Back to the gym…Who wants a new pair of shoes!


I am not excited to admit this but this Fat and Sassy Mama is getting a little poochy. Time for me to hit the gym and with some gusto. First thing I needed to do was get some comfy shoes. You see I am a flip flop gal. It makes me a little queasy thinking of closing my little piggies in a shoe. I have not even begun to think about the exercise! So, to my excitement I was given these awesome Spira Genesis shoes to try! No better gift to my lover than the gift of a healthy heart! So I am going to get this booty back to the gym!

At first opening the box I was a little disappointed that they were not more flashy, pink, etc. Instead they were white. Oh well, let’s get them on and give them a whirl on the old treadmill. Now this is where things get GOOD! They are so so freaking comfortable. I mean I have wide Barney feet and these felt like a cloud. Perfection in a shoe. I cannot say the same for my more brightly colored shoes I own. I guess they need a gimmick. Not Spira! They are the real deal!

Here are some super fun facts about my new favorite super shoe…Spira!

Spira Footwear’s patented WaveSpring technology is proven to not only cushion your step, but to provide real energy return! A study by Michigan State in 2001 reported that 87-96% of energy is returned from the WaveSpring. (Sounds so good it might have Turbo on the side….) WaveSpringÒ technology works by deflection as opposed to compression and therefore the cushioning quality of Spira shoes won’t break down over the life of the shoe. (Means more spring in your step for longer!) The springs in Spira shoes are tuned to the average weight of the person who happens to wear that size shoe.(Yeah shoes tuned for me!) The springs are adapted to the activity so there is a different spring in running shoes versus walking, for example, and even amongst the different running shoes the springs can differ. Professional athletes aren’t the only ones benefitting from Spira. Check out the InSPIRAtion blog area and hear everyone’s story about how much they love their shoes!

Best part is that if you “Fan” Spira on Facebook get a 15% off discount code to use in the online store.

Now it is time to pitch your old shoes and go get some clouds! I promise you will love these and be thanking me!

    I "liked" them and posted my response. As a couch to 5K running coach, I'll do whatever it takes to get people off their butts and get them out there being active, be it walking, running, treadmill or otherwise. If I win, I'm going to offer these up as an incentive to others to get off their couch and take back their lives.

    I liked them on FB and posted my resolution. Those shoes look so comfortable (better than the cheap ones I just got at a certain bargain store!)
