Would these be good for toning my glutes and getting a more functional core?
HAHAHAHA I kid, I kid. Serious question though… is Joe Montana really that strapped for cash?

I doubt he is strapped for cash, but if you were given a good amount of money to be a spokeman’s for their shoe, wouldn’t you do it?
I know a few women who have these shoes and they like what they do for them.
Have you ever worn them before? They are seriously the best thing to hit the fitness industry. I walked 10 feet in them and got more sore than I’ve ever gotten from doing ‘skwats’. This is the future of strength training. I suggest you all buy a pair
They look sooo fucking stupid.
I know a few women who claim to have lost pounds, inches from wearing them and walking in them. My question is though, is walking in that shoe making you lose weight or is getting off your ass and moving for the first time in years to justify the price of your shoe making you lose weight?

Exactly.
Would they have lost the same amount doing the same thing barefooted? Good chance yes.
Not nearly as cool as this:

To be fair they seem to actually promote some form of exercise.
They seem even worse anatomically than walking in regular sneakers. Although I haven’t taken any bio mechanics or physics classes yet, so I’ll get back on that.
All they do is trick people into using the proper musculature to start, stop, and maintain movement. They could do the same thing with bare feet or normal shoes, but thinking and self awareness is too much like work. :-/
reebok has they’re version as well… at least theirs look like normal shoes
I remember when I was deployed to Kosovo, all the women there wore heels all the time and their asses were absolutely amazing (just not their teeth). If we can’t get women to wear heels full time, then I say we all need to fully support foot wear that gives women a nice ass.

Exactly! Anyone who is seeing any kind of ‘results’ from a stupid shoe would have seen the same ‘results’ if they simply started to walk with an anatomically correct weight distribution, movement pattern, etc. The problem with shoes like these is that it will actually make movement patterns worse when you take the shoe off.
Hey… if it gets people off their asses and at least walking, I guess they’re worth tolerating.
I date a chick who swears by them. She spends all day on her feet (hair stylist), and used to constantly complain that her back hurt. She got the shoes, and said the helped tremendously. Placebo effect? Possibly. Worth the $120 to not hear her complain? DEFINITELY!!! LOL
I had one girl in class who was pregnant and swore by these as the only way she could get through her shifts at work. She was a stocker.
There’s a skinny fat dude I know at work named Walter who wears them, yeah all it helped him achieve is well make his gayness more obvious. They look goofy as hell to me, if I see any guy wearing one automatic revoking of man card.
There’s a fat chick at work that rocks these. She’s still fat and now she looks like she has a foot condition … I predict she’ll own 37 cats in the future
