Meet my new Bestfriend
I’ve never had a liking for rubber shoes. I dreaded wearing them. Instead of the comfort most people feel when they wear one, I feel the opposite. It’s as if my feet are enclosed in a tight space they can’t breathe. So the only time I ever wore a pair was way back when I was still in school. I think I’m the only person I know who doesn’t own a pair.
But not anymore. Last Sept 1, I attended the launch of Reebok’s latest collection. Dubbed as the Hexride technology, the collection includes a range of Reebok running, women’s training, sports conditioning and performance shoes. The launch was a festival in itself as the sound of drumbeats heightened the celebration.
Of course, what better way to get a feel of what the Easytone sneaker is all about is by a trail? Led by host Paolo Abrera, friends from the media and some guests walked around Trinoma Mall, starting from the activity center up until Crustacia where a feast awaited all of us.
When I first tried on my pair, I found it really light and comfortable. I was surprised that I actually like wearing this pair. What’s also good about the Easytone sneaker is that it is said to encourage leg toning through the use of a balance pod system to promote greater muscle use. Boy I sure would love that! Here’s my pair:
Pretty cool, right? Not bad for my first pair (well, after a long time, that is!). So there you have it friends, my new best friend. I’d think I might just start going back to my exercise routine and I’ll definitely bring this pair with me.
