Summer!! Let's Review Flip Flop Spa!

One morning, not too long ago, I stumbled across a morning show.  You know the ones with news and talk and such.  They had a table set up with all the great, new stuff you should be buying... I LOVE when they do that.  The girl help up a flip flop she said would soften my feet.  Hooray!

You should know that I hate my feet.  There isn't anything wrong with them in particular.  I just hate all feet!  I hate looking at them, putting cream on them, ugghhhh!  The thought of going for a pedicure or someone touching my feet totally freaks me out.  So, a shoe, even is its a flip flop (of course I hate flip flops and sandals... ewww) that can exfoliate and soften my feet just by wearing the shoe?!  Hooray!

So, I decided to visit the website.  The name was memorable, even though I didn't write it down that day.  "Flip Flop Spa" how decadent!  I visited the website several times over about 4 weeks.  The flip flops were a little expensive... if they were junk.  If they work, its pretty reasonable.  For around $60, you can have the deluxe type starter kit.  For about $30 you can have a more basic kit.  You can also purchase individual pieces to customize your experience.

I decided to try to save some money and pick and choose the most important pieces.  It was a little difficult.  The item descriptions were lacking, well, descriptions.  The website was forcing me to depend on purchading the expensive kit in order to get eveything I needed, because there was no description of what I needed.  Confused? Me too.  So, here's the thing, I ordered everything in the deluxe kit separately, and it was cheaper than buying them together... a lot cheaper!  Of course I was missing the carrying case (which you cannot buy separately, so I cannot include a price for that in my total), so technically they could say that case is worth $5 or $100-- see you really are saving if your buy the kit!  wink wink.

Despite the flaws in pricing, website design, and item descriptions, I really really wanted to try this product, so I spent the money!!!  (BTW I did email the company with all the complaints listed above.  It seems to be a small start up company that maybe is unaware of these complaints.  I have yet to hear back from them.)

My products arrived today.  I was a little surprised when the FedEx truck pulled up, since I recieved no product shipment email.  But they arrived safe and sound and packaged well.  Here is everything straight out of the box:

Everything was in a very cute burlap case.  The flip flops looked well made.  The color was silver leopard and it was very sparkly!  I do love sparkle!  I didn't like the heel on the bottom of the flip flop, but since I haven't walked around in them yet, I'll not judge just yet.  But aren't flip flops flat?

Here is the top:

And everything else:

Not sure if you can tell by the picture, I ordered an extra set of pads that I didn't need.  Due to poor descriptions on the website, I didn't know the base pair came with a set of pads.

I intend to try out these flip flops over the next month.  I'll review everything again then.  But so far, everything looks VERY well made.  If I saw this set in the store and was able to touch it, and try everything on, I would purchase it.  The only flaw I see so far is the website. 

But stay tuned because these feet...

... could use some work!  Oh ewwwww did I just post a picture of my foot???!!!!  I might have nightmares about this!
