Two weeks after I had bought my first pair of fitflops I began to notice that the pain in my back had eased. I didn’t take too much notice of this as quite often it did ease without explanation. I had bought the fitflops for their claimed ability to banish cellulite and what I had noticed was that as soon as I put them on I felt more upright which may sound silly but if you suffer with backache as I do you often feel as though you are twisted to one side. I could feel my muscles tightening when I wore them and from what I read this meant that they were doing me good though I had not really noticed a difference in my legs or bottom but it was early days.
Mt monthly shopping trip was due and I dreaded it knowing I would suffer severe back pain as I always did as soon as I walked into the shop. I was half way thru my shopping when I realised that I only had a slight backache nothing like the severe pain I usually experienced. I completed my shopping without having to stop once which had never happened before and suddenly I was elated. Could it be my fitflops? I was a bit dubious as the manufacturers made no claim to curing back pain. Tlhey had been designed for busy people to “workout as they walked” so perhaps my back was just being kind to me for once.
When I returned home I went straight to the internet and looked at the reviews for fitflops and was amazed to find that I was not alone in crediting my fitflops with curing my back pain. There were more than a few others who claimed relief from not only back pain but from knee pain and ankle problems. My $50 was certainly well spent.
