Havaianas, Crocs and Ipanemas are just a few branded rubber slippers I know of and none of them made me buy even 1 pair. I am such a cheapskate and I won’t spend so much for a rubber, you know? I am just not a fan.

But in FB, my friends are getting gaga over this new brand called fitflops and because they look better than the other brands I mentioned, I asked hubby if we can try it. They say it’s so comfortable and it relaxes the feet.

Hubby and I got these pairs for £45 ($70) each and because we really had a long walk before we found it, we changed to our new slippers right there and then. While on his new slippers after a few minutes of walking, hubby said it’s not making his feet feel better. He still continues to walk with it, though. While I, find my feet comfortable in their new expensive slippers. Until the next day, I wore it again and found it uneasy to walk. I felt a bit pain in my feet, but I don’t want to blame it on the slippers. I guess I got the wrong size. I should have gotten 1 size smaller so it will fit my feet perfectly. It’s sad though that I won’t have the chance to buy one in the right size anymore because I told myself that this will be my first and last expensive slippers, evah!

I am most comfortable though with my ever reliable pair of rubber slippers that I bought in the Philippines for $1. It’s just so soft and it relaxes my feet really well. Personally, I would rather buy a dozen or more of that cheap slippers in different colors than buy this one expensive pair again.
