If you know me, you know I absolutely love my Sketcher's "Shape Ups". They are the only shoes I've worn that haven't given me a problem over the years. With bad feet, bad knees, and a bad back, I need a reliable walking shoe...one that doesn't cause additional injury. I worn them all. With shape ups, I can see the results. These shoes, they work for me. Over the past couple of days, I have realized that I may overestimated my poor little shoes. After all, I've been really hard on them this past six months. I honestly believed I would reach my thousand mile goal (and beyond) wearing the shape ups I got for Christmas.
No worries. They are just equipment to get me to my fitness goal. I showed my husband this morning. They are literally coming apart at the heel. He just smiles and says,"Time for a new pair." So, what did I do? In my typical fashion, I took them downstairs for another five miles, at an incline, and a 14.38 pace. I knew they could take it. If I get to the store this weekend, I may get a new pair. Then again, I may just keep wearing them until they fall off my feet. Regardless of when I get out to replace them, I know my next shoe will definitely be another "Shape Up". Maybe, my next pair can take me another 632 miles. If you have any ideas as to what color I should get, please let me know. I've owned the white and black. Maybe I'm ready for something a bit more exciting. Pink maybe? Hmmmm...I wonder if they come in camouflage. Now that would be my kind of shoe. : )
