I've put together a few well-being tips regarding the use of Fit Flops for your review. Many questions and concerns have been raised in online communities and if you have been hesitant about these shoes, then keep reading for your question may be answered below. Is hiking an approved activity while wearing Fit Flops? These sandals are not like the many varieties of Velcro trekking sandals. The thing is, they offer no protection from bad weather or rough terrain. The central concept of the Fit Flop is that they are a fitness shoe, meant for walking on more flat surfaces and for city dwellers. The idea is that you get a workout while you walk, so you don't need to visit the gym for a fitness routine. Will my feet be more prone to developing calluses? There is no evidence supporting this claim. It is said by several reviewers of this shoe that they actually have less calluses than with other types of footwear. The main reason why is that they were developed to give a lot of room around the feet, thereby decreasing the amount of friction. Is it beneficial to exercise in Fit Flops? They were not designed for working out, cycling or jogging. There is no strap or counter at the heel so the likelihood of your sandals falling off during exercise is increased. Also, your feet are not protected from any sort of falling debris should you wear them whilst hiking. It is truly a walking sandal, and should be used as such. That is the main reason for developing them, to get a workout while you walk. Is it recommended or not recommended to wear them when pregnant? This is a tricky question to answer. You should really consult you doctor / obstetrician about this. It's debatable in that the developer of the FitFlops says that it is not recommended because they work muscles harder and may cause excessive strain. Many in the online forums have said that they have had success when wearing them when pregnant. Many claim less varicose veins and less leg strain. |
