Especially after seeing their commercial during the superbowl...and they just launched MyShapeUps.com - I know Shape-ups aren't going away any time soon.<br /><br />Great story about your wife btw.<br /><br />regards,<br /><br />~<br /><br />P.S. - they have done a handful of testing (although paid for by them) and all for the most part have been successful. The real measure of success is from the thousands of happy wearers / testimonials online. There's nothing better then word of mouth. ;)Ashley Mc.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10628759.post-34881065884709250402010-02-01T14:21:45.936-06:002010-02-01T14:21:45.936-06:00Oh, how true.

I can't tell ou how many times I've found a body lotion in a scent that doesn't send my allergies into a torrent...and then they discontinue it.<br /><br />I'm going try these Shape Ups on Carol's reccomendation of comfort.

Why would anyone think that walking with a rounded soled shoe would help your posture and all the other claims?<br /> <br />All Carol cared about is the fact that they're COMFORTABLE!<br /> <br />And the fact that the products we really like don't stay around very long is just more evidence that we are out of the "mainstream" of U.S. consumers, whatever THAT is. <br /> <br />The burdens we bear!<br /> <br />JohnDuke_of_Earlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08358279187766938462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10628759.post-71548578329579606362010-01-31T17:00:55.715-06:002010-01-31T17:00:55.715-06:00As soon as our snow and ice melts, I'll go loo...As soon as our snow and ice melts, I'll go looking for them.

Maryann and I have been together quite a few years. (Thanks for the "not long enough" comment. I'll keep it in mind.) We rely on each other to finish sentences, provide names, addresses, etc.<br /><br />Glad to learn Carol loves her Skechers Shape-Ups. I hate to tell you, but I heard somewhere that, after careful testing, they don't do what they are touted to do. So if Carol finds them comfortable, she should buy as many as your budget and good humor will allow. After all, if she finds them satisfactory, what do testers know? lol<br /><br />I find your views quite accurate on the demise of those items that we find so wonderful.Jack K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10619303846748379807noreply@blogger.com
