Using the same technology but digusing the product,
Reebok or any researcher/person can record the results of a test patient who isn’t bombarded by the excellent marketing and compare them to those persons who are.

But hey it works out for everyone right? The people lose their weight and Reebok gets their money and the analysis get to write their papers and make arguments. =]

I bought some skechers shape-ups and have noticed different aches and pains in my foot and ankle when I’m NOT wearing them. Like my muscles are starting to adapt to the shoe and when I’m not wearing the shoe walking is unbearable. I do think that there might be a lawsuit in the future, as soon as enough people start showing signs of injury. I love wearing them, they are comfortable, they make my legs really feel the walk…. but like I said… I’m now stuck wearing them all the time or else I have to deal with pain near my toes and in my ankles.

Hi Dan,
I realy enjoyed the book and was happy to discover this blog.

In relation to this post, i’d like to suggest you try to contact an Israeli company called Apos:
http://www.apos.co.il/
(link to Hebrew site).
They have done some controled research with a product that seems to work on the same priciples of those shoes and (of course) they claim it works, but not for excercise. They use it for rehabilitation and therapeutic purposes.
Maybe they’ll have some interesting insights about whether or not this stuff should work as an excercise shoe.

After twenty years of shod and injured running, I recently ran my marathon PR in bare feet. As _Born to Run_ gains readership, shoe company execs must be sweating bullets.

It is a pity you can not try them on dogs or other animals as they do not show the placebo effect … the gadget or drug or whatever either works or it does not.

I get a better overall body toning effect by walking on stilts and 12 inch platform shoes on wet sand.
