The latest craze to hit London are these Gladiator Aurelia FitFlops (price TBD). Set to sell exclusively at Kirna Zabete and Net-A-Porter, FitFlops are designed to miraculously trim and tone legs. This hybrid of fashion and fit is sure to turn heads; whether in a good or bad way is still up for debate. The UK loves them, do you?

Awww I like!
1As soon as my sis has a sale @ her shoe store I am buying LOTS!

2Almost enough that I might leave the heels at home for a day or two a week. *g*
Ugh, NO...they remind me of those "sock sandals" that were featured the other day. I just don't think these would look cute on ANYONE.
3I think these might be among the most hideous shoes I have ever seen.
4not my style at all...
5i don't get it, fitness flip flop? how exactly do they contribute to fitness? "engineered to tone and trim your legs as you walk" - ha!!
ugly as all hell, though. you have to have good legs to pull off gladiator sandals to begin with - i can just imagine how gross these are going to look on some people : /
6NO. NEVER.
7Hot!
8I don't mind the thought of working out my legs, but those shoes are really ugly and I don't consider flip flops an acceptable form of attire to go out in. For me flip flops are for the beach/pool and inside of the house only.
9Ewwww, totally yuck!
10The flip-flop/sock/boot hybrid fad must die.
11I h8 anything Gladiator shoe-like
12YUCK
I'd buy these!
13This one looks comfy. But nahhh... even if I am clueless about fashion, I won't be caught dead wearing this flip flop.
14It's a very look-at-me style, and that's not my thing, but I AM very excited to see the fit flops getting more fashionable. Maybe next time they will make a style for me!
15LOL Whiplashgirlchild, i like how you said you love it, but your picture is a yuck face.
16Fugly!
This gladiator sandal thing is totally out of control at this point. Some of them are heinous.
17I hate a flat sandal. What is wrong with people? They are so unflattering!!! When will they ever stop making them?!!
18I hate this whole trend. It needs to die. NOW.
19I love flat sandals and gladiator style, but I hate these because of the thick upper part.
20I still don't like this trend..
21Ooooh those are some masculine clompers. Not for me!
22these are very interesting because i've only seen fit flops come in a sporty style. they also stick out like a sore thumb and the wearer might as well include a shirt that says "I'M WEARING FIT FLOPS!!!!!!!!"
23this is great for those ladies who have been hesitant to try them because they aren't always wearing athletic clothing and i guess the idea of fit flops would be to easily combine working out with your daily life. i can imagine someone wearing these almost anywhere without it being so obvious they're meant for exercise. though i have a hard time liking fit flops or gladiator sandals, i like that the women who do have another alternative.
I hate flip flops, but I bought some shoes similar to these by Jeffrey Campbell and I love them. I get a lot of weird looks but I like ugly fashion.
24So love it!
25They look comfortable.
26they should engineer cuter flats that tone the legs. I'd be all over those!
27Love it! Gorgeous!
28I want the fit-flops (to see how they work or if) but all the ones they have are ugly. These ones are at least a little better looking.
29those are horrid im sorry
30Those would look ridiculous on me, but I think all gladiator-type shoes are fabulous on the right person.
31I almost voted Love, however the more I look at these shoes the more I hate them (so my finally vote was Hate.)
32They remind me of the sock sandals that I didn't really like, so I voted "Hate." And how do they keep you fit? I don't understand that part at all. I do like gladiators though.
33no....just no.
34I think they're pretty cool looking!
35they look comfortable.
36I do like them!!! I have the regular fitflops from bath&body works i think, and they do work your muscles good. These are a cuter version though!
37NO WAY!
38No!
39definitely like it!
40Hello Shrek!
41For whatever reason I've been a life long gladiator sandal lover. It might have something to do with the fact that I hate hate hate my ankles beyond all reason. Anyway, I went nuts when I saw these,(MAX ANKLE COVERAGE HOORAY) and so ordered both colors.(Hello- is there a head examiner available?) I'm 5'11ish with most of my height in my tanned and lankish pins, so that should help. Stay tuned - I'll letcha how it goes!
42I'm reading the negatives on the shoe. I own them and I LIKE THEM. When you think about it, they are a an ancient Roman male professional fighters' shoe design, Right? When I went to South Coast Plaza (Costa Mesa, Calif.), and I was cornered by the sales fashionistas FIVE TIMES and foto'd by phone three times (dudes usually don't get this treatment)! The Guess store manager whipped out her camera and videoed me requesting that I toe-pose the shoes (man ,that was wierd)and describe the "what name, who made, where bought....etc. I am going to email the maker and recommend branding with makers like Loius Vitton, or Bernardo, for example. The soles really do what they are designed to. And for you girlies, Jackie O pink should be a colour option.
