skechers shape-ups

i've been meaning to get myself a pair of black sneakers since forever but i never got around to doing it (because i had so many temptations along the way haha). i remember last time during those days when Skechers was still new to Malaysia, and i'd swoon over the pair of Skechers Christina Aguilera was modeling in the pamphlets (and it was black, what else? =P). Nesh used to like them too. being a Uni student at the time and dead broke (not to mention we didn't have the need for a pair of cun sneakers) me and Nesh promised each other that we'd each own a pair some day. i dunno if she still remembers this or not, haha. until this very day i don't own one - well, technically, i don't own the sneakers pair, but i did get myself a casual pair when i was in Jakarta (which i ruined when i wore it to the F1 Grand Prix in Sepang earlier this year). hey, they were cheap in Jakarta! =P

so recently Significant Other got back from the States, right? and he brought back this Skechers pamphlet, about a new product from the Skechers Fitness Group. apparently it's a new kind of fitness footwear which is just recently available in Malaysia. with Shape-Ups, you get to shape up while you walk. weird, eh? i think the design of the shoe has something to do with this. it's kinda unique, you could say. i tried it out at Parkson the other day, and i felt like i was rolling / gliding in it. hahaha. but i like!!! *swoon*

according to the pamphlet i took from Parkson:

"Shape-Ups from Skechers Fitness Group are functional, technically-rich walking shoes designed to get you fit while you walk, work, shop and more. It features a unique soft kinetic wedge insert and dynamic rolling bottom that simulates a 'walking on sand sensation', causing the wearer to work out while they walk."

well anyway they cost an average of rm400 here. unable to purchase a pair due to budget constraints, so at the moment i'm just drooling over the pictures online, hehe. so this is parked in my wishlist for now (my current wishlist at moment only consist of wraps - no thanks to Emiza hahahaha, and a yummy pair of Clarks shoes in Claret =P).

some of the designs and colors that i am particularly interested in:

this black one is Gorgeous!

can't really remember which one i tried yesterday. spot the difference with the above image =P

Significant Other fiddled with this one on display and it's starting to rub off me. very girly!

this nice? a slightly complex design. didn't notice if this was available or not

if i ever do get this, i might as well start getting into shape. my only form of exercise these days is merely a 10-minute walk from the parking lot to the office. just because i'm thin doesn't mean i don't need to exercise! anyone interested in joining a dance class? or yoga?

p/s. shoes are on the brain. must... de-tox.
