  1. I dunno though, I wish they would switch it up a bit. It’s always the same people, with the same style of photography. Ferragamo did something similar a few months ago. The Blonde Salad- yaaaawn! I would rather it was people who actually know and wear the brand or can offer a creative take on it (just sayin…)

“Skechers USA, the market leader in toning footwear, has agreed to pay $40 million to resolve a Federal Trade Commission charge that it violated the law by making false and unsubstantiated claims about the health and fitness benefit of their toning shoes. Skechers has advertised these shoes since 2009 with tag lines like ‘Get in shape without ever setting foot in a gym’ and ‘Make your bottom half your better half.’ But when comparing its toning footwear to standard fitness shoes, Skechers put its foot in its mouth by unproven claims that its toning footwear strengthens muscles, increases weight loss, reduces body fat and improves circulation and aerobic conditioning.”
Comfort level: As a woman, you know that sitting down and relaxing is just a pipe dream. In reality, if you are anything like most women, you are on the go constantly. Therefore, you want and deserve the most comfortable shoe possible. The comfort level of the SkechersGOwalk 2 shoe is impressive. What makes the shoe comfortable is its virtually weightless synthetic material. The average GOwalk shoe weighs just 5oz for a size 7M.
Skechers sent Keflezighi some of the early prototypes of its GoRun shoes in 2011 and he liked how they performed. That summer, he signed a two-year sponsorship deal with the Manhattan Beach, Calif.-based company, but not solely because he was looking for a paycheck. He wanted to partner with a brand that believed in him as much as he was willing to believe in the brand. Still, it was a huge risk for both sides.
