Fel storlek blev sko till mamma!

Jag beställde allvädersstövlar till de små förra veckan. Tyvärr visade det sig när de kom att stövlarna i den ena kartongen, som det stod strl 29 på, innehöll stövlar i strl 26. Attans. Tillbaks med dem.

Eftersom jag hade mailkontakt med kundservice och meddelandena endast gick att läsa via en länk till deras hemsida så hittade jag av en slump, till nedsatt pris, ett par skor till mig själv. Sådana jag velat ha jättelänge!

Ett par walkingskor med (typ?) mbt-sula. Fast dessa heter Skeechers shape-ups.

Nu hoppas jag att de kommer fort så jag slipper frysa i mina ballerinaskor. Jag har förvisso ett par snygga "klackastövlar" men dem känner jag inte att jag kan gå i alltid och framför allt mår mina fötter inte alls bra när jag haft dem på mig för länge.

Dessa skor ger bra hållning, skonar knän och höfter, stärker/tränar musklerna i vader, lår, rumpa, mage och rygg. De ger bättre blodcirkulation och gör så att man bränner mer kalorier. De sägs även vara cellulitdödare och det har man ju inget emot! Det ska vara ungefär som att gå på mjuk sand. Tekniken kallas "barefoot-technology".

Så nu ska det promeneras. Jag känner verkligen hur lusten ploppar upp nu när jag dessutom är duktig och håller på att kämpa bort kilon! Varje promenad blir ett träningspass!

Mycket bra, mycket bra! :-)

Skecher's Shape Ups: Breakthrough Pricing in Barefoot Technology


If your personal budget has left you a little short, you may want to consider Skechers Shape Ups, another brand of rocker-sole shoes from Skechers USA, which offer breakthrough pricing in barefoot technology. Priced around $100, or roughly half the price of a current style MBTs (although Walker's Warehouse offers a wide range of discontinued and clearance MBT shoe styles at deep discount prices), Shape Ups live up to the popular terminology, rocker-sole shoes (meaning shoes that are deliberately unstable), by means of a different three-point technology designed into the framework of the shoe.

Shape Ups dynamic rolling bottom is designed to contribute to optimal biomechanical motion vital to a natural walking state; its kinetic wedge, a soft foam insert under the heel is designed for maximum shock absorption to protect the body while exercising core muscles; and its dual-density midsole is specially designed to support and stabilize the foot.

These three elements work together to ensure a natural walking gait – heel sinks easily to the ground as you step, you roll forward as your weight shifts to its center, and you push off for your next step with your toes. The end result is a pair of shoes that offer you a wide range of health benefits, such as improving the way you look and feel, improving your circulation, toning your muscles – from your back and abdomen to your buttocks and calves, burning more calories hence helping you lose weight, and last but not the least, a feeling of walking on clouds!

So, do Skecher's Shape Ups work as advertised? Being a relatively new player in the barefoot technology market, Shape Ups have yet to be made subjects of multiple research studies like MBT. Still, an early trial conducted by California-based Dr Steven Gautreau, which involved testing Skechers Shape Ups shoe wearers for weight loss, body composition, glutei strength, and low back endurance over six weeks, reveals promising results similar to MBT.

The participants wore Shape Ups shoes during their normal daily activities and typical walking program, while also maintaining their usual diet and exercise strategies. The participants’ assessment at the end of the trial indicated an average weight loss of 3.25 pounds, reduction of body fat by 1.125 percent, and an average improvement of glutei strength and low back endurance by 41 and 37 percent respectively.

Explaining these positive results as emanating from Shape-ups’ three-point revolutionary technology that targets and conditions the postural and stability of muscles of the hips and lower back, Dr Gautreau expressed the opinion that prolonged regular use of Shape Ups would increase low back endurance and gluteal strength even more.

Evidently, like MBT shoes, Shape Ups promise you the experience and all the benefits that accompany regular walking on a simulated natural surface irrespective of where you actually walk.

Wearing barefoot technology footwear works your body as nature intended while standing, walking or during gentle running. It improves posture, tones legs, strengthens the stomach, tightens buttocks muscles and significantly reduces cellulite, while improving your overall health and well being – making you look good and feel better 24/7.

When you wear MBT shoes and Shape Ups, you will never have to feel guilty about not making it to the gym, because you will be getting a workout every time you walk. So, try on a pair today and start walking your way to better health.
