CURRENTLY LOVING: FITLFOPS

MY FIRST PAIR, PIETRA BRONZE (pictures from Google)



I first heard of this pair from a Multiply contact. Apparently, she was on the lookout for a comfortable pair of flpflops fit for a preggy mom. Being an online seller herself, she launched a preorder line for Fitflop.

When I did some research on the internet, I found the pair too bulky for my taste. I prefer slim and feminine types of sandals or flipflops and my collection of Havaianas is mostly composed of the slim models. Only when I visited an outlet store of Fitflop I was surprised the pairs are very lightweight contrary to what I initially thought. From then on, I wanted one for myself.

There are different of styles and models to choose from. The price ranges from Php3490 - Php5990. The price can be pretty hefty but I guarantee your money's worth when you have one. I would usually get achy feet and legs with just a stroll in the mall but I was really amazed I never felt any joint or muscle pain when I wore this pair the whole afternoon in MOA!!!! Not to mention, I was carrying my one year old toddler from time to time!!! Now I found the HG sandals fit for my lifestyle. I got the best of both worlds... I own the most comfortable and stylish sandals in one. Who wouldn't want that, right?
