Hi, I'm Sarah. For me, there's nothing better than the feeling of finding that perfect pair of shoes—the ones that fit just right, feel comfortable, and are truly "you." I'm sure you've been there, just like me: you get excited about a pair of shoes online, only to feel disappointed when they arrive. That’s exactly why I see my job as a mission: to experience everything first, for you. I'll take them everywhere and put them through their paces in all conditions to share the real story: Are they as comfortable as advertised? Are they as durable as people say? And most importantly, do they actually bring you joy when you wear them? Ultimately, my goal is simply to share what I’ve experienced firsthand, combine it with what other reviewers are saying, and give you the most honest picture possible. This way, you can decide for yourself if the shoes you're considering are truly worth it. I hope my findings help you on your journey!
Last Tuesday, my workout buddy Sarah mentioned she’d been struggling to find reliable everyday running shoes that could handle both her morning jogs and her busy work schedule as a nurse.

A few minutes’ workout, say 20 minutes, on a treadmill, feels almost like an eternity. The feeling of fatigue makes you hope that you are seriously burning calories. The calories you burn will be determined by whether you run, walk or jog. Your size is also a determining factor of the calories you are likely to burn. By setting the treadmill at an inclined angle, the rate at which you burn calories will increase. How Does a Treadmill Work? Treadmill running is far much easier because one does not experience resistance from the wind. To simulate conditions similar to those…
