Following on from Monday’s post ‘… and me boots are heavy’ – my boots really were heavy. After I had a fall a few weeks ago (please note that when you are old or have an issue for which a fall is a big deal you don’t simply fall over you ‘have a fall’ which makes the whole thing sound so much more dramatic don’t you think) a few days later I nearly had another fall – my foot went over again and I stumble but remained upright – just as well since it was going dark and Bud and I had just walked past the last house for a bit. So I decided it was time for new boots…
Aren’t they lovely and shiny and big looking.
And here’s my somewhat used and moulded to my feet old ones looking, to me at least, somewhat smaller in comparison.
However when I weighed them to confirm that the one ones were indeed heavier than my old ones the difference is pretty minimal. New ones 571g, with the old ones weighing in at 477g per boot a meagre difference of barely 100g (4oz). But they feel so much stiffer and heavier however they are keeping my feet firmly rooted on the ground and they have much better tread…
Whilst buying the boots I came across these…
Ohhhhh, trainers! Now I haven’t bought new trainers in years (since exercising was a bit of a no, no) but I can confirm that these carry a caution against doing anything in them except walking!
‘Product to be used for walking only. This product is specifically designed for walking and normal daily wear. This product is not intended to be used, nor should it be used, for any other athletic endeavour.’
And that’s because they are my ‘hidden beauty secret’ (I’m so nice I’m sharing it with you) and they will enable me to ‘get more out of everything I do’ with ‘jusqu’a 10% de calories bruelees supplementaires’ double ohhhhh. Oh, wait that should be ‘up to 10% increased calorie burning’ plus, yes there’s more, they will make my leg muscles have increased activation of anywhere between 14% and 29% more.
I got these two days before my last appointment at the hospital and wore them for the first time the day before on a short trip to a retail park (just in case they made me hobble). Now you may remember that when I got weighed at said appointment I’d lost 2kg. B is well impressed – 2kg after an hour’s wear! He can’t wait to see the long term results.
