The vow to get in summer shape and pump up the workout is now in gear! Well, most of these last few months, I have taken to doing a half walk around our local lake here in Elizabethtown, KY. I found it’s much easier to tread on cushy dirt paths and wooden bridges than my usual hard-as-a-rock concrete/pavement route in the neighborhood. Easier on the joints. Nothing feels better than a really good, fast-paced walk…especially with breathing in the fresh air and seeing the latest activity of the duck population (which can be just hilarious).

No minute or hour is wasted on exercise, but why not get the max out of these jaunts? Why not invest in footwear designed to burn more calories, improve posture and alleviate joint and back pressure?

Enter the Spring Boost Iguana running shoes. These are perfect for trail gripping and are hydrophobic for quick-drying action (after all, I am at a lake), not to mention they have the ability to tone, strengthen and lengthen core, leg and buttocks muscles. Perfect! Definitely worth the investment.

So I started walking on my treadmill again, and before I knew it, my hips were killing me. A chiropractor visit later, it turned out those old tennis shoes in my closet were worn out! My foot was overpronating because of the lack of cushioning and that was causing my hip pain.

So I thought, since my main exercise is walking, I should get a dedicated walking shoe. Especially now that I found out the innards of a shoe really do make a difference. And I got these: the Tidewater shoe by Propet.

The Tidewater even came in my wide width shoe size! I’ve always heard Propet made good quality shoes specific for walking. And to be honest, I chose them because they had a splash of pink on them.

Long story short. I love ‘em! There’s a shock absorber in the heel, and these walking shoes are super comfortable. And they really do look good on…like regular sneakers…I know you know what I mean! I mean, really, walking shoes? Oh, yes.
