These shoes
Shape-Ups. Reetones. MBTs. FitFlops. PowerWalk.
Suddenly the world is full of clunky looking shoes that promise to tone your calves, shape your thighs and firm your butt.
Increase muscle activity. Feel the burn. Yada yada yada. The list of benefits goes on and on.
There was no way these shoes would turn my less than shapely legs into catwalk material but I had hoped that they would at least give the superior cushioning and comfort that the ads and the raving reviews promised.
So far, the only thing my PowerWalk shoes have brought me is painful arches. These shoes felt fine when I tried them in store but the first time I wore them they dug into my foot something fierce. I'm not flatfooted and they fit in every other way so I can't figure out why they pain me so.
Looks like I'm on the market for new shoes again.
