The battle against cellulite, those nasty little pockets of fat that hug, hug, hug your thighs, has raged for years. Miracle creams, massages and pumping machines boast iffy results.
The latest weapon is a pair of sneakers.
Not just any old shoes, of course: Masai Barefoot Technology Sneakers. Marcia Kilgore, the owner of New York’s Bliss Spa, found them in Britain, where one study showed they reduced cellulite by 50 percent in a month, according to dailycandy.com.
They are not the prettiest shoes you’ll ever wear. But the Bliss catalog claims they tone muscles, improve your balance and posture and help erase varicose veins. All you have to do is stroll.
The bad news is they are $234 and wait-listed until the end of May. The good news is you have enough time to save your money. Find them on www.blissworld.com.
