At
last our thoughts can turn to summer and the inevitable move in
footwear to the
newly bought
flipflops. For me this usually means several
weeks of agony whilst
gradually bedding in
new ones before I can feel totally
comfortable and at
ease. However, this was until I discovered the
Reebok EasyTone Flips. Having become the proud owner
of a pair of
Reebok Go Outside II training
shoes this winter I was very excited about receiving the
Easytone flipflops equivalent. On
opening the box I
fell in love straight away, they looked
amazing!
I
couldn't wait to try them out and throwing all
caution to the wind, dangerously
wore them for a whole day. After
eight hours continuous clothes'
shopping I
felt a
very slight ache around my toes (and my credit card). There again this
isn't unusual following a mammoth
shopping spree, for either my toes or bank
balance, (we have two daughters - enough said!) I find the
Reebok EasyTone Flips
are fantastically
comfortable to wear
.
I
know what you're thinking: "What about the manufacturer's
claims regarding
toning legs and
buttocks?" Well, I have found that they are just
as impressive as
the
Reebok trainers – in fact maybe even more so – my calves feel particularly
toned and for some reason they have also had a
slimming effect on my
ankles!
Like
most people I am more inclined
to walk to places in the
summer and I have no
hesitation is wearing my
Reebok EasyTone Flips every time. Equally I have
adopted them to wear about the
house
and
garden. They are very easy to find (bright pink) and, more importantly, are
kind on my feet. They have a
useful knack of
looking elegant both
with
casual clothes and more formal attire. They transform
long skirts and
trousers.
The
Reebok EasyTone Flips come in
several colours - I adore my
pink and black ones, very summery and distinctive.
Reebok EasyTone Flips are priced around
£46 per pair, and appear to be selling out fast at some of
the more well-known
department stores.
