Recommended Posts

So I just wanted to share something real quick with fellow walkers.

A majority of my exercise is "power walking" 4-6 times a week for a lil over an hour. I started off at 30-40 mins and a few weeks ago pushed myself to walk longer. After I walked an hour and 15 mins one night my legs were sooo sore(in a good way) but my sneakers were not in the best shape anymore either. So I could really feel the shock in my knees. So the next day I set out to get some good walking shoes. Naturally..I steered towards the big fad of shapeups by skechers. I was sooo excited for these. Well..that was short lived. I have a high arch so I wasn't walking in them right and I almost fell, and I stand normally leaning a smidge to the outsides of my soles. So apparently shape ups are NOT for everyone. What a disappointment. So I found a another pair instead to recommend..they're the reebok tone ups. They don't have the big platform. Just padding on the ball and heel..looks a lil more fashionable. Anyone looking for a good pair of sneakers..I SWEAR by these..they're like walking on air..I find myself walking faster and longer anywhere I go!! Wearing them right now at work and I've never moved this fast with ease lol..check em out

I've read where all of those shoes that claim to tone up something are a rip-off. I suggest spending the money at a gym.

Well I was actually recommending them in terms of if ur looking for a comfortable shoe. I didn't buy them for the "tone up" solicitation they provided..I bought them because I felt I could move longer and faster in them without feeling the shock. And they give me motivation to want to work out. I actually do spend money on a gym and go there 5 times a week on top of walking also..and I wear em at the gym too..so I'm recommending them for all around comfort not just the only form of exercise to "tone"..toning isn't even my top priority just yet..its dropping lbs (if only they made a lb dropping shoe lol). Btw they're improving my posture too..so that parts not a rip off

They may not perform magic in terms of their advertised claims, but I agree, they are very comfortable shoes. I have the New Balance version, and love them.
