You cannot be serious. What makes you think he wouldn't get a cleaning service if his house was smaller? Here's how he can do it: He has the money. Besides 140 dollars every 2 weeks is not bad to have your house always cleaned and your laundry done.

depending on where you live, there is no avoiding them or other hazards like broken glass... and yes, you could only use it while on a treadmill, but then why bother getting the shoes? wouldn't going barefoot be better? Plus, before these shoes and this talk, I didn't know that I should want to strengthen my feet, news to me.

The cleaning service thing, I think many people find it odd because they don't have a cleaning service. Based on Alex's face, he thought it was a bit odd too. Honestly, I don't blame Kevin, if I could afford to hire someone to clean my place every 2 weeks, I totally would.

Cleaning services are very popular, especially among older (and relatively rich) people. And most of them wash and put away laundry I think.

Going to get a pair of these myself, been on my list for a while, nice to see kevin is already enjoying the benefits.

When you think about it the foot was not designed to be constrained by a shoe, and when one is worn it alters the way we walk and stand, one of the reasons there are so many people with back problems?


Anyway. def going for a pair myself, if in doubt just read all the reviews on the web.

How is that a good argument for buying a different kind of shoe? Why not just go barefoot, like, according to you, the foot was designed for.

Well because there is no heel on these "shoes" they are as close as you can get without actually going barefoot. (Which is not always possible) They are designed so that your own arch supports your weight, like it is supposed to.

There as close to barefoot as is practical.

Ps,

He can read, he just can't speak and read at the same time! I have a close friend who can't walk and talk at the same time.
