Shape Ups

Since nobody posted a serious response about the shoes, I will.

Shape Ups are only one of the so-called fitness shoes on the market. Champion makes one too but I forget what they call it.

I wear the MBTs - Masai Barefoot Technology shoes. They're the real deal, at least for me.

I don't know if the Skechers claims are true, but they're also a knockoff of MBTs anyway. The Champion shoes suck.

I've been wearing my MBTs for almost 5 years straight, and I think they're amazing. Mine are also combined with orthotics. I used to think I had a lower back problem; I don't. I just have one shorter leg and with orthotics in my shoes my back never hurts at all anymore, unless I'm not wearing my shoes. Your back muscles adjust to the different posture these shoes create, and switching shoes will make your back hurt again.

Have they made me skinnier or trimmer, or shaped my butt in the past 5 years? I don't know. It wasn't possible to clone myself as a control, with one of us wearing the shoes for 5 years and one of us not.

Post a before and after pick and we'll be the judge of that.

Thanks for the post but this thread is about ridiculous looking things that must go. jk
 
A friend of mine took all her sons pogs and made them into accessories for his dorm room - she covered a tissue box with 'em, and a waste basket, picture frames etc etc etc. He was embarrassed by it all, and she was hurt that he didn't like it. She'd been making it in secret and surprised him with it when they moved him in. It probably wasn't a very pretty scene.

LOL, I'd forgotten all about this - it was about 5 years ago. He'd probably think it was really cool now.

She'd also made him a quilt out of his outgrown t-shirts. I think he liked that a little more, but I don't remember.
 
I'm trying to get back into shape (lost 23 pounds so far) but my working out has been very limited over the last month because of Runner's Knee. Might these Shape-Ups help?
