Health Education: shoes for walking

<br /><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">Go right ahead and click on <a href="http://yourhealtheducator.blogspot.com/2010/08/greenway-observations.html">this link</a> and read the last paragraph.  Remember those SHOES - well I bought a pair - sort of.  I did not buy the tennis shoes that are supposed to remove cellulite from your thighs, but a style of the shape ups that are called sleek fit.</span><br /><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">It all started with a conversation....</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiInEZaAzeZmz2xCmZNauDnxJhd6mDa4k-X6QP8W8E4Dpl0ffX8SLjX6gF7Xc6cPe0KWHfbOsZrG4xs-rs4MJginQpoTVydMOV91B3wRt95mlVBL7yKIZ3yklPa7itWDIZJFIl2mIm5srPF/s1600/sandal.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiInEZaAzeZmz2xCmZNauDnxJhd6mDa4k-X6QP8W8E4Dpl0ffX8SLjX6gF7Xc6cPe0KWHfbOsZrG4xs-rs4MJginQpoTVydMOV91B3wRt95mlVBL7yKIZ3yklPa7itWDIZJFIl2mIm5srPF/s1600/sandal.JPG" /></a></div><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">I was telling a friend about my Skecher’s sandal/shoes that I bought to wear with dresses.  They are attractive and low or no heeled, but not completely flat.  They have a nice sole.  However, they are NOT comfortable after about five minutes walking on streets and sidewalks and THAT was the whole point.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">In telling my friend about this, I mentioned a pair of sandal shoes that the lead character of The Closer wore to a crime scene.  SHE (the police detective) always wears pumps, except at least that one time when she changed into more practical shoes.  I do not own pumps.  Anyway, I described the shoes and my friend thought they were Alegrias and sent me off to the Alegria store in Winston Salem. </span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6ku1Tr_aPlf27N1ps0mmVEw3B6B-n6oWH6vuJY14zJvAFq-iqCuMUbgW2-uyTFo_FY5MeTi4FyJ_0FY-t8C2_j7gxSIeotn2LrU5ph4AVQH4qzwAzHAq7uco34AZPUWaBwEPeNVK_vaZB/s1600/alegria.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6ku1Tr_aPlf27N1ps0mmVEw3B6B-n6oWH6vuJY14zJvAFq-iqCuMUbgW2-uyTFo_FY5MeTi4FyJ_0FY-t8C2_j7gxSIeotn2LrU5ph4AVQH4qzwAzHAq7uco34AZPUWaBwEPeNVK_vaZB/s1600/alegria.JPG" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> The shoes, lowest price $99.99, are comfortable and high quality, but they run big.  The ones that I liked the most did not fit.  Either way, my friend had an online discount code so I went home to try my luck searching for them on line.</span><br /><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">Stubborn me still thought that the shoes Brenda wore were not Alegria.  IN fact - they WERE those Skecher shape ups. More searching - (looking for discounts) and I found a pair, only one pair in my size - black.  They were 59$, free shipping.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">So now they are here and they ARE super cushiony.  I wore them around the house - so far.  Many people do not like them.  I am hoping they will be cute with my dressy "teaching" clothes.  If it weren't for teaching I would be wearing my old running shoes to walk across campus (as I do on most days). </span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyExa44SPt6ai5J6P2Tn4RNLw1Wl-R1NfDel6cqz-DE4RNuvDk9KiQ69xHePnp2DIkplAxvHCHEknw0NsDowSPnY24SPOD0UgpBa0XCiMmmRPmOGygUD65ZHCX9a0YBWslesA9GKfJuxxa/s1600/sleek+fit.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyExa44SPt6ai5J6P2Tn4RNLw1Wl-R1NfDel6cqz-DE4RNuvDk9KiQ69xHePnp2DIkplAxvHCHEknw0NsDowSPnY24SPOD0UgpBa0XCiMmmRPmOGygUD65ZHCX9a0YBWslesA9GKfJuxxa/s1600/sleek+fit.JPG" /></a></div><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">But here is the bigger thing.  Those crazy Skecher people give you a DVD with the shoes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The DVD is a ‘shape up’ shoe workout and it is ridiculous - just like I said in that blog post I sent you to - crazy - unfounded - madness.  Just walk already.</span><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div>
