They're coveted by cottage-cheese afflicted supermodels, moms and athletes alike.


Can someone provide just ONE picture of a cottage cheese afflicted super model?

When: For best results, wear your Masai Barefoot Technology shoes as often as possible. (Sorry, but sitting in your desk in them won't suffice.)

Where: While they may not be the most fashionable of footwear, we suggest you wear them as often as possible, along with any part of your wardrobe. (Really, who's gonna notice your peculiar platform shoes, when your hamstrings are as streamlined as Seattle Slew's?)

1) Of course you won't lose cellulite if you just sit there behind a desk.

2) I wouldn't be caught dead in them. Neutral

3) I wish it could all be about the shoes and all I'd have to do is wear them to get into shape. Forget the running and conditioning and all of that.

4) I'm sure these are not even safe to exercise in, let alone walk in them.

marketing magic...as if running alone wouldn't reduce cellulite, so how perfect to market shoes that do...while you run. If you need a breast reduction, running will do that for you too....or wait...maybe it was the shoes!

Kind of thinking commercial hype as well. i will see how it will help with a heal to toe roll though.

might as well go get the cellulite burning creams too. save the money and go buy new speed skates for foot wear. Mr. Green

Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer gets the freaky-lookin' shoes that are supposed to make one jump higher, resulting in an invite to a benefit for mentally-challenged people. Being a guest of honor, he gets a seat at a table near Mel Torme, who also thinks Kramer is retarded because he's talking oddly with a swollen lip.

Well, as a scientist, i can say that YES, they will reduce cellulite and help you lose weight. No, it is not the HUGE heels. Not it is not the little pokey things on the bottom.

However, if you buy them and walk in them. I mean get out and walk in them, then yes, you will lose weight and reduce cellulite.

Darn, I just realized it is not the shoes, it's the walking...

But all those diet, lose weight firm up ab things all work the same way
