A comparison of plantar pressures in a standard flip-flop and a FitFlop using bespoke pressure insoles (2013)
Journal Article
Price, C., Graham-Smith, P., & Jones, R. (2013). A comparison of plantar pressures in a standard flip-flop and a FitFlop using bespoke pressure insoles. Footwear Science, 5(2), 111-119. https://doi.org/10.1080/19424280.2013.790486

Purpose: The study was undertaken to quantify plantar pressures in a Havaiana flip-flop compared to a FitFlop. The FitFlop is a flip-flop designed to induce instability in the wearer during midstance as it incorporates a multi-density midsole in the...

The effect of unstable sandals on instability in gait in healthy female subjects (2013)
Journal Article
Price, C., Smith, L., Graham-Smith, P., & Jones, R. (2013). The effect of unstable sandals on instability in gait in healthy female subjects. Gait & Posture, 38(3), 410-415. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2013.01.003

Unstable footwear generally lacks thorough peer-review published research to support concepts and marketing claims. The purpose of this study was to investigate the instability induced by four (FitFlop, Masai Barefoot Technology, Reebok Easy-Tone and...

No differences in kinetics between the squat jump, push press and mid-thigh power clean (2013)
Journal Article
Comfort, P., Mather, D., & Graham-Smith, P. (2013). No differences in kinetics between the squat jump, push press and mid-thigh power clean. Journal of Athletic Enhancement, 2(6), https://doi.org/10.4172/2324-9080.1000132

The aim of this investigation was to determine the differences in kinetic data during the mid-thigh power clean, squat jump and push press. Trained individuals (n=11; age 23 ± 3.5 yrs; height 176.5 ± 5.56 cm; body mass 85.78 ± 14.29 kg) performed 1 s...
