EBI Korean Support Shoes
posted by: freePOrnaoa in General on June 23rd, 2010
I’m working in LA, and have had a chance to eat some really terrific Korean food in Garden Grove, a very Korean suburb, while I’m at it. If you’re ever there, check out Morangak, where the barbecued meat and vegetables were fresh and delicious. Here are a couple photos to entice you.
In every major city I visit, but particularly in LA, Korean food and products, as well as Korean spas, have long been my salvation from expensive mainstream products.
Why do some Korean women have such amazing skin? It’s not magic. It’s because they eat tons of antioxidant-loaded greens, kimchi and tea (green, barley, plum, persimmon, etc.), obsess over their creams, zealously protect with hats, ugly visors, staying inside and sunglasses, and spend lots of time at the Korean spa having facials and scrubs done. And any woman can follow that formula. I have used the Korean lotions and cleansers from Amore and Laneige for years, and they are much cheaper than Shiseido, with the same end results.
I’ve written about traditional Korean shoes and girly Korean shoes in Korea before. But lately I’ve been wondering about whether I can get Korean shoes here in LA. So far, all I’ve come across are a few pairs of excellent support shoes for cheaper prices at Home Mart in LA, but tomorrow I’m going to Koreatown again to check out a few shops, so if I find anything good for the ladies lacking foot problems, I’ll report back soon.
In the meantime, I highly recommend these support shoes. My mum tried them on and said they were very comfortable. Made for standing for long periods or walking, they are shaped to roll as you walk and have a high arch support for those who are sadly flat-footed (yours truly will probably be wearing them by age 35 while all my beautiful shoes sit in the closet).
You can check your sizes for Ebi shoes by calling Home Mart at (213) 908-0807. They are located at 808 S. Western.

Oh, also, all of the aforementioned info applies to 'Fit Flops' or any other flip-flop style thong sandal that is making completely proven, FALSE claims of the ability of the sandal to tone or tighten anything on your body by simply walking around in them. Don't waste your money on garbage, magical fitness shoes, rather, invest in a good pair of running shoes and hit the pavement or a treadmill!

All of the research and testing performed at by professionals (Orthopaedic physicians, sports medicine MD's, etc.) at various universities and athletic training and rehab facilities has failed to support the COMPLETELY false claims being made by Reebok, New Balance, Skechers, etc. These shoes are just another scam targeting women who want a magic bullet fix for a soft, sagging derriere and flabby thighs. Good old fashioned, tried and true, exercise will produce results that these 'magic' shoes will not.

No, didn't feel at all similar. They were much more supportive. The problem I have with Skechers is that they are too soft and unsteady on the sole. There's too much cushy padding that makes it unstable. These are very stable.

Maybe they're growing on her. Or maybe she found another brand that is competing in this new niche & thought it deserves a little time in the light that a larger company like Skechers might get from sheer market exposure. But, she reads her comments, so I expect she'll chime in when she has time.
I still haven't tried a pair myself & reserve judgment. But, a lot of women are swearing by them (skechers, rebok balance, MBT). So long as you don't try to run in them & it's something that makes you aware of the need to walk & move more, the inevitable result can't help but be positive – whichever 'rocker shoe' style you chose. Which reminds me, I need to add time back into my schedule to visit my occasionally overlooked weight bench.

Those support shoes look just like Sketchers' shape-ups, which you did not have favorable comments for. Am I wrong?
