11.06.09 START BUYING THESE SHOES ALREADY

When Reebok came out with the first ad for its EasyTone shoes that supposedly work your glutes and hamstrings more than other shoes, I was both surprised and pleased at the blatant sex appeal they used to sell their product. However, with two new spots (see below), Reebok has made it clear that it’s not just one sexy ad: it’s a sexy ad campaign. And it’s gonna deliver nothing but great-looking asses and oiled-up legs.

Some people have wondered why Reebok is using ads with sexy women to sell a product to women, but there’s a little model for success that you may have heard of called “Victoria’s Secret.” Seriously, it’s almost Christmas time and I’m thinking about buying EasyTones for any and all female acquaintances. “Hey honey, give these a chance. If they work like they’re supposed to, we should go out.”

I think this marks the first time I’ve heard the word “boobs” in a commercial.

So this is what it feels like when doves cry.

88% of men speechless? 76% of women jealous? Really? It’s amazing how little society has grown since the days of Mad Men. Are they selling women’s shoes, or Peggy’s Rejuvenator?

I’ve never been to this website before, but just searched google to get the name of the shoes that are touting being able to make my butt look better. In the ’70’s, there were shoes by Famolare called Get There, with waved soles, and they were very comfortable to walk in, waitressing at the time. I’m hoping these are just as comfortable, with the possible added bonus of making my butt look great (well, greater than it already does…). Great ad, in my opinion – I’m off to the mall!
