FitFlop entered the Thai market in 2009. They designed their sandals using a technology called the Microwobbleboard, which creates a natural "roll" for more support than regular sandals. FitFlop claims their sandals increase leg muscle activity. Their target audience in Thailand is women ages 18-40 seeking an active lifestyle and multi-tasking foot fashion. FitFlop has been successful in Thailand due to the country's culture of flip flop and sandal wearing, popularity with celebrities, a line designed for Thailand, and a relatively affordable price compared to other workout shoes.
