You're not going to believe this-I barely believe it. But Skechers claims to have created a shoe that, by simply wearing it instead of other shoes, will help you lose weight.
I'm having some trouble posting photos to my blog, but here is a link to the Shape-Ups Web site that explicitly explains how this ugly little shoe can make all your dreams come true (yea, right).

I guess I can kind of see where they were going with the almost astronaut-like design, and how they could convince avid weight loss-seekers that the rounded heel could actually cause the person to work harder while they walk.
On top of losing weight, these shoes also claim to help your posture, your back, firm your buttocks and more.
And the little video they have on the Web site might be able to convince you of all this.
But as for me, I'm not buying it.
What do you think? Can the design of a shoe actually help you lose weight?
