virgin-burner 1 #5 December 28, 2008 yup, i was a bit shocked at that, but thats a "normal" pricetag for a decent brand shoe around here.. rather expensive anyway, but might be worth it!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

virgin-burner 1 #6 December 28, 2008 the colors are not all that bad, its just the shape of the shoe that looks kinda strange..“Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

LouDiamond 1 #9 December 28, 2008 QuoteAre they worthy of a Presidential Salute? If you have foot/leg/hip/back problems they are worth their weight in gold. I know of at least one person who was considering surgery to relieve the pain associated with a leg/hip/back problem on Dr.'s advice. The shoes drastically reduced the pain and allowed for normal activity again within a few weeks. I walked around in a pair in the shoe shop just to check them out. They are definitely weird looking but are comfortable as can be. If you don't have/need corrective shoes, they may be hard to justify as they run in the $300 range. On the other hand, if you do have foot/leg/hip/back problems the relief they provide outweighs the cost I am told."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
virgin-burner 1 #10 December 28, 2008 so the experience with them is all positive so far. my left kneecap didnt grow the same speed as the joint, so if i put a lot of stress on it for an extended time, i feel that. i think i have to get a pair.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.
