    Default Shape-ups....

    Are you kidding me?

    This is worse than the kid I saw in class with his white shape-ups and popped collar

    Shape-ups by SKECHERS Slip-On Fitness Shoe (Men) | Nordstrom.com




    I may have to boycott Nordstrom

    I bought a pair of the SRR's because I had lots of patients asking about them. Personally the best shoe I've ever had. Comfort is unbelievable. As for shaping up my ass I don't know.

    My Trainers sister is a Podiatrist. She said that while these "MAY" help to shape your ass, they are horrible for your feet.

    You also look like a douche while wearing them!

    I disagree...

    the cross trainers look nothing like the old man orthopedic shoes.

    As a doctor with an undergraduate degree in Human Physiology I can't for the life of me figure out how they are bad for your feet. In fact when I wear mine (tracked miles at the Columbus Zoo a couple weeks ago) I noticed more comfort with my feet and knees.

    she said it had something to do with how your feet naturally "grab" with your toes in a normal shoe, and when these "rock", your toes actually go the opposite way.

    Toe strike.


    I'll have to think about that and investigate myself.

    “Across the board, none of the toning shoes showed statistically significant increases in either exercise response or muscle activation,” the study concluded. “There is simply no evidence to support the claims that these shoes will help wearers exercise more intensely, burn more calories or improve muscle strength and tone.”

    Will Toning Shoes Really Give You A Better Body?
