| Why did people think these shoes worked?! |
So yeah I never bought them but I know some people who did. I am talking about the Sketchers Shape-Ups, those Frankenstein's monster looking shoes women wore thinking man I hope my butt looks like Pippa Middleton's in 3-6 months. I never believed that claim; it's like the infomercials about a miracle pill that will help you lose weight and then shown in tiny letters and the announcer reads at a rapid pace, "Works only if you also diet and exercise." Oh you don't say. Yeah I remember when my dad tried
metabolife but his doctor was like yeah no, you have a heart condition. Eventually my dad lost weight on his own no miracle drug or butt shaping shoes included. So yeah I am going that route the Roel Method, he walked everyday and cut back on how much ate and monitored what he ate. I am not going to name names but I know friends who bought shoes like this, not only Sketchers but Reebok had them too.
Well looks like both had to pay big ol fines to the FTC for lying about results you will get with the shoes. I just think it is hilarious and sad how people take advantage of others so easily because of their desperation to attain something or in my case lose something. Yeah fatties will do anything to lose weight as long as we get to keep eating our McDonalds too. The United States is getting to be a Fatty Mcbutterpants Nation. Companies will try anything to sell their product. I wonder if Shape-Ups were a mistake. I can see it now:
