The only benefit of these shoes is that they only "work" when you walk in them (not that they actually work).  Therefore, it's a good thing if they get otherwise sedentary people to walk more.

But yeah, I thought that commercial crossed a line.


I agree.

Didn't see the commercial.

Otherwise, 90% of the time, the only people I see wearing these shoes are middle-aged obese people. They don't seem to be working.

briderdt - 2011-02-07 12:11 PM OMG... don't get me started.

Too late.

These things are not much more than casts for your feet, and will do more to weaken them than any "toning". Maybe the podiatry industry is behind it...


I've been saying that about flip-flops for years.

Of course shape ups don't replace a trainer.

But it's a commercial, and it got your attention...

I'm guessing MUCH of the things said in commercials are tongue and cheek. 

I don't think many people lick the dorito dust off of other people's fingers either (in case we want to start a thread about the reality of that one as well).
