I like to exercise, but I can't walk anymore. I've really fallen in love with the plank and pale yoga moves, which I like to incorporate into my pre-weight training warm-up. I have a 12EW so it's hard to find normal shoes, and even more shoes like that. Ordinary skaters are too bulky for socks. Looking at them, I worried about how well the sole would hold up with these movements. These shoes are amazing! every workout and insanely comfortable. I also wear them everyday. I need to buy 3 more sets to keep in the closet as this was the only one of this size and type that I could find online.
