fitflopblackredstripe.JPGNadine took a peek at the 'Fit Flop' thing, back in June, and they apparently sold out instantaneously and garnered a waiting list with thousands of names.

These babies are now available in the US, through Bath & Body Works, and they too experienced a super-quick depletion of their first shipment. The next shipment will be in soon, and offer the signature red striped 'FitFlop' as well as a new, more subtle (less ugly) black version.

I think I can stomach the black ones if the claims are true; 'FitFlop' fitness shoes absorb shock and less joint strain while helping you gain muscle strength, tone your legs and burn calories - just by walking around!" Imagine that - burning calories while walking with these special shoes? Don't I burn calories while walking even if I don't wear any shoes at all? Nevertheless, if you're interested: US$45, available now to pre-order.
