I think you may have heard me mention once or twice how much I love Skechers shoes. Way back when I was carrying babies (on the inside that is) I started with foot problems and a good friend recommended me to try Skechers because they had helped her feet. So I bought my first pair of Skecher slip on running shoes and to my amazement my feet were practically cured over night.
Obviously like all good things we don’t always stick with it for whatever reason. Perhaps I was lulled by my non sore feet into thinking I could wear any old piece of cardboard that passes for footwear. Fast forward three babies later and I now have flat feet and some weird sort of metatarsal problem which makes running around barefoot (my favourite footwear) impossible. I have learned that not all Skecher shoes provide the same comfort and support that my original runners did so it is important for me to try them out first. After all, no matter what the line shoes are created for different purposes.
I have been wearing my current Skechers for the past two years. They are just now beginning to lose their support and my feet are beginning to hurt again so I was excited when I was given the opportunity to try out Skechers new “GOwalk” line. There are several colours to choose from and I chose Aqua.
This is what Skechers has to say about their shoes.
SKECHERS GOwalk elevates the natural walking experience, allowing you to interact with and respond to practically any surface, while offering the additional benefit of real world protection.I have to admit I have no idea what the dealio is with sensors that send sensory feedback to the brain and what that all means. What I do know is that when I first put these shoes on it felt like I had just stepped onto soft pillows. These shoes work. They are so comfortable and truly do feel like barefoot walking. All the support I need is provided without orthotics. In fact, I have dubbed these as my new inside shoes and am planning on buying another pair for outside. The more I wear these in the house the more I wish I had them to wear outside. To top it off they are super cute, not clunky at all and look like those cute shoes your friends without the foot problems wear. These shoes retail at $59.00 and so is pretty affordable at that price.
