Dianne - how are the shoes working for you? Are you seeing any results yet?

I just had lunch with SIL - and on the way home, I bought a pair. It was funny - she's referred so many of her patients that they like rolled out the red carpet when we entered the store.

They are amazingly comfortable. I was tempted to buy the sandals, but opted for the walking shoe. I'm tempted to head for the park, but I think I'll just wear them around the house for today.

I got dizzy the first few days. It really changes the way you walk, doesn't it? I love them and they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn.

Too soon to see any results yet. I just started an exercise program too so that will be a bonus. You just can't stand still in them. Even when I'm cooking, I'm gently rocking back and forth. Those leg muscles are getting a work out.

I ordered a pair for both of my daughters. One has lower back problems and the other is a nurse and on her feet all day. I don't know about wearing them at work...trying to give someone a shot while rocking back and forth. That could get ugly. Not the prettiest shoes in the world but who cares? My husband says I kind of walk funny in them. Whatever!

I've had them on all afternoon - and they are soooo comfortable.

The salesman did ask me if I had any problems with dizziness. So, I guess it's not unusual.

Do you wear them to exercise in (other than walking?) I think I'd like to try that, but not until I am more sure of myself.

Not yet. I did the bicycle thing this morning but will venture to the treadmill tomorrow. I'm going to start slow so I don't fall down!

I wish I had known about the dizziness. I was questioning if it was bad allergies, some bug or just getting old. It was a tough few days but now, I'm doing great! I think I wore them too much at the beginning.

Browser, I didn't see any sandals, how much are they? Did you have to pay $245 for your shoes. Sheesh, I've never paid that much for anything I've ever worn!

The sandals look pretty good. (Not unlike a Birkenstock) They did not have the style I liked in my size, and with the $$$ factor, I guess I'll be happy with the walking shoes.

My SIL is a chiropractor and gave me a script for 10% off (List $245. my cost - $220.) I have spent a fortune on workout DVD's, Nordic Track, etc. and never felt that quilty. At this age, I think anything that will keep me ahead of the game is worth it. I suppose they could even be considered a 'medical expense' since they were 'prescribed' but that's probably a stretch.

there are a few pair on eBay, one that is my size that I bid on. Hope to get it a little cheaper!...If it was prescribed, it's a medical expense!

Wow, I can feel it in my muscles already. Just wearing them around the house yesterday - I feel my calfs, buttocks, mid lower back, and oddly - the outer sides of my hips. Didn't know I had muscles there....

My bum knee was also a tad achy during the night - but that happens no matter what activity I do.

I was looking forward to trying them outside today, but spring has taken a detour apparently. Awoke to a light coating of snow and ice!!

I am following this thread and considering. I wonder who sells them in Baltimore.

I'm anxious to hear more about your results.

What is it that makes them work? Are you walking on your toes?
