Victoria's Secret revolutionizes fitness

I just can't believe what I'm reading. Apparently "walking" is some sort of "exercise" and the benefits can only be activated by these special shoes from Victoria's Secret!

Ok not only is this just hilarious, it has the most infuriating tagline in the history of advertising

KILL ME NOW

Get longer,  leaner looking legs. GREAT!

You can get longer legs?!?!?!?! Hurray!!! my dreams of playing in the NBA have risen from the ashes!!!

it says it recreates the gait of barefoot walking. so walk barefoot and don't buy these stupid shoes!

Hahahaaaaa! That is so funny! They have those stupid shoes everywhere now!

This claim is a load of bull... check this add out for the lame-o $50 shoes =

Oh My.....................!!!!!!  If that isn't about the stupidest thing I've ever seen.  Ok, sadly it probably isn't... but still!  Isn't there some issue with false advertising here?  I mean, longer legs????

I guess it just goes to show you how stupid they think people are.  Worst of all, there will be those out there that fall for this nonsense.  $50 down the drain, and you still have a 25 inch inseam... how on earth did that happen?

Feast your eyes on these babies - http://www.zappos.com/n/p/p/7260914.html

The running store near my house is promoting them like nobody's business. I have yet to see anyone in my neighborhood wearing them.

LOL! maybe they have 5-pound weights in the bottom of each shoe!

Well if I had to chose betweenthe 2 I'd do the zappos first only because I have to wear socks I can not wear flip flops- I have the god awfulest ugliest feet and would never be caught wearing sandles LOL

If it recreates a barefoot feel I'd go nuts.  I wear socks and slippers or shoes from the minute I get out of bed till I go back to bed.

That *sounds* like the MBT line, which is apparently great for reactivating muscles that aren't really used that much. Definitely pushes the whole "walking barefoot" part anyway! I have a friend who has bought 3 pairs over the last year, and that's at > E200 (>$300) a go. She swears by them though, and they've aided a lot with her backache and sciatica, so don't write that kind of thing off straight away! Mind you, I'm not sure that they actually make you lose weight/tone your legs, that could just be wishful thinking

There's no doubt that there are shoes and inserts for orthopedic/medical reasons. I still think it's funny that there are shoes marketed for shaping your legs while you're walking. I might be crazy, but I think it *might* be the walking doing most of the work?

And you can get this stuff from Victoria's Secret too, it would go so well with those FitFlops, ugggg what is wrong with this world???????????????????????

Man I should go buy the shoes and this cream and forget all about training for my marathon.  The results from the shoes and the cream seem far better then running. ROFLMAO

hahaha is all i can say

SOOO pathetic. I smell BS.

Why must everyone look for the easy way out to lose weight? And genetics? Hello... hasn't anyone ever heard of them? Could this be spot toning promotion - which has been and will always be said on this site - it just doesn't work that way.

This is VS getting way out of their league. SO sad. I wonder who counseled them on this brilliant idea.

I've heard that the cast of Grey's anatomy wear the MBT line of sneakers when they're filming the show. They should work that into their advertising strategy somehow. hehe

How about this one?  My friend tried this and said she was basically hooked up to a machine that shocked different parts of her body for about 25 minutes, and is supposed to strengthen and tone muscles. 

ISOGEI (I•SO•J)

Isogei uses isometric muscle contractions to strengthen and lift muscles. This method tenses the muscle and strengthens it up to 100%. The muscle will return to it's natural lifted strong form. Tissues attached to the muscle (i.e. face, breast, buttocks, under arms, etc.) will also lift recreating a youthful appearance. Non-surgical lifting is visible in the very first treatment.

Why not just lift some weights for 25 minutes??

WHAT!? You mean these shoes dont work?! Man I just spent 49.99 on nothing.

Just joking!!!!
