Yet another sporty shoe blog

OK you will have to forgive me, but this is yet another sporty/shoe post! But dayum, check these bad girls out! My best friend Sarah spotted these the other day and was obsessed with showing them to me, but we were having trouble tracking them down again (she saw them in one Athletes Foot store but not all of them stock the same stuff, as it turns out). And then when we were least expecting them, BAM we found ‘em! The photos don’t even convey their awesomeness properly, because they are BANGIN’ beyond belief and even brighter than how they look here. Also the laces are black and multi-colour sparkles! YES YOU HEARD ME RIGHT!

So yeah, I bought them since I desperately needed new runners anyway (my cheapo Puma’s were giving me nasty foot cramps and were just bollocks from the get-go, I don’t know why I put up with them for so friggen long). The poor guy serving me probably thought I was mad, the way I kept gushing over them and also singing about how awesome they were as I strutted around the shop. Right now, I just keep staring at them, wishing it wasn’t 1am on a Saturday night so I could go use them for what they were made for. I am so excited about going to gym on Monday afternoon, you can’t even IMAGINE it!

You can check out more photos (and buy ‘em too if you’re so inclined) here. They also have a purple version, but they’re for guys. I want them but I have small feet for being such a tall girl so they won’t fit me. WOE!

As we already know I’m a bit of a fitness junkie. As such I finally decided it was time to buy some new sneakers as my Puma’s were kind of cheap and I was starting to get sore shins and calves because they weren’t supporting me properly anymore. I’ve been eyeing off those Sketchers Shape-Up‘s that people are always talking about but I was a bit skeptical about them because Sketchers have always seemed like a casual shoe as opposed to an actual proper exercise shoe. Theta and they they cost $200!

So today I was browsing through Rebel Sport and found Reebok have their own version called Easytone. As they were only $180, and as Reebok are definitely known for being good sport shoes, plus they didn’t look quite as dicky as the Sketchers, I got ‘em! I also like their website and how they give you workouts that work best with the shoes (for free). You can even design your won Easytone’s! That is so neat!

They’re designed to cause micro-instability which basically means your leg and butt muscles work harder as you walk and move, because there’s these raised lumps on the soles that make balance just a little harder than with normal shoes. So I am going to test them out at gym and when walking and doing weights and see if I notice anything in the butt/leg region. Even if they don’t work (though I’m sure they will) they’re cool-looking shoes and weren’t too expensive so at least now my damn shins won’t hurt so much after hardcore workouts! Win’s all round!

I will keep ya’ll updated on the results!
