Lately I have been noticing that I haven’t been feeling quite up to par. I am achy, more tired and slouch when I sit. Friends of mine noticed that I have been wearing the same tired shoes to work for, well, about four years now. I don’t really have any attachment to them, but I spent a bundle on them when I bought them because they were supposed to have top-of-the-line cushion and be very supportive for people who spend a lot of time on their feet. They were supportive…for about six months. Then the shoes literally started to fall apart—and now, they are grubby, uncomfortable and just plain ugly. I have been unsure about what kind of new shoes to get because of my last experience so I have just put off getting new ones.

 

My friends are convinced that the shoes they have are not only comfortable, but help to tone their legs and muscles as well. I just wasn’t sure, so my friend encouraged me to wear her Skechers Shape Ups shoes for one day. Immediately, I noticed a change in the way I was walking. These shoes were forcing me to walk toe to heel, which made me stand a little straighter. By the end of the day—not only was the achiness that I typically feel not present, but my posture had improved and so did my spirit. These shoes are definitely shoes that inspire. I went to the store the next morning and purchased a trendy pair for under $60! I couldn’t believe it!

The Power of Shoes

 

The power of shoes oftentimes goes unnoticed by many people and results in injuries. For those people that are on their feet often, like to exercise, or just plain want to feel better… they need to change their standard footwear. Good shoes will help you to:

 

·         Get rid of the aches and pains.  We often attribute pain to other things, thinking it couldn’t stem from our shoes, but the reality is that our shoes—and feet—affect the health of our whole body.

 

·         Be comfortable.  It is hard to wear anything for extended periods of time that isn’t comfortable so why should your shoes be any different? Choosing shoes with the right amount of support for your feet will help your whole quality of life.

 

·         Get toned and look stylish doing it. The great thing about Skechers Shape Ups is that they come in a bunch of different styles and types of shoes, but they also tone your body just by wearing them. It is a win-win situation!

 

The health of your feet is important to your whole body. Live a more comfortable life by simply choosing shoes that are appropriate for what you are doing and your specific feet.
