God’s Gift to Ailing Feet: The Fold-Up Ballet Flat

It’s Friday night and you’re heading out on the town with your friends. You’ve got on your cutest outfit and a killer pair of heels – you’re all set for a night of serious bar hopping.

Unfortunately, when you’re getting ready to leave the second bar you realize that you no longer have the ability to walk. Your balance is already a little thrown off by the amount of heavy drinking you’ve been doing, and now you have to walk in 6-inch stilettos? No thanks. That stool you’re perched on will be just fine for the rest of the night, thankyouverymuch.

You continue ordering drinks until the wee hours when you’re friends are finally ready to head home. You carefully step onto the sidewalk and within 5 minutes decide there is NO way you are walking home in those shoes. Fueled by all the alcohol you have consumed, you decide that you’re going to take off your shoes and walk home barefoot through the city. Classy.

Does this sound like a typical night to you? Are you sick of waking up in the morning with black feet/someone else’s chewed up gum between your toes? (True story…) Perhaps you should invest in a pair of Fit In Clouds fold-up flats.

The “Clouds” are portable flats that fold up and fit inside your purse. Since they are only slightly larger than an iPhone, these ballet flats will even fit in a clutch. Unlike flip flops, these shoes are actually cute. Seriously, they look like real flats. And the best part is, they only cost $18.95! So bring them out next time you plan on wearing those sky high heels, and the next morning you’ll wake up blister-free (or, you know, you won’t have to walk-of-shame it home in a pair of super obvious heels).

Fit In Clouds flats come in black, gold, and metallic pink. You can buy them online at fitinclouds.com.
To the women who created these: we salute you! There’s got to be a Nobel Prize for this, right?

That is the best idea ever. I can think of using them while I walk to work in the morning. Surely I am not the only woman who has left the house for work in the morning walked to work in their cute shoes and in that time acquired so many blisters they can barely walk at work, and the best part, you have to spend the rest of the day on your feet then make that walk home again. I would love to wear those to work, so much lighter and easier than the other shoes I have carried with me to work.

I ordered these Fit in Clouds shoes a while ago and I must say, they are the most comfortable flats that I own! Great even for wearing around the house. A COMPLETE blessing when I leave the bar at 2am!! Awesome deal for under $20!

I am growing another cool product in my dorm I wanted to share.
It’s called the TickleMe Plant! The TickleMe Plant is the REAL Plant that MOVES when you Tickle IT! The leaves instantly fold and even the branches droop when Tickled! My TickleMe Plant actually seems to crave affection (unlike my BF) It also opens up in the morning and closes its leaves at night when I go to bed. You have to see the video. This is no joke. It sure beats having a beta or gold fish. I love my TickleMe Plant! I found the Greenhouse to grow it indoors yearround at http://www.ticklemeplant.com

If anyone wants a 10% discount, use code “ILOVECLOUDS” at checkout!

That is great.. but there is a better solution called Footzyrolls, which looks like a real shoe and has a real skid proof sole that you can roll up or fold up. The shoes also come with a shoe bag for your heels and a pouch for the footzyrolls. Check it out at http://www.footzyrolls.com

I ordered mine about a week ago and still haven’t received them. They said it takes 1-3 days to be shipped, but does anyone know the real amount of time?

The footzyroll shoes that I bought on http://www.footzyrolls.com were totally true to size and they actually stretch to fit your foot perfectly (its sooo cool). I was nervous about the size too but then I just went with my normal size and they totally FIT and are beyond comfortable!!!!

Just to let everyone know, these flats STINK when you first get them in the mail. I got mine a week ago and they still smell like rubber tires, and made everything in my pocketbook smell the same. How did everyone else get the stink out?

Emily, I got a bunch of the fit in clouds in white for my bridesmaid, and they were completely fine. They all loved it, and some even ordered the black from the website later on. Under $20 including shipping is fantastic! The sizing worked out fine too, since they have an elastic on the top part. What a great idea, why didnt I think of it before!!
