Check out these new Avia shoes similiar to Shapeups

http://www.avia.com/avimotion/


I like my Skechers Shapeups and these look comparable. I see my local Kohls carry them, may have to go and check them out in person!

Very much like my MBTs, which I love, but much more reasonable. I feel a shopping spree coming on.......

So do these shoes actually work, or is it just a gimmick?

I don't really know about my MBTs from a tush/toning perspective, but they have really helped alleviate hip and knee pain.

These look great; thanks for the link Denise. I'll have to check out Kohl's . The narrator in the video sounded like Petra Kolber!

Hee hee! We're hopeless vidiots when we can even recognize a faceless voice, aren't we? I ordered last night from www.famousfootwear.com . They have buy 1 get 2nd pair for 50% off. I'm taking time off from running for 2 months and will be doing a lot of walking, so I think these will be great. I don't know about all the wild claims out there for engineered footwear, but I do know that I started wearing FitFlops and nothing but as soon as I came home form work each day. Almost immediately, my back pain disappeared completely, and my knees started feeling much better.

Where can you get the Sketchers Shape Ups? I have been meaning to get a pair for awhile due to hip and knee pain. Don't need the butt toning benefits, although that would be a plus.
