The kinetic wedge insert and the rolling bottom in the Skecher Shape-Ups simulate walking on sand or plush carpet in bare feet. It is this movement that tones and strengthens muscles, reduces the impact on knees and increases blood flow. When you wear these shoes as you do your shopping or other errands or take a nice long walk as part of your fitness program, you will notice improved posture and a feeling of strength. Soon you will have firmer calves and thighs. You may also experience a weight loss because walking in the Shape-Ups will burn more calories. How does this actually work? The design of the shoes retrains the way you walk. Your new "walk" gives you a definite edge with your fitness goals. During the initial retraining process, it is recommended that you begin slowly and gradually build up the amount of time you wear the Shape-Ups. This is true with any new exercise routine; overdoing it can be detrimental to your progress. Overuse of muscles can result in pain and frustration. It is also important that you watch the DVD that is included with the shoes. The DVD provides an exercise guide and teaches you how to use the shoes for optimum results. Shape-Ups are not the typical "workout shoes"; they have a unique design that requires some special instruction to achieve the special results.
It is also important to note that the Skecher Shape-Ups are not intended for running. If you are a runner, you need good running shoes. The Shape-Ups are designed for walking. Use these shoes as directed in the DVD and you will happily see results.
7. Nike Cortez
Introduced in 1972 as an innovative running shoe.The Nike Cortez is arguably one of the most recognized shoes Nike has ever made. It was created in 1972 by legendary designer Bill Bowerman, when he grafted a pair of flip-flops onto a pair of training shoes, creating a hybrid design that would change the world of running forever. It's been updated, remixed and redesigned numerous times since then, including the newest version that features Nike's latest technology: Flywire. However, nothing will ever top the original - it's a style that truly defines "longevity."
8. Nike Air Force 1
Introduced in 1982 as a premiere basketball shoe - the first to use a full-length Air-Sole?.Although the first intended purpose for the Nike Air Force 1 was basketball, sneakerheads everywhere seek the AF1 as a style that's strictly for show. AF1s are prized possessions, and owning it in every color combination isn't unusual for collectors. Black-on-black and white-on-white are the two most popular colors of the Air Force 1, though it's been issued in thousands of different colorways over time. Some of the most highly coveted versions are the unique artist collaborations, limited-edition models and athlete-specific styles that are produced in small quantities - and as a result, the hardest to come by. The AF1 can be summed up by saying: it's been there, done that, and will be around to see it all in the future.
