Eat Well. Travel Often: style

COMFORTABLE and STYLISH, these are two things we consider in choosing a new pair of shoes. Is it comfortable on your soles or heels? Does it pair with anything you wear today? It's hard to find that suits best on your feet especially there are a lot of footwear brands on the market today. But every time I ask my friends what's the most comfortable and stylish shoes they can recommend, they always say FitFlop.

Fitflop Sporty-Pop Canvas Sneakers Jexx Hinggo

I posted a few photos of FitFlop shoes and sandals a few weeks back on Facebook and I didn't expect to receive plenty of likes and comments. All of the comments and reviews I received were positive.

"It's very comfy! Its better than wearing rubber shoes with socks."

"It's great for long walks."

"Worth it. It's durable! I've been using mine for 3 years now."

"It corrects posture."

"I love their newest collection!"

"I highly recommend it!"

I do not own a pair until Primer Group of Companies, the distributor of Fitflop in the Philippines, invited me to get a pair at their store. Frankly speaking, I did not know that they have men's footwear. It came as a surprise when we visited their store at Abreeza Ayala Mall.

Fitflop Neoprene Back-strap Sandals Jexx Hinggo

At first look, I immediately fell in love with all of their shoes and sandals. All are stylish and on-trend. I tried on their Neoprene Back-strap Sandals and it really looks good on me and it's very comfortable to wear. Same goes for the Sporty-Pop Canvas Sneakers. I've never had a pair of shoes as comfortable as this.

I chose the Sporty-Pop Sneakers so I can wear it anywhere especially at work. I've been hunting for a new pair of shoes because I have heel problems for quite some time now. And I want to test it if it will somehow ease the pain and discomfort I feel every time I walk.

I've been wearing it for almost a month now and I can really tell the difference. I have less to no heel pains ever since I started wearing it. No more corns and toe calluses too!

I also love how simple yet on-trend my Sporty-Pop sneakers looks like. It pairs with anything I wear when I go out for work or any casual event.

FITFLOP SPRING SUMMER 2018 COLLECTION

FitFlop continues to deliver the perfect combination of style and comfort with their wide array of shoes, sandals, boots, and sneakers. They are on-trend, all-day-wearable, and has versatile styles. they have new styles for Spring and Summer 2018.

The uber-popular Uberknit sandals and sneakers are back! The slip-on style Überknit Gladiator Back-Strap sandal features the signature one-piece stretch-knit, hugging the foot in an open-toe silhouette.

With bungee-inspired elastic in place of laces, the Ghillie sneakers make light work of the athleisure trend and are perfect for pulling on after yoga, or pairing with floaty midi-skirts or skinny jeans and exploring the city.

I suggest you visit any FitFlop store near you or visit their website to check other designs. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for shoes that are comfortable and stylish at the same time. Your feet will definitely thank you! :)
