Shape-Ups shoes: Sketchers admits they're garbage, pays $40 million

[RoryN]

Kim Kardashian, mass publicity, all down the drain. Sketchers lied the whole time - they don't do shit to get people in shape.

Where I live, people bought these by the dozen.

Anyone who buys a pair of sneakers to lose weight deserves to be taken.

They only work if you buy them with your food money.

You mean they don't magically work just sitting in the closet?

 

[lovetoread]

I bought a pair.

With my food money.

I bought a pair.

With my food money.

I went on the Sketchers diet. It took a week to eat the first one, but I only got halfway through the other before I wanted real food.

If you bought a Nordic Track, you could use it to hang laundry on.

I am trying to sign up for the settlement, but the site is frozen.

They're prolly giving out 25¢ a pair. The lawyers were the real winners, here.

Everyone who wants to take lovetoread, raise your hand please.

Nice one, iMan!

 

[lovetoread]

$20 bucks if I agree to the settlement.

I paid $50 for the pair!

 

[Jackotheshadows]

I used to shriek at the TV every time Brooke Burke came on to shill those. How on God's green earth were they supposed to "firm up" stuff, when there was no aerobic work involved.

Argh!

I'll take her. And I will give her something better than a pair of crap sneakers.

A wise man on this site who shall go nameless taught me the value of this and what it means. I shan't forget his sage wisdom.

They were best beer battered and deep fried!!!

 

[lovetoread]

do you have to return the shoes?

I dont think so, but I havent agreed to it yet.

And I am worth a can of corn?

I actually did buy a pair of them when they first came out because I thought they were sorta cute. They hurt my feet so I only wore them a couple times. They're still in the closet if anyone wants them. Size 7, pink and white.

 

[pink]

People are still wearing them.

 

[warrior queen]

My thought when they first came out was 'no way in hell do I want an ass as big as Kim Kardashians!'
Never even tried a pair on.

People are still wearing them.

Some people think the world is flat

some believe dinosaurs walked the earth with man

Some believe our business don't need regulation, they will police themselves.

I lost money on their stocks a few years ago

gotta believe in something?

She wasn't the perfect spokesperson for them, since her dupa is as fake as her laugh and chest.

If women wanted to tone their calves, thighs, and tushes, all they had to do was, umm, I don't know, walk UP and DOWN stairs often, walked hills in the park, put a little more effort into their daily lives.

I have a couple of pairs. I bought them because they felt good, not because they were magic.
