Hey NGR,

I am looking for a new pair of shoes soon to go jogging/running in and workout and would like some more info. The website does not answer my particular questions maybe because maybe they are TOO particular, wanted to know if you can help me out:

1) Is the one model the only men's shoe you have?

Answer: We just launched these so yes, they are the only model we have for now. They are styled like a hybrid golf/workout shoe and have a semi-studded bottom for extra traction. This is to keep them very versatile and multi-usage.

A study commissioned by the American Council on Exercise, the nonprofit body that certifies fitness professional, finds that some toning shoes have the same impact on heart rate, VO2 Max, and calories burned as regular running shoes. What do they recommend to instead to "Rev Up Your Walking Workout"? Basically carrying extra weight. Read below:

Hi NGR.

Received my NGR shoes a couple weeks ago and absolutely love them! I wear them around the house all day, even after I've worked out for the morning. I just wanted to make one comment on sizing of the shoes. I originally ordered a size 7.5, upon your recommendation, since I wear a size 7. However, upon receipt, they still felt short, with my toes touching the tip of the inside of the shoe. I returned the size 7.5, and ordered the size 8, and these fit perfectly.

Thanks!!

Who would have thought - NGR Shoes got a great review from an Irish customer. A loving husband gives his wife the gift of fitness for 2010! We're glad we can help.

"Happy New Year to you and a big thanks for all your help.
My wife finally got to open one of her presents on Christmas which of course was your NGR runners.

Did you catch that! Giuliana Rancic loves her NGR Shoes! Great way to burn extra calories, tone your legs and butt, and stay fit within your everday routine.

A real gym on your feet!

Yes, you can use NGR Shoes to workout however we do not recommend you run with them. NGR Shoes are specifically designed for walking and increasing the resistance of a workout. They can be used on the treadmill and are especially effective when used in conjunction with a stair master routine or jumping rope. However, they should not be used for running as running is very high impact and already puts a lot of strain on the body and joint.

Another great review!

Hey Laurence!!

"I read Jennifer's book back to front and enjoyed it - thank you for delivering it. She has some good exercises in there and good approach to eating. I like the have one night a week that allows cheating and she mentioned a bottle of red wine. That works for me!"

Hi Jennifer,

I am now the proud owner of your wonderful book and think it's beyond anything I've read yet as far as nutritional advice, exercise, lifestyle tips, and motivation, etc. I absolutely love the "inner rock star" quips and advice laced throughout and am anxious to now give it to my 12 year old daughter to read because you are the ultimate role model.

Warm regards,

Joanne

We recently got a few questions from an NGR Shoe customer we thought we should share with everyone. Thanks for the questions: keep them coming!

A customer recently emailed me because they have lost their motivation (see email below). I kept their name anonymous for obvious reasons but wanted to share their message with you because this issue touches us all at some point or another. More importantly, I think this is one of those things that we can overcome with the right help. See the customer's comment and my reply below:

NGR shoes add so much to my workout! I can't believe the support and comfort. They really cradle my feet during every stride. I think they're the most comfortable shoes I own. And I get the extra calorie burn I crave thanks to the midsole while I head to and from the gym. I have and continue to recommend these shoes to anyone that considers maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I love my shoes!"

"I love my NGR shoes! They are comfortable, sporty, and also are helping me finally correct my horrible posture. I love doing some mat exercises with them. I am hoping to see some great results. The NGR team is very dedicated and helpful regardless of the situation. They really do put the customer first and work to make sure you are happy. I had some problems getting my shoes delivered and Laurence from NGR was very kind, patient, and really helped me sort through this mess and get me my shoes. Thank you, Laurence. I am a very happy customer. "
