Today the latest Twilight movie opens yet it was apparently way better to share the news that my butt is still out of shape. Thanks USA Today! Cause today wasn't weird enough. I needed my butt to be the cover story. The least you could have done is linked to me since you found me through my review of Skechers Toning Shoes. Guess I won't hold out any hope that they will be sponsoring my next blog conference. Perhaps I should contact Nike now.For those of you who missed my butts 15 minutes of fame:Barb of Denver says she considers her toning shoes a "cute gimmick."Her Shape-ups help to strengthen her calf muscles, she says, but did nothing to tone her butt and thighs. Even though they are her "most comfortable pair of shoes," she says she regrets spending $120 on them.As for Skechers trying to persuade men to buy them, well, good luck with that."My husband would not be caught dead in these things," Barb says.In other weirdness Carter had a minor surgical procedure today.

If I wear them to the mall or Costco I do notice my calves are a little sore the next day which tells me they are doing something. I never felt any difference in my thighs, butt or abs as the ads claim. And I haven't lost any weight simply by wearing them and walking around normally.They ARE super comfy. Once you get used to them it feels like walking on air. They were a little weird to get used to. I kept feeling like I was going to roll an ankle but I never did.I did learn not to wear them on a treadmill. Just too fast to get the kind of step needed in for them. Also, they are not the greatest in snow or icy conditions (duh, I know, but I live in Denver so you never know what the day may bring) They are cute and stylish (at least in my ...
