Scechers shape up shoes

I've bought skechers 1 time, terrible shoe, cheap made..... my wife bought the new "shape-up shoe" has been trying to get me to try them"no, i;d have to give up my man card" well I had a New balance 993 on right foot and Skecher on left, hmmm, ... bought the Sketcher( this 1 u couldn't tell the sole was very thick because of color) wore them 2 days on concrete then switched to another shoe, wow my feet were hurting, don't know if this will be same in 3 months but I may have to tell wife she was right... woman are buying these shoes but men aren't, the #'s are staggering....

Joe Montana should walk himself right out of the Hall of Fame for doing that shape ups commercial.

yea, probably but I didn't buy them for toning muscles or "capris"LOL, I bought them to keep my feet from hurting( I stand a lot on concrete)if they do that, even a little i'm for it, if my man card suffers, so be it, I'll drink German beer tonight and smoke a good cigar , all will be put back in order>> Joe Montana is a "real" man doesn't need the money and doesn't care what people think( I did hate him when he played against Dallas.( man could he throw a ball)

Those shoes remind me of that kid in the elementary school class with the one normal shoe and the other shoe had the sole that was doubled down.

Those are like the Masai Barefoot Technology ones. Rocker bottom, sort of thick in the middle, so it is high. Going in a straight line would be okay, but no lateral stability.

My guess on the gender thing, women liking them more than men, would be that a tight achilles tendon would be less of a problem, women wear high heels more, hence tend to have the tight Achilles.

Enzo, it is not normal for your feet to hurt, even if you had problems as a juvenile. You have a PM

I've never seen the Skechers commercial, but as far as I can tell the Reebok is a much better shoe.

Are 'toning shoes' a gimmick?
