So...I don't know if any of you have heard of the MBT Sneakers. They are expensive.
I saw them in the Bliss catalog a few years ago...making claims about cellulite etc. I know that you can't get rid of cellulite like that so I didn't really pay them much mind, but I did do quite a bit of research on the sneakers elsewhere on other sites and read up on them and on the benefits of the sneakers in regards to posture, back pain, muscle aches, circulation etc.
Varicose veins are in my family and I fell down the stairs a few years ago and injured my back so I get a lot of back pain, also I recently went to the neurologist and found out the vein going to my head that brings spinal fluid has a clot which causes intercranial hypertension all very technical anyhow, needless to say a chicropractor wouldn't be too bad to go too to release toxins build up in the spinal column. So the more I read up on the sneakers the more they seemed beneficial to me but the price tag again is quite hefty, so I got my income tax return and just said F it and went for it.
I got them a week ago saturday. It's hard to get used to walking in them, and they kind of hurt my feet, they are very different, I walked the first day only for 7 minutes in them. The next morning I woke up and I said why does my stomach hurt, it felt like I had done situps for hours, I swear on my grandmothers grave...I kid you not. You really do use different muscle groups in the way the sneakers are constructed, I worked up to 20 mins so far. I'm hoping to wear the sneakers a full 30 mins every morning on the treadmill. I just thought I'd give a little product update on them. Since I am sure some have seen them around and thought YEAH RIGHT! it is kind of weird.

I've heard of those before....but I don't know anyone who has ever bought them.
They are supposed to be awesome - so let us know!
Well, living in Los Angeles, I have to say that a trip to NYC is definately out for the sole purpose of trying on a pair of shoes...LOL My DH would most certainly laugh at me and walk away.
Dang, cause I really wanna try them on...
Ok, watching for your updates!

Well then you are in luck because there is a bliss in LA http://www.blissworld.com/spa/location/la/
I'd call to see if they have the shoes because I'm not sure if they do at the spas.
THANK YOU! This is awesome; I'll keep you updated.

Since so many of you are interested in the results I've decided to do a bit of an experiment. I took measurements on my hips, waist, thighs this morning and I will report back here in exactly a month with the results.
Okay???

Good Luck!
