Flossy Shoes


I don’t usually do fashion posts, in fact I’ve never written one before, but over the last few weeks I’ve fallen in love with this particular pair of shoes and had to tell you about them! Flossy is a shoe brand which was first established 25 years ago in Spain, originally worn by sailors and street performers in Barcelona.  Over the last few years the Flossy brand has spread all over the world and is now available throughout Europe, America, Canada, Australia and many more locations. 

I had never heard of Flossy shoes before until I recently went on holiday to Majorca, a Spanish Balearic island. I spotted them in quite a few shops in the town I was staying and the capital city of Palma but, for some unknown reason, I never went in to see what they were like! On a shopping trip recently I spotted Flossy in Office! Flossy have a range of shoes, including plimsoles, sandals and espadrilles. I decided to pick up the Office exclusive Flossy Canvas plimsoles which were £24.99, but the plain block colours are £19.99. 


These are possibly THE most comfortable shoes in the world! Whenever I buy new shoes I always worry about whether they are going to rub, hurt my feet and give me disgusting blisters. With Flossy’s this wasn’t the case AT ALL. I wore these for an 8 hour wander around London and didn’t have any problems what so ever! In fact, I felt like I was wearing slippers all day as they are soft, flexible and padded. 

Flossy’s are available from a variety of retailers in the UK, however, I have just ordered some more from the official UK Flossy website (www.flossyplimsolls.co.uk). On here they have the full range of shoes, a free 48 hours courier service on weekdays in the UK and at the moment they have a special offer of buy 3 pairs get the 4th free, so my mum and I just ordered ourselves 2 pairs each! ;) This is a brand I will be keeping my eye on from now on as they are amazing shoes for such an affordable price!
