Fish Flops {Review}

I was given Fish Flops as compensation for an honest review.

A few weeks ago, I was contacted and offered to review the brand FishFlops sandals.  

I was surprised to open the package and find TWO great pairs included.  I must admit, I love shoes and when it comes to flip flops, I'm all in.  So this was music to my ears! 

Here is a shot of my shoes I received. 

Now you can see why I was so excited, right? Totally cute shoes.  And to make this post even better, I have an opportunity who those of you interested to meet with Madison Robinson.  

·         Madison is an uncharacteristic entrepreneur, who founded FishFlops at just 8 years old. The sandals are inspired by sea creatures and select styles feature embedded LED lights that light up when worn. Quickly finding a home in the marketplace, the company has rocketed to success. Through her can-do attitude and entrepreneurial successes at a very young age, Madison has become a source of inspiration for many kids and adults alike.

·         As Madison was preparing to launch her latest line, she was thrust into a very adult situation when her best friend Shayli (age 16) was diagnosed with having a 3 cm hole in her heart. It was thankfully caught through a special heart health screening program at Shayli’s school, and she underwent life-saving open heart surgery just last month. That is why Madison’s visit to the Flip Flop Shops in Biloxi is an extra special one – heart health and heart disease is a cause near and dear to both Madison and Flip Flop Shops. Flip Flop Shops co-founder, Brian Curin, himself underwent emergency open heart surgery two years ago at age 38, and the company has since had a keen focus on raising funds and awareness for heart disease and heart healthy living.

Now, isn't she someone you would love to meet? Well, guess what?  You can!
