I've been a fan of Skechers shoes for years and years but the sketchers
I picked up last week was the first time I purchased Skechers in a
fitness capacity. I bought them because of the springiness of the sole
after hurting my knee (and the purple cuteness was irresistible.) I was
under no illusion that these types of walking shoes actually " aid
weight loss or tone and shape the butt" as they claim.
Springy, for sure, but having experienced them for myself I'm not surprised about the danger warnings these
types of shoes have. They caused pain in my hips and ankles and my
knees hurt worse when I took them off. And the plantar fasciitis I have
had in my left foot for 20 years (and only acts up on a really long
hike) was burning like hell before I even got off the driveway. I only
wore them twice, I shudder to think the damage that could have been done
if I kept wearing them. They have gone back to the shop!
I'm going to have to stick to New Balance for my choice walking/workout
shoes. They haven't failed me yet. Sorry Skechers, I'll wear you for
fashion but for fitness it's got to be New Balance all the way.
