Cheaters Never Prosper

I honestly believe that saying, I also believe that anything worth having is worth working for.

But, I saw a commercial and and thought to my self I'll give that a try!  I'm over my ideal weight by more than I would really like, and this can't hurt....right?

So I went out and purchased said item and decided to use them at work as I am on my feet for 6-8 hours a day.  A perfect time and place to use them.  Initially all went well, then while my back started bugging me.  Nothing new, I don't always use correct lifting form and I have had a few pretty good horse wrecks.  So off to the chiropractor I went.  Turned out it was my left hip that was the root of the cause of my trouble.  This is the hip that I was drug by when I was 16.  It bothers me from time to time, but this was the first time it caused back pain.  Adjust and move on, that's what I did.

Then a week ago, my back started hurting again.  What??!!??  This time it was far worse.  Off I went back to the chiropractor.  As he is popping and cracking he says to me, what has changed over the last few months that could be causing this.  I told him nothing in particular.  Then he says what about these shoes?  Oh, yeah...the shoes.

So I was adjusted 4 our of 5 days last week, couldn't ride, and was crabby.  I did however ditch the shoes and get some that aren't all crazy, just good well made shoe with arch support.  Its still to early to tell for sure, but I am thinking...  If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.  Firm and tone while you walk, maybe.  Cripple me, definitely!  ( : 

One of our employees has some, and she doesn't have a bit of trouble with them and the same with my sister.  So it could just be me and my past injuries...but I am tossing them none the less.

Rest In Piece Sketchers!  Been not so nice knowing ya!
