When we think about shoes, the last thing we want to think about is function, and even less so, about functional fitness. We almost never work out simply because shoes for working out are so, you know, ugly.

However, we think we've found the answer in the FitFlop, a pair of flip flops that everyone and their mothers (which makes us a worry a little), has been talking about. You're going to be throwing on a pair of cheap flip flops to run your bazillion errands this weekend anyway, so why not, put on pair of flipflops that will actually improve core muscle strength, absorb shock on feet, knees and back, and strengthen and tone muscles in feet, legs, buttocks, stomach and back. Wearing these every weekend for the next month might get you in shape for summer beach wear without having to do a thing.
