Product Description
The Latest addition to the FitFlop range this summer, the fabulously masculine Dass features a soft collar (stitch and turned top line) and microfibre lining, lightweight foot hugging leather and precision sequin placement for shinier shine! With the Electra FitFlop you can give your feet and legs a workout even when you are out on the town! *NEW* - Microfibre lining and soft leather toe post for added comfort. Several leading studies have shown that wearing FitFlop actually extends the amount of time that your slow twitch muscles are engaged during each step by between 10-12%. So, just by wearing them, walking to work, working around the house or shopping and you'll feel and see the benefits. FitFlop sandals have even been clinically proven to increase the amount of time that the glutes maximus muscle is activated during walking... meaning they work your bum muscles more. Cushioned Heel Area - absorbs 36% more shock than regular footwear. Micro-wobbleboard mid section slows eversion rate and requires up to 15% more energy to walk on. Firmer Toe Area - promotes faster toe push off to maintain speed of walking. Gender Specific Design - makes it a better, more comfortable fit for the male wearer.Product Details

Amazon.com Product Description
Stay in shape and in style with the Dass from FitFlop. The thong-style upper is composed of soft leather, while its special technology makes it easier to for you to keep fit. Featuring a sole composed of three distinct densities of EVA foam that together create a slightly destabilizing effect, your muscles are engaged each time you step, increasing leg, calf and gluteal muscle activity for better tone; improving your posture; and reducing the amount of stress on your lower back and feet.
From the Manufacturer
Created in the UK, over a two-year collaboration between former Bliss spa-entrepreneur Marcia Kilgore, Biomechanist Dr. David Cook and a team of untiring footwear engineers, FitFlops were initially designed to help modern women squeeze a little more exercise into their increasingly hectic schedules."I thought, how amazing if I could invent something that would help fight the onset of cellulite while I'm walking to the office," says Kilgore. "I work. I have kids. I have a husband. And the likelihood of me seeing the inside of a gym in the next ten years is slim to none. That said, I'd obviously prefer to go with slim." Kilgore found Dr. Cook at The Centre for Human Performance at London's LSBU, where he envisioned injecting the patent-pending 'microwobbleboard' technology into the midsole of the function-forward flip flop. Slightly destabilizing, FitFlops feature three distinct densities of EVA foam in a single-fused underfoot piece, to challenge your muscles more every time you step - to deliver a workout while you walk.

comfortable sandals
By Leonard
I was shopping for sandals for wearing long term. In the past I would buy off the shelf at local retailers, and generally those were OK for short term. Now expecting to wear them every day I wanted sometihng more comfortable.
My fiance suggested fitflops so I gave them a try. Not many styles or colors for men, but the comfort is definately there.
I would strongly suggest the DASS model for anyone wanting a sandal meant for lots of walking. Read about the sizing and don't assume it will be the same as your shoe size. After reading I ordered up and they fit perfectly.

over a year of wear
By John Cooper
love these! bought them a year ago and have nothing but good things to say. I have an issue with the left foot. Shattered heel five years ago. These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn and they have held up very well until I had to have surgery and simply wore out the right while in a cast on the left.
