We will be in touch
Yep, that's it, another footwear related rant
And this time, it's directed at all the pie eating porkers poncing around in those stupid MBT and FitFlop fad-tastic pieces of footwear. Ever noticed that it's only ever the somewhat larger lady that wears them?
"Oh, but it mimics the natural foot movement of the Masai, dahling...."
Does it ****! The Masai walk barefoot, not in some putrid looking stupidly overpriced tatty trainers.
"Oh, but my FitFlops are so good for toning my thighs...."
Blah, blah, blah. Only if you actual walk for miles will you tone anything, tubby. How about maybe taking one crucial step per day, that step being to walk AWAY from the Krispy Kreme stand and try eating something a little less full of lard.
Grrrrr.
Wear proper shoes - Much cheaper, far more aesthetically pleasing.
Eat less - Save pennies to spend on a new wardrobe that won't sag once you've got rid of your gargantuan posterior
Exercise more - See above
Never heard of them. Move on.
I saw those FitFlops for the first time on Sunday, advertised in a shop window. Classic "Buy this And You'll Get Thin" advertising.
someone in our year used these (MBT's) as a basis for their dissertation..they looked like 'special' shoes....
I have no idea what these are...
I have no idea what these are...
They're either:
a) flip flops with a gym built in
b) marketing **** aimed at the gullible
I'd never heard of them, but after a quick Google I'll be right behind CapnFlash reloading as quick as he can empty both barrels.
My wife has worn MBTs for a couple of years. I am not very convinced, although some thigh toning was discernable at the start of the fad.
The funniest thing is watching her fall over on the train whenever it decelerates. 🙂
Oh..... I tried on some Fitflops and rather liked them..... cept I'm saving for Mephistos (no one's mentioned them yet!)

I sometimes wonder if some of your posts, BD, aren't part of the world's longest divorce petition.... 😥

I agree with the instruction. Unfortunately, one part of the justification is [i]necessarily[/i] incorrect.
Don't you already have enough pairs of useless footwear Anna?

Here are the offending items!!!
Now does it mean you will get longer legs, or just longer-looking legs? 😉
What a load of old tosh!
The only women I've seen wearing them are the mums of the kids from our local private school who haunt my daughter's swimming club!!
And, yes, most of them are overweight!
Flipflops, crocs...what the hell is wrong with people.
Buy some chuffin' shoes!!! 8)
Shop near me here has some "Vibram Five-Fingers", very odd.

That observation isn't particularly. Although I'm sure my life had impromptu and repetitive slapstick comedy in it before I got married. 🙂

Indded. Apologies - it's an observation drawn out from other threads. None intended.

I thought one had to remove all traces of fun on marriage. That's why Mrs North and I have been together for nearly 13 years but aren't yet married - she won't let us in case I stop doing stupid things that amuse her (like reversing the car wing mirror into the McDonalds drive thru operative's crown jewels, or beeping the horn of a hire car at the car rolling uphill towards us...).
