Although they were named one of Oprah's favorite things for summer, FitFlops got less than a stellar review in yesterday's NY Times TMagazine. Writer Alex Kuczynski took issue with both their appearance and their failure to produce rock hard glutes, claiming the only things she gained were "a funny tan on my feet and an unrelated searing pain in my right foot."
Well, SheFinds had a slightly different experience with FitFlops when we reviewed them back in May. Granted, our butts didn't end up tight enough to bounce a quarter off of just by walking around for an afternoon, but the burn was definitely felt. So we ask our readers – Have you tried FitFlops? If so, have you noticed a difference in the muscle definition of your legs, or is this just another gimmick? Sound off in our comments section below.

They’re ok but I get the same ‘workout’ in my regular flip flops. Also I met a woman who broke her ankle in them. Her orthopedist says it happens a lot.
I have about six pairs and have worn them exclusively all spring and summer … they’re very comfortable and that’s all. I don’t notice any special workout effect.
They’re SO uncomfortable!!!
hmmmmmmm they are not very fashionable – especially if they don’t work! I will stick to my havaianas :)
I wear mine all the time, and I have to say I come down more on the side of the NYT- they are ugly, and although I find them comfortable enough, I really haven’t noticed any workout effect at all. Come the autumn, I’ll be going back to my MBTs if I want a walking workout- those really do make me feel the burn!
sara do you wear the mbt’s all day long or just for a walking workout?
