I am wearing my new Skechers Shape-ups shoes, feels like I am walking down hill.
The Dr. said I should wear them for my right foot.

Found them on sell, good thing.

I will be out and about tomorrow, lets see how my foot feels by tomorrow night.

I am also a inch taller wearing these shoes.

1. You know all the lounge cares about is how they will make your butt look
And that should include pictures.
























Hope they help your foot and so glad you got them on sale :)

4. My foot feels better now.
It is rock and roll in these shoes.

2. take your time getting used to them
when you stand up, make sure you have your balance first before walking off to do something. I like mine; they are quite comfortable.

3. It feels like walking on air.
I noticed the balance problem.

It is better to get up a little slow, not jump up.

My heel feels better now.

8. That's how they work....they're designed to kinda keep you off balance,
so that your muscles work a bit harder. I wish they also made them with the same cushion and support but without that feature.

6. I tried on a pair of Easy Spirits last fall
They were the most comfortable shoes I had ever tried on. Still have to get myself a pair.

7. Skechers and Airwalks are good stuff.
As well as some practical summer sandals I got with big straps, from zappos.com

The company is named Propet. Like Prophet without the H.

9. Turn around. See if they feel like you're walking uphill then.

If not, give them to all those grumpy old parents who walked uphill to school both ways. Tell them it's cosmic reparations.
