Just checked my beloved ebates site and saw that you can get 2% cashback from Victoria's Secret (one of the places you can order these). And, if you sign up through a referral you'll get $5.00 cash back after your first purchase. The person doing the referring gets cash back too Woo hoo! I'll put my url in my profile so you can save and in the future, give your friends your own referral # so both you and your friends can benefit. A friend turned me on to ebates a few months ago and I've already gotten a check for $25.00. Yes, it's cash, not credit!
![]() ETA -- I just posted about ebates in The Stumble Inn with the idea of starting a "train" so everyone can benefit. Last edited by Bearygood; 04-07-2008 at 02:07 PM. |

Holly, these look cool. Let us know how they work.
I wonder it they would help spasticity or make it worse? If it helps it, I'm on my way to Macy's. ![]() As for wearing flip flops, that's all I wear from March to November. I have an assortment of flip flops. On good gait days, I can wear my flip flop wedges with the pretty jewel like things on them. ![]() |

These also looked great to me! They looked like they would be very comfortable, and once you get used to the strap between your toes, you never have trouble with that again! I have several pairs of sandals with the toe strap, and I love all of them!

This is the first I've seen of this one. But a couple years back there was a similar one. Some show did a test of them. Had a couple dozen people try them (not exactle scientific, but anyhoo) nobody got any real results.
I say, get them and walk. Walking is good. That's what I should be doing right now, walking, lol. ![]() I'm wearing the most comfortable pair of flip flops from Earth shoe and I could walk all day in these. Waiting to try out a pair from Yellow Box. If you do get those, let us know how they feel, okay.

Just to add my two cents - my husband's cousin's wife always wore flip-flops - she slipped on the basement stairs two years ago and the flip didn't flop - stayed on her foot and caught on the stair tread - she fell under the stair railing onto the concrete floor - broke her checkbone and jaw - left shoulder and as she had just had a double hip replacement - damaged her hip - will never be the same - so unless you're really stable in your flip flops - don't take the chance !

I was going to keep quiet until I saw your post KarenMarie, but I too have had falls and broken bones because of leg weakness and foot drop....both thanks to MS. My physio told me to get rid of any flip-flops that I had in my wardrobe, as these were a big factor in MSers with leg or foot problems, having falls. Just my 2 cents worth.

I also live in flip flops, weather permitting, even the $2. My calves are really muscular just from the workout the spasms give em but I would love to tone my abs just by walking. And they are kinda cute!

When I wear my flip flop wedges, my muscles do get more of a work out. But I will only wear them on good gait days. |
