Hey I have a question. do these shoes help with the cellulite you get on the backs of the legs?? and do they help to tone up the calf muscles?? I will get some if they do..I have my sons birthday party at the end of the month, and its a pool party and I need all the help I can get..lol

I never find heels that look drown up , in my size they do have the chunky 1 1/2 heel, so thats as good as I can get. I am sure I could find a place that caters to tiny feet, but I live in a small town and we dont have stores like that, I have to try on the shoe to make sure it fits fine, cause I also have a bit wider foot. I love the summer time when its OK to ware sandles case they do have cute little kid sandles that don't light up with each step I takeSneakers are a pain to find, all look to kiddish or they light up, or have Disney Princess or Hanna Montana on them LOL

Oh that's so funny, I've never had shoes that light up with each step, actually that might be helpful in senior shoes, those stair steps gets darker each year!

Fitness Shoes

The Rip-Off: Reebok calls it the EasyTone; Skechers, the ShapeUp. These curved-sole shoes, transforming people into human rocking chairs, cost up to $130 and promise to keep you fit even while grocery shopping. During 2009 sales grew 14-fold to $245 million, estimates market researcher NPD. One problem: "They mostly affect the foot and ankle," says Dr. Michael Ross, director of Rothman Institute's Sports Performance Lab, which counts the Philadelphia Eagles, Phillies and Flyers among its clients. "There is no evidence they will help you tone better or quicker than a regular shoe."
