010
By 
I've found that when I wear shoes with a heel (even a platform low heel), my feet get this weird numb feeling, for days after wearing (scary!). That does NOT happen with these shoes. I can wear them all day and night long (walking, dancing, standing) with no discomfort whatsoever. Seriously, these are my "go to" shoes - I wear them as often as possible. I'm picky about comfort and style and fit, and these shoes are perfect for me!

I happened upon these (in black) at a local store. I was looking for a nice pair of black sandals. I love Teva Mush (flip-flops), and various Birkenstock styles, but they are generally very casual looking (not quite sexy enough). I tried the FitFlop Electra on, along with Sketchers of a similar style. Both were comfy (and close in price), but I noticed the FitFlops felt "right". I bought them and have happily worn them almost every day since (6+ months). They still look great (I do flip a few sequins back into place every so often, just so they... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars different strap tightness, December 29, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
I already owned the pietra fitflop sandals and i love them so much that's why i decided to buy another pair. Since I have the pietra in size 9, I thought they will all be the same. I ordered Electra in size 9. I was so excited when they turned up because not only did I like the design & comfort of fit flop, I will also be able to give my pietra sandals a bit of a break every now & then. I was a bit disappointed because the strap of the Electra sandals is so loose around my feet. Why do they make it ldifferent? I know I have the option to return them but I live in Australia and I was about to go travelling when they arrived, so didn't have time to to do all that. I just took them with me & hopefully will get used to them eventually. Warning to people who are buying the electra online, buy one size smaller than your usual size.
