A New Workout Shoe?

The boy and I were shopping one day, not too long ago.

Shopping with your teenage son is an experience. But this is a fitness post so any thoughts I may have on that  will have to wait for another day.

I wore my everyday shoes. The shoes that I wear everyday to walk the dog.

They were extremely old and embarrassing. Since almost every pair of pants I have needs to be hemmed, (I’m 5 foot something) I have to wait until they get back from the dry cleaners to wear them. I was in a hurry to wear this pair so I just cut them. I thought perhaps the dangly threads would be cool but they just look like I cut my jeans.

While at the Skeckers store (not because they owe me anything but because I like their shoes,) I saw this display.

It was a shoe that rocked back and forth. You would then shape your calves and thighs as you walked. I think.

As someone who tries a new method of fitness every other week (just to see if it works), I have to say I was intrigued, though I wasn’t quite ready to buy these.

Does anyone out there have a pair? Do they reall shape your legs? It looks like you would need really good balance to wear them.

And I left the store with these Skeckers. They are super comfortable. And they are brown…because things that are on the ground at the farm are brown.
