Does anyone know if there are any shops in Cyprus that sell FITFLOPS ? They are supposed to help with posture,balance and exercise your legs. I was sceptical about them but my friend bought some in UK and is raving about them. I am jealous and want some too !! Can anyone help ? Thanks

Are these actually any good - I've seen them in shops and thought they were quite expensive, but if they work???



Paul reckons he's seen them in TRNC - but of course, being a bloke, can't remember where. He also says "seen one pair of shoes, seen them all". This involves any type of flip-flop apparently!!!

Hi Jean my friend has a pair and whilst the are not the most elegant things , she has more deportment and balance. I never thought I would give up my heels but when you run up and downstairs like i do every day im all for comfort now Are they really expensive I didnt ask the price. If they are that bad it may be back to foxy lady fo me, only prob im like a kid in a sweet shop in there. love to you both xxxxxxxxxxxx

Lilli - now, I know where you're coming from with the kid in a sweet shop thing. I'm exactly the same when it comes to shoes - you can never have too many!!. Not sure of price - will check it out next time I'm in town and let you know. I've seen them in a local sports shop and just thought they were expensive, but will double-check. I've suffered with my back for years due to all the time I spent wearing gravity-defying heels. Still love them, although I now think of them more as "sitting down" shoes - if you know what I mean!!



Lots of love

Lilli - Now I don't know about you, but what I do is this. We've got a really lovely shoe shop here in Bury St Edmunds - Chica's. They have wonderful shoes, but, for me, very expensive. I go twice a year to their sales and snap up bargains, which are usually out of season, i.e. summer sandals in February. I then put them away (in their boxes) and when it comes to the summer, I have all these shoes I've forgotten I've bought! It's like Aladdin's cave when I open the boxes. I wear boots all winter but love sandals! Trouble is, like you, I end up with a stock pile!! I'm 5'6" but still love heels. I'm sure we're not alone with this - Paul buys shoes "when he needs them"Huh - men!!

ps We're talking sandals for £25.00 quid instead of £80.00 by the way!!

I think you may be trying to take on Imelda Marco's mantle (and shoes).

jean how strange thats my nickname also. better get on ebay and find these fitflops for our comfort zone you nderstand. sorry AJ its a shoe and woman thing. I can understand Paul buying when needed Guido is the same and throws the old ones out as I guess most men do but w may only wear them once or twice a year and stock pile hem. Well I hope Roisin gets tem. Mind you she is so lovely anyway it woudnt matter what she puts on she will be stunnning xxxxxxx

I have been wearing my Fitflops for a few months now they are supremely comfortable but not very elegant! They are around 35-40 pound in UK have not seen them for sale here or on other side. Have not noticed any difference in my posture/legs etc but maybe I do not do enough walking!

Hi Firestarter - message 14. We've now got a new shopping centre too, 'The Arc'. Trouble is, I think a lot of the smaller, independent shops will go out of business, which is a great shame.

Happy shopping!

I've had a pair for about a year and a half now and they do work BUT you have to really walk to see the benefit.



I dont know know if they sell them in Cyprus but ask someone to bring a pair over for you you can buy them at John Lewis etc or order them off ebay. They start at £36. Four of my friends have bought them on my recommendation.
