Daily shoes that strengthen your legs?

I'm sort of a lazy walker by nature. I've seen commercials for Skechers shoes that say the strengthen or train you to walk better? I've heard these shoes aren't great, was wondering if there are any regular shoes that would do what I'm looking for? Thanks
 
I haven't seen the advert or the shoes that you are talking about but I can safely say that they won't help to strengthen your legs.
 
Joe Montana wears them, and he is a Super Bowl MVP.
If you wear them, you might become one too!
 
Wood based clogs will strengthen your calves. They're supposed to be comfortable for being on your feet all day. As a side benefit, you're likely to get new boyfriends :^D

Get off your lazy ass and go for a 20 min walk at minimum a day. Magic shoes are not the answer.

Or, find a job that requires you to walk a lot, or at least stand on your feet for 10 - 12 hours a day.

From 1986 - 1999, I worked in welding shops, no sitting down there, on your feet moving steel for 8 - 12 hours a day.
 
haha you guys crack me up. I surf, I'm going to be playing in on of the top tennis leagues, I run a little, I hike. For some reason the way I walk? I have fairly weak calves. I used to play bball but my vertical leap was non existent. Even with all that I'm not explosive playing bball or I'd like to be a bit faster on the tennis court. I'm a competitor so in our tennis league I'd really like to be in shape but of course I'm also a desk worker 10-12 hrs a day and the gym is not exciting for me.
 
Who cares if the gym isn't exciting for you? Do you think insulin shots are exciting for people with diabetes? Do you think reporting in to their parole officer is fun for ex-convicts? NO. But you just do it anyway you fat sack. FUCK.
 
Gyms are stupid. The work is boring, and replaces the work you removed from your life by buying labor saving devices. If you have a lawn, get an old school reel mower. They work well, and you'll accomplish something with your effort. If you want an extreme workout, let the grass get long. I've found that reel mowers brutally punish laziness, and I only skipped a week of mowing ONCE :^D

Southern California USTA leagues are on avg a lot better than other sections. And I'll be playing with ex Div 1 college players. But hey make it worth my while and I'll fly over to where you live and play you. Can even have an ATOT crowd to laugh at the loser. Ok, I like the Jimmy shoes but no I'm not walking around the office in those.

Just wanted to say gyms aren't stupid, if you are doing a proper workout with barbells then most people will want to go to the gym (unless you are willing to invest in and maintain a home set).

OP: There are no such thing as special shoes to make your legs stronger. If you want strong legs, learn how to perform a proper full squat and start a beginner's strength training workout (check out Starting Strength or Stronglifts 5x5).

oooooooooooh 🙄

I never played tennis competitively nor claimed to be good, it was just funny to see 'one of the top leagues' with no qualifier.


nice e-peen though
 
If it's just your vertical you're concerned about, calf work isn't a necessity. If it's overall agility, you probably already have that.
 
These will give you super legs.....

I gave up the car and biked for a year. Best thing i did. I couldn't keep weight on. now that I have a kid i spit my time 50/50 between the bike and car. great for the legs...
