When you're walking along snow and ice covered sidewalks, summer seems like a very distant prospect indeed. Even so, you'll be surprised at how quickly it arrives, so it might not be a bad idea to start getting in shape for the beach as soon as you can.
A pair of FitFlop boots aren't just a fashion statement or a method of keeping your tootsies cozy and warm in the cold weather. They have the same special design of toning sole that is used in the other shoes within FitFlop's toning range. In effect, each and every step that you take will help you to trim down your bottom and tone up your legs.
Whenever you walk in FitFlops, a small amount of imbalance is produced by the special toning sole. The muscles of the buttocks and legs try to compensate for this in an attempt to regain the natural balance of the body. The end result is that they perform more work than normal - which is how you get the benefit of a lower body toning session.
So, when you're freezing your buns off as you walk around the town in the depths of winter, it's a nice compensation to know that each step is going to help you look better when you hit the beach in summer isn't it.
It's worth noting that FitFlop boots look absolutely nothing like athletic footwear. They're very chic and fashionable - you'll like the way they look. Neither is this just a matter of aesthetics. The fact that they look just like trendy winter boots means that you can wear them wherever and whenever you want, which means that you will get more wear, value and benefit out of them as you will be able to wear them in situations where fitness shoes just wouldn't work.
Looking good and helping you to get in shape isn't then end of the story though - FitFlops are also incredibly comfortable. The same special sole which helps you to get toned also provides extra support for your foot (especially in the area of the arch), reduces jarring due to impact and helps to maximise the contact area between the sole of the shoe and the sole of your foot. This results in a lowering of the average pressure which your body applies to the sole of your foot - and that's why FitFlops are extremely comfortable to walk in.
And there is a variety of different styles for you to choose from. And, when it is actually summertime, just change your winter boots for a pair of FitFlop sandals and you can keep getting your walking workout all year round.
