STRANGE running shoes

Not very traditional but I like the idea a lot. I love running barefoot or sockfoot, shoes and I do not always see eye to eye on things.

Now flip flops on the other hand. Love love love!

Something about large pieces of molded plastic/rubber wrapped around my feet is a bit of a turnoff.

As I was complaining to my good friend about my blisters and why oh why can't I just run barefoot, she mentioned these. I'm in love!

I have a problem with stuff touching my toes...no sandals with the toe thingy, no pedicures, no foot massage for me.

Embrace what works for you!

How did I forget that? I just put my order in and should have them next week :o)

How are you liking your Shape Ups? My friend has them and LOVES them! I tried them on but felt like I was going to fall backwards. That must be the posture improving quality about them - balance required - something I have zero of, ha ha!

Still love the Shape Ups. It took me about a week of wearing them for an hour or so a day to get used to them. Now I am more comfortable wearing them than any other shoes! And my posture and balance have definitely improved.
