Yes, however its supposed to replicate walking in sand barefoot, if you've ever done that you know how hard it is.I was talking to a coworker about the coming trip and they suggested we get new shoes, specifically Skechers’ Shape-Ups. I see no point in this, isnt it just a get slim fad quick gimmick kinda shoe?
That's roughly what I would have guessed. Good to get a professional opinion on the matter.I asked my chiropractor about them. He said they are either a chiropractor's dream or nightmare depending on that person's ethics. The calves, ankles, etc are mostly a nonissue but it's a horrible idea for the spine and knees.
Exactly...We've been walking all our lives, now if I want to go into the woods I need to buy a pair of shoes that throw me off balance to prepare me for it, lets get real here. What better way to train than to get out there and do it, just be smart about it and don't try to tackle it all the first day.Speaking as someone who is no stranger to weight rooms and running tracks, my observation would be that training tools are for training, not for the actual athletic endeavor.
