  • I only count heavy duty/extended length of cleaning because in my mind my everyday cleaning is included in my activity level. JMO:smile:
  • Very light weight and basically no support. They are supposed to mimic barefoot running. I will say that I learned the other night that they are much more made for running (where you are striking on the front portion of your foot) than for walking (where you generally hit on your heel first).

  • I've been very "good" and other than a quick trip out to get my daughter's christmas present yesterday, i have been a total couch potato. Icing and elevating are my new middle names :-).
