Last week Vivawoman told us about her new Skechers Tone Up slippers. Coincidentally, it was when I was drooling over the FitFlop Pietra slippers. Both are “mere slippers” with a function ostensibly to help tone your legs and bum. But can slippers or footwear do that?
Skechers and FitFlop says yes of course.
From my personal experience with FitFlops, I did not experience dramatic toning up of my legs or bum. It must be said that I do not wear my slippers everyday because I work and I can’t wear FitFlops to work (I could but I don’t 😛 ) and the only time I wear them for any length of time is when I’m out shopping or travelling.
I came across the Skechers Tone Up slippers and Shape Up shoes at the Skechers boutique over the week. The Skechers Tone Up slippers do look and feel like a dupe of the FitFlops at a smaller pricetag. The Skechers ones are RM169 each.
Unfortunately, I could not find any that fit my feet. Size 5 was too small in the footbed and Size 6 was too loose at the thong area – I have narrow feet. For reference, I take a 4 in Fitflops. So I passed.
