fit-flops and the "rocker sole revolution"

great, what an idea! Who wouldn't opt for a 'non-workout' toning method? And the science, if not the anecdotes, seems to be behind it. Flatter abs and less cellulite. Now let's talk about the foot and ankle problems that scores of cellulite obsessed women are going to develop in the next five years! Anything for a trim waistline!

*check out the small print on these ads as well-- 'not for use in a serious exercise capacity, not for use as a long-term walking shoe, not for use in sudden side to side movements...' and so on!

For an interesting contrast to the rocker-soles debate, do a google search on running barefoot (as nature intended) and see what the experts say on that!

**on an unrelated note... i really think there's no better singer/songwriter today! Check out "Mind's Eye", "Southern Pacifica" (w/Dawn Landes) and others on Youtube, but Josh Ritter is INCREDIBLE!!**CLICK ON ME!**
