Features of The FitFlop Shoes:

The underlying technology is called Microwobbleboard, which helps increase the amount of time that your muscles are engaged as you walk. This heel consists of three parts that work in concert to provide a safe and effective shoe. The heel is constructed to absorb 22% more shock, the midsection is the section that creates instability which increases leg muscle activation, and the toe cap which helps maintain speed and pace.
