Welcome to Fit to Be Real. And a little extra.
I'm Victoria. Hey guys, I'm Carly. And we're
struggling. I feel like what's different between
any other day? Well, because I'm the one struggling.
It's wonderful to watch. That it's not me. She's
really diving in to let them. She's letting me
be helpless. Thank you to all who reached out.
And I hope that podcast made you laugh. I don't
know if I was intending it to be funny, but it
made some people laugh. It was hilarious. Have
you gotten over it? Are you over it? I do want
to ask you how it's going. I feel like you don't
though. I feel like you don't. Wow, we both look
really good. I know. I just looked at you. I
forgot that we do this and people can see. I
don't know how many people watch, but just know
It's this is the best they get the ball or the
shoe has to drop somewhere and the shoe drops
the ball like New Year's Eve. Yeah, the ball
drops once a year. But the shoe drops here. All
right. We got a lot going on and in our outfits
right now or every Tuesday. That's where the
shoe drops. You used to wear prom dresses. I
know. And I couldn't keep it up. I could not
keep. Literally, because I have no chest, but
I also just couldn't keep it open. That's how
it's going to go today, folks. No, you asked
me a question. I am better. I'm going to be in
it. Thank you for the specifics. You're welcome.
No, and you know what? I was rethinking about
it this week and I was thinking, I think or no,
I know that it's hard when your kids go to school
and it's your last one and you have nobody when
you come home, but I think it was extra hard
for me. I don't know if anybody else feels this
way. Cause you're a different mom than all the
other moms. I'm not a regular mom. I'm a cool
mom. I'm going to be that for Halloween one year.
We won't know you're dressed up. I'm going to
wear a Juicy Couture velour jumpsuit. I will
straighten my hair. Juicy Couture velour? Oh
my. And I'm going to walk around with fake mocktails
and just go around and say, I'm not a regular
mom, I'm a cool mom. What's a fake mocktail?
A mocktail. I meant a fake drink, and I said
mocktail. It's redundant. Wait, what word did
you say in class the other day? She couldn't
figure out a right and a left, but then she whipped
out this word? Yeah, I remember. Resurgence.
Resurgence. We're dancing. It's cardio. I don't
even know what we're doing. It was Demi Lovato.
And I was like, I'm really in my Demi area, but
I meant era. So then she said resurgence for
some reason. And I let it go, and then I was
like, pull around, pull around. She just said
resurgence. And then you were like, do you mean
resurrection? Yeah. And I was like, yeah, I think
I used the wrong R word. She was like, this is
such a resurgence for Demi. I was like, hm? Yeah.
I tried. Single, single, double. I tried. Single,
single, double. Let me finish my thought. Let
me resurge my thought. I think that it's extra
hard to send your kids to school, especially
when it's the last one, with the way the world
is right now. All I kept thinking was the shooting
in the church had just happened two weeks prior
to Dean, or one week prior to Dean going to kindergarten.
And he's scream crying like, don't leave. Lewis
is scream crying, don't leave. And that's all
I could think of was like, if something were
to happen, if something were to happen and I
sent them to school scream crying, that would,
you know what I mean? So I think that's what
really got or was getting to me about that situation.
Well, now we can't laugh about it. Cool. Now
I can't make a joke because that's real and it's
happening. I was trying to think of why it was
so devastating to me, because I was like, he's
just going to school. Let it go. He's just going
to school. He needs this. Everybody needs this.
I'll go to jail if he doesn't. It's the law.
He has to go to school. I keep telling him. I'm
like, Dean, you're going to send me to jail if
you don't go. Oh, good. Oh, my. But I was like,
why? And then I... It's scary to send your kids
to school right now. So and that had just happened
in a church My kids go to Catholic school where
I thought maybe It's never gonna happen there
and it happened and it was just like a lot. I
mean we would be Silly to not speak up about
the past couple of weeks and we won't we won't
sit on this for too long But it's been pretty
hopeless. Yeah, like it's a dark mental space
especially when you're scrolling and clicking
and diving deep into videos that I didn't know
existed and now they're coming around and now
it's all my newsfeed and as much as you want
to be educated and in the know and I need to
do that more I took such a step back and now
I'm understanding that like I can do that. What?
Take a step back from listening to the news because
it's Something maybe in the moment that doesn't
directly affect me like it's a privilege to be
like I just don't want to listen to the news
Yeah, I don't want to go on social media, which
I Think everybody needs to take a step back No
matter who you are in the world like get your
head out of your phone for a moment and try to
like live and Like find peace and then go back
to knowing what's going on But I think being
educated is now something like you we need knowledge
We need knowledge in the midst of everything
that's going on. But I think it's really hard
to be educated when you don't know what's real
and what's fake. Right. Right, right. But what's
real is what you're talking about, or the shootings
that are happening, the monumental events. That's
real. And knowing why and knowing who and knowing
when is the knowledge and the importance that
I'm talking about. For the past who knows how
long, people would tell me and be like, oh my
god, when did that happen? I don't think I should
do that anymore. I want to be in it. However,
it's a real dark place to be in it. I was just
going to say, do you want to be in it? Not really.
Not really. Guys, keep saying that. Say it out
in the wild. Make it happen in the wild. But
in any case, that was my thought. And it makes
a lot of sense that you would feel like that
because it's almost unbelievable what's going
on. I just we didn't go to school like that.
No, I never. And I don't want the kids to feel
that. I don't do that. Do yours. I mean, they
do lockdown drills. No, I don't think that when
they walk into school, they are nervous. And
I know what I mean. Well, good. Like I like we
were never nervous. That was our second home.
It was just like our bedroom at home was going
to school. Like we were there more than we were
at home. Yeah. Because you're there so many hours
a day and it was family and it was small and
it was a you know, like a little bubble. And
I think that they feel that too. But I, you know,
we didn't do lockdown drills. Like I had a meeting
with lunch moms yesterday about what to do if
a lockdown, if an active shooter happens while
we're on lunch duty, where do we take them? Who
do we call? Like, and it was like, you got to
take them to this school. You got to take them
down this road. And it was just like, oh, I have
to really know about this. Yeah. And like, then
oh my god you're in charge i know oh god she
was like don't ever open the door for me if i'm
trying to get in during an active shooting and
i was like why i literally looked at the principal
i said why she said well because if there's a
shooter with a gun to my head trying to get in
the building you gotta let me you can't let me
in and i i would i literally gasped i was like
oh and she's like oh you wouldn't believe what
we have to oh my god go with And this is the
principal of the school being like, do not let
me in the building. Do not open the door for
me during an active shooter. And I was like,
I can't believe that I need to know about this.
Well, yeah, start believing it. And they were
like, oh, we tell the kids it's hide and seek
guys, get low, go hide because you can't tell
kindergartners first grade what's actually happening.
And I was like, and this is why. I've been crying
every day. I don't want my kids to go to school.
But if you don't know, it becomes a worse situation.
Right. Right. You know? So I was just like, oh,
God. I said this. Pedro and I were talking about
this. And I was like, well, does your school
do this in the sit right in the Philadelphia?
And he was like, this doesn't happen in the city.
It happens in the suburbs. Really? Every shooting.
I can't say every, but the majority. Suburban
that's crazy. So they do fire drills and stuff,
but like these hardcore lockdown girls I that's
a it's a specific type of place that needs to
do them and That's insane. It is but it's all
insane. No, I know I mean it's insane that we
have to think about it So if you were feeling
bad because your kids were going to school you
can join my club We're good. We're good. And
on that note, we're going to transition to what
we're actually talking about today. Shoes. Running
shoes. Well, here's what it is. The difference
between running shoes and training shoes or cross
trainers, whatever you want to call them, because
we're a fitness podcast. Some think. We're not
sure what we are anymore, but you would not believe
how many - We're trying to get by podcast. Wait,
that's a great name. Yeah, just trying to get
by. That's a great name. No, we're pretty set
in the moment we have, but we are going to try
to get by at the same time. All right, I'm too
tired to rebrand. I stopped posting. Tyler, Yoga
Tyler episode two, three, he was like, do you
guys still do the podcast? Shut up. And I was
like, uh -huh. We missed a few Mondays. It's
been a crazy summer. He was just like, no, you
used to post. I feel like I saw your name every
five seconds on Instagram. He posts a lot. I
was like, yeah, I got real tired. Way to go,
Tyler. No, it's true. And I was like, I need
to hear this. I need to hear this. I need a little
resurgence. Yeah, you need a resurgence. Fit
to be real needs a resurgence. But having said
that. Because we're trying to go by. If you've
noticed. Because I was unaware and I was like,
am I listening to the wrong podcast? Is my phone
glitching? Oh, yeah. There are ads now in the
beginning of the podcast. Moving on up to the
ad line. I called Victoria. I said, I think you
uploaded the wrong thing to our podcast. What
is this? So, I don't know. I don't know. I clicked
some buttons. It said our podcast was, you know,
we met all the criteria for such and such and
blah, blah, blah. And I was like, cool, sounds
good. Sign me up. And I got through half the
process, but then, you know, I got busy and I
had to go do other things for, you know. work
that I get paid for and so I stopped doing the
process but it seems like I did the whole thing
yeah it looks like you did the whole thing because
there are ads so don't turn it off because you
think it's the wrong podcast like I did don't
turn it off the ads are important the ads are
going to help us and help you by helping us in
the long run so want to keep doing this yes listen
to those uh what 45 second to a minute minute
and a half ads right now they're in the beginning
of the podcast, I believe. So it'll be a fun
game as how it kind of evolves from there, because
I don't know. Yeah, I'm not sure. I don't know,
but I totally forgot. So thank you. OK, rewind.
We're talking about the difference between running
shoes and training shoes. And I think this is
probably one of the top questions I get right
before class when people are like talking and
stuff. People ask this all the time because it's
really important. But I never really knew. I
knew tread. My go -to answer was tread. The thicker
the tread, it's really for running and gripping
into the ground and or hiking. I think the most
tread comes into hiking sneakers or what do they
call them in the South? Trailblazers? Trail runners?
No, tennis shoes. I was thinking tennis shoes.
Tennis shoes? So tennis shoes, sneakers, same
thing. Tread would have been my answer. And then
I would justify it by like, if you have really
thick tread and then came to a seafood class
on that type of regular floor doing a lot of
different movements, it kind of hinders that
because they're too thick. And I'm not wrong,
but there's better ways to answer it. So the
sole of the shoe is the number one. Have you
ever seen the shoes that you can like fold? Yes.
I'm always like, that can't be a good shoe. Yeah,
that can't be good. It's like the best shoe.
You want that sole to the shoe. I don't like
to feel the floor. Why? I like really thick soles.
Okay, so that's more of a running shoe. So the
sole is the flexibility of the shoe, right? So
a more solid shoe, solid sole is gonna be a running
shoe because it's about the heel toe. You're
just going straight, you're going forward and
the motion of the foot is pretty stable. The
training shoe has more of a flexible sole and
they're the ones you can really fold and bend
up and kind of twist around. And that's so you
can do lateral movement side to side and have
more mobility with the foot altogether. So I
have like 64 pair of sneakers and that I wish
was an exaggeration, but it is not. About 60
of them are bad for my feet. They're like trashy,
trash shoes. They're not good for you. No, I
mean, they were expensive, but they should not.
but they're not good for my feet. Like they,
it is incredible the difference when you switch
to a good shoe that is for the workout that you're
doing, as opposed to just one that like looks
cute and is colorful. The difference in your
knees. It's crazy. And I, I think I learned that
10 years in, because I just always went for like
the cuter shoe or the highest sole or whatever.
She's wearing New Balance right now, like an
old dad. with high white socks. Show the people.
Kick it out. She's 50. 50. I'm 50. But those
look weird, first of all. First of all, they're
very trendy. Victoria doesn't follow trends.
She is not a trend follower. She thinks she's
a trendsetter. I like how you said the same thing
differently. I do. I enjoy that. I love a good,
you guys know I love a good trend and I will
try anything. But I really do like these but
I would never work out them ever they're too
heavy But these are very popular with the kids
because remember I'm not a regular mom. I'm a
cool mom Not with those shoes you're not But
no, seriously, these are her pants are tucked
into her socks. I just I need to put that they're
tucked in to her high white socks I don't want
anybody following me out of the grocery store.
We've been through this episode before. If I
dress like this, no one will follow me out of
the grocery store. Okay. Heel drop. That's the
other thing you need to look for for your differentiating
shoes. Okay. So the sole of the shoe is number
one. The heel drop. I said, I hate you, but I
didn't say it into the microphone loud enough.
So I wanted to make sure everybody heard. The
heel drop is basically how flat the shoe is.
Is it like a mic drop? Yeah, exactly like that.
So if your heel is high, think of a high heel,
if your heel is higher than the ball of your
foot, and so your foot goes on a downward slope,
that's the measurement of your heel drop, the
drop of your heel to the floor. So a thicker
shoe, a moon shoe, a Brooks, a Hoka, you know
the real thick. I love them. The ones I wear,
the New Balance, they're called Fresh Foam. They're
very thick. Yeah, yeah. I've had many pairs.
My black and gray ones are Fresh Foam. Super,
super thick. I got them for walking. Carly gets
them for running. But that's the point is that
that sole of that shoe, you're not really going
to bend that shoe around. It's too thick. So
the sole is thick and not as mobile or not flexible.
And then the heel drop, your heel is set a lot
higher than the bottom or the ball of your foot.
You're on like a wedge. It's like a wedge. It's
like a wedge. So that is best for running. The
flatter the foot, where your ankle is at a 90,
I can't do it with my hand. Yeah, I can see.
Your ankle is at a 90 degree angle with your
foot and your shin. You're making like an L.
Yes. That means your heel and the ball of your
foot are in the same line. That's more of a training
shoe. because that's going to have less of a
thick, sturdy sole. I think they're both good,
but I say from experience, not necessarily science,
I say from experience that if you live in those
heel drop shoes, like we do essentially, where
your heel, you're constantly wearing a wedge.
You're on your toes. You're not allowing your
Achilles tendon that runs into the calf muscle
or You know any type of feeling of plantar fasciitis
that underfoot that wraps up. You're not allowing
it for its full mobility because you're keeping
it Scrunched. Yeah when you drop your heel to
the floor and it's at the same level as your
toes and you have that 90 -degree angle in your
ankle That fully stretches out everything that's
in there So when it's never like that and you're
active Like 90 % of your day. All I do is wear
sneakers unless I'm at home Carly you wear sneakers
in your home I do I wake up at 5 a .m. Put it
right away inappropriate I'll then I'll put my
robe on top of my workout clothes. Absolutely.
Hit it. I hate I don't put it I hate everything
about it. I Need to move on but when you live
like that, then you are actually re like you're
changing the Connection in your heel your muscles.
Yeah, basically you're changing your composition
your body's composition in terms of those tendons
and ligaments and stuff Which why do I say that
can cause plantar fasciitis? Achilles tendon
problems. We both have one. It's horrible. I'd
rather have plantar fasciitis and that's Absolutely
debilitating. What did I have? Where they made
me stop and I had to wear flat shoes What did
I have? It was called? Didn't you have the Achilles
tendon? Yeah. Achilles tendonitis. Yes. Oh, you
said that? I didn't say the itis part. Yeah.
But yeah. Yeah. It's horrible. Because I tend
to wear thick shoes for 15 hours a day and I
jump a lot and my Achilles was not stretching.
It was so tight that you could touch it and I
would Go to the ceiling. It was so bad. I was
afraid it was going to snap. And I didn't get
that far, thank gosh, because I stopped doing
what I was doing. But I think a lot of years
of bad shoes too had something to do with it.
Well, that's my next thought. I'm a good segueist,
so. Sorry, that was an inside joke. When you
don't think something's funny, but somebody else
feels like it deserves a laugh, that's the laugh
you give. But it's deserving of a laugh for the
person that was just trying to be funny. It's
a pity laugh, okay? It's a pity laugh. It's a
little painful to do. Okay. I didn't know this
so I'm gonna read this right off my phone and
I'm not gonna pretend like I know what I'm talking
about. Replacing sneakers for active use is every
300 to 500 miles, which to me is a little hard
to gauge. Yeah, I don't know. I'm not running.
I mean, add up all your mileage that you do.
It's about every four to six months. Yeah, that
seems about right. If active. I'll allow it.
That seems about right. Now, this doesn't necessarily
mean you're working out like that. You could
be a nurse and you're on your feet for the majority
of your day. Speaking of nurses. I'm gonna hijack
this for a second real quick. You guys need to
watch The Pit. Oh my god, if you talk about this
show one more time. You know when you're obsessed
with something? I'm obsessed with The Pit. Anyway,
I sidetracked. I do. I was obsessed with Mel
Robbins. I was obsessed with Mel Robbins. I was
obsessed with everything she stands for and telling
you and changing the world. I get it. The Pit
will change the world. Could you imagine The
Pit along with Melliar? The world would be a
better place. The last thing I'm gonna say about
feet is that I'm going to attach an article that
I'm not going to talk through because it's like
12 or 13 different ways to keep your feet healthy
and it's little stretches that you can do at
home while you're watching TV, while you're not
doing anything else. You can't have sneakers
on, I would say. I don't wear sneakers in bed.
I don't wanna know what you wear to bed. But
it's like stuff like grabbing a marble. grabbing
stuff for the dexterity of your toes, stretching
your feet out, rolling your feet on a ball. I
always tell my clients that talk about foot problems
or pain to freeze a water bottle. Yeah, like
a 16 .9 ounce water bottle, like the normal,
put it in the freezer. It's very exact. But yeah,
I know my ounces. I know my water ounces. Put
it in the freezer and then roll that. under your
foot at night at the end of a day especially
if you're on your feet any shift workers anything
that will just help for many reasons but this
article that i'm going to attach to the show
notes there's so many and i it would be an only
fans if i talked to them it would just not not
where we want to go i will say that you know
i hate massages We all know I don't like to be
touched. I don't like massages. I don't like
facials. You're so disconnected and I think if
you just took your sneakers off and stood outside
in the grass and just like Tried to connect you
maybe wouldn't be such a prickly pear I think
that is the best description. No, but you didn't
let me finish my sentence. I don't like to be
touched. I don't like massages. But what I do
love are foot massages. And I hate feet. Clearly,
I don't like feet. I mean, I don't... You don't
like much. Who loves feet? I guess people on
OnlyFans. There's some kinks out there. But I
don't hate feet. I'm going to be like, oh, I
like your toe rings. I'm not disgusted by feet.
Yeah, no, no, no. I'm not disgusted either. But
I just don't like to be touched. But I know that
I love foot massages. See, I think they're painful.
I mean, that's what I feel about massages on
my back. But I feel that we're on our feet 90
% of the day. So that, I don't know. Like I just,
I love foot massages and I never get them. What
is it? Reflexology. Yes. That was fun. A reflexology
massage. I got one in New York because I had
a gift card to Bliss. Oh. Remember Bliss? Yes.
And all I could afford on their list was a foot
massage. But I did go and it was, it hurt, but
that's because just like now, I guess it wasn't
necessarily more or less. We're on our feet.
We walked a lot in New York City. You just use
your feet a lot. We weren't necessarily in high
heels walking to work, but we were constantly
on our feet. So it was painful, but I remember
it felt, at the end, I felt like I had different
feet. It just, I don't know. Well, you know,
so when I get a pedicure and my feet were really
bad because of my muscles and my tendonitis,
I had to stop getting pedicures because it hurt.
If you touched my heel, And same thing with plantar
fasciitis. I would seriously go to the ceiling.
It hurts so badly. So we know about foot pain.
We know about calf pain. And the difference in
a pair of shoes that are $25, but they look really
cute, and a pair that's fitted to your feet that
I think some things need to be spent money on.
Yeah. And I know that wasn't good sentence structure.
But I know that wasn't good sentence structure.
There are some things that you need, unfortunately,
are expensive and you need to put out the money
for them because it makes a world of difference.
It's either get a knee replacement or you bust
your knee or you spend the money on good sneakers
and it protects your knee. So it's like either
or. It's not either or. Oh, no. OK. I think that's
the point is that the quality over quantity should
be Okay, do you really need your 12th pair of
jeans because now the trend is changing and you
want a good pair of jeans Or you're gonna get
a good pair of sneakers that are gonna last you
four to six months But then your hospital bills
are way lower. Why did we switch from jeans to
sneakers? Like if you because people will justify
Like nine times out of ten people are like, oh
I need new sneakers, but they're so expensive
And that's that's me. I say that I need I'm overdue.
I also, I have the wrong sneakers for myself,
but I bought them, so I need to wear them. However,
it's killing my feet. So like, I get that. But
that's, what will you spend on? And then do that
either or. Like a good meal, one meal. Night
out for two, one meal, hundreds, something maybe.
If it's a nicer meal, I don't know where you
guys go. Maybe 200 bucks. That's a pair of shoes
for six months. Yeah, and that's I think it's
priorities like we say this all the time invest
in yourself Invest in your exercise program invest
in your sneakers invest in good workout clothes
and it will last you a long time What I'm so
sorry. I am listening. You're so right Everything
I was rushing. I know you really were like I
was on a roll, you know when I can't think of
words I was thinking of words She's banana But
I looked down to be like, okay. Well, let me
let me get my next point and instead of the article
there's an ad Erectile dysfunction treatment
at a more affordable cost And for a second I
was like, oh my god, did we mean to talk about
this? Am I are we talking about the wrong? No,
we definitely aren't talking about that. It's
an ad for him It's two dollars a dose And they're
hard mints. They're not pills, but they're 95
% cheaper than the brand name Alternatives. We
are not sponsored by them. I just had a full
conversation in my head while you were talking,
even though I was listening to you and you were
doing a really good job. But erectile dysfunction
was way more interesting to me in the moment.
So if, you know, it's an option. Well, thanks
a lot. My contribution to this podcast was just
overshadowed by erectile dysfunction. As always.
It's a real thing. As always. I just... It's
a real thing. No, we're not condemning erectile
dysfunction. It tickled me and I was just very
confused about what we were supposed to be talking
about today. That is all I had to say. But that
said, I need a new pair of sneakers. I know.
All right, so real quick, tell everybody what
your favorite pair of running sneakers are and
your favorite pair to work out at Seafit are.
And Seafit would be training and running would
be running. Yeah, I wear the new, so the running
that I've had, I wear the new balance foam, fresh
foam. It's a really thick sole. I've had a couple
different colors. I don't care about color. I
also have a pair of Skechers, Sarah. I have a
pair of Skechers that feel really good on my
feet. How dare you? I'm sorry, I don't like Skechers.
Why? New Balance, high socks, pants tucked into
your socks. Why? I've never, maybe I'm being
judgmental, but I've never seen Skechers as an
exercise shoe. I've seen them as a decorative,
maybe walking shoe or like a... Is walking not...
Exercise? No, no, no, okay. Scroll back, scroll
back. Cut that out. Nope. Skechers. Can't cut
it out. No, what's it called? Just a shoe that's
cute. What's it called? Cute shoe. No, they're
called like a, whatever. It's a cute shoe, it's
not a workout shoe. I'll think of it tomorrow.
Okay, that's not their brand. Okay. Skechers
brand is not for style. A style sneaker. Yeah,
then your style's not great. They're not for
style. They are usually branded and directed
towards I would say older women. That's what
you're thinking. No. So they don't necessarily
look cute. They're good for these are safe shoes.
These will give you comfort. These will give
you longevity of, you know, whatever you need
to do without the hassle of maybe laces. And
also maybe You know, I don't know a thicker Less
attractive for the trend type of shoe, but they
started to get into more fitness style and type
sneakers or Tennis shoes, whatever you want to
call them. I use mine just to walk the dog Alright,
so what's your favorite see fit shoe that you
were to teach? She's just gonna bypass it. Yeah,
I don't like it because And if I don't like it
I just ignore it I actually think you're getting
more unhealthy as we go. And it's either you're
getting comfortable to let us know what your
intrusive thoughts are or you're really getting
dumber. No, I think that I just, I say what I
feel now. I'm an open book. Gotcha. It's dumber.
That's what it is. She's getting dumber. That's
fine. All right. So the New Balance Fresh Foam
for I don't run anymore, but because of my Achilles,
I don't run anymore. So for walking and stuff
like that. And then I think I do have this pair
of Adidas. I know. And it's the first time I've
ever gotten them, because they were on sale at
Kohl's, I think. That's where I got them. Is
it? Yeah. Didn't I buy them for you? No, I just
bought them right before the shore. And you were
like, I own those. I thought they looked familiar.
Yeah, my dog ate them. They're wider in the box
of the foot, but they're flatter. That's new
for me. Yeah, I feel like my foot slides in it
while we're dancing and going side to side and
stuff But I have less foot pain. Mm -hmm So I
don't know if I I just need to get over that
because I can walk up Stairs without like crouching
and like taking a second. Yeah, so I don't know
I have them too and I really like them. I Don't
usually go. This is my first pair of Adidas.
I can't say they're my favorite I just right
now that's what I have. Yeah, I don't have a
closet full of sneakers like some do on this
couch, I have three. Sketchers, New Balance foam,
and these Adidas. I tend to buy sneakers and
also buy a pair for Victoria if I think they're
really cute and we need to match. Well, it's
been over 365 days since you did that. Yeah,
I haven't done that in a while because I haven't
found something other than you already have.
My fresh foam. are my absolute favorite, my new
balance. But for outside? No, I wear them to
teach. Oh God, I hate them to teach. Oh my God,
they feel like a cloud. They feel like a cloud.
I feel, especially a new pair, feels like you're
jumping on a cloud. So I'll wear them for both
running and teaching, but more for running, but
I think - That's the one where you're in a wedge,
just to remind everybody. That's the heel drop
is high. And for teaching, If I'm not wearing
the fresh one because I like to get white and
they get dirty really quickly. I am a how the
shoes look kind of person. I do like the look
of a shoe. I don't give a shoot. So, okay. What
am I wearing to teach? Every day it's new. Yeah,
I sort of just rotate. And every day the brand
is new. I like Nike. I like Adidas. I really
do like the Adidas that Victoria has, but my
dog just ate them. So yeah, Adidas would be my
teaching shoe. I can't say that this shoe is
my favorite because I only own one pair and I've
only worn them one time or for a four day stint
on a vacation. But the Aloe, the... Oh yeah.
Is that what it's called? Yeah, aloe or aloe?
Aloe, but because you said that, I've been teaching
in my Lululemon's, my really flat. I can't support
them. I guess. But I bought them two years ago,
but I'm still wearing them because I wear them
irregularly. Well, they're also quality is high.
Yeah. And it has to go with the outfit. So I
don't wear them every time, but because they're
so light. And I think that's important also for
a training show, if you're dancing and jumping,
they feel so thin that I don't feel like I have
shoes on. But we don't support Lululemon because
they don't support dancers. That's good. I was
talking about aloe, which I think are similar.
Yeah, sure. Were they the green ones you were
just talking about? Green ones and I have white
ones. So I have a white pair of really flat aloe
brands. They're crazy expensive. I'm not supporting
them. I'm not saying you need to go out and get
them. I wore them for vacation purposes because
I don't own white sneakers and I had a gift card.
So to me, they were $7 sneakers. Yes, but they're
very, very, very expensive sneakers. But because
of that, they feel really good and they're flat.
So cross training wise, I think they would be
a really good sneaker for see fit type workouts
or hit. stuff like that, that you're doing on
your own. So the same person that gave her a
gift certificate for Aloe gave me mine for Lululemon.
So technically, I didn't buy them. I had a gift
certificate. No, I don't judge like you judge.
What's up, Maria? Thank you. We love our sneakers.
Definitely don't judge, Maria. We don't. But
there, yeah, there's a On Cloud. I'm seeing a
lot more at the studio. Oh, yeah. On Cloud. Oh,
Phosie. They have a funky bottom. So aesthetically,
I think it's pleasing for those of you who care.
She said funky bottom. They do. Yeah. You're
dumb. She tried to get that in. Good job. Good
job. But they are flatter. So I think they're
perfect for lateral motion and doing a lot of
different things with your feet versus just running
straight. I don't know if they make running shoes,
but when you're looking at an online store or
you're going to a store and it says running shoe
or training shoe and you're like, whatever. No,
they're different. They are different. So now
take a notice and purchase accordingly for what
you actually need to do. If you're not a runner,
don't buy running shoes. It's very much like
if you're going to class and you're like, it's
Carly or Victoria. No, they're very different.
Yeah, don't insult me. I think the running shoe
would be very insulted. I was particularly thinking
of teaching kick -hit when everyone's like, you
guys could not be more different. Yeah. Anyway,
same with shoes. Shoes and sisters, very different.
Shoes and sisters. No one's listening to this
shoe podcast at this point. They've gotten their
