We believe in the capitalist system. We believe people should be able to make money
and come up with new inventions and sell products. That's all great
and we encourage that.
The problem is you can't sell snake oil.
You can't sell junk.
You can't tell people they are going to get a benefit from something when they're not.
And the reality is,
people like
to lose weight
easily.
They want the magic pill and they want to take a quick-fix diet.
They want to get the thigh master. They want the latest fad.
The thing was, was the latest fad. If you could wear sneakers and lose weight, hey!
Who doesn't want to lose weight
just by wearing sneakers?
So, it was a brilliant marketing idea.
You couple that with the fact that you can wear them to work and you don't have to do anything else
except wear shoes and lose weight,
it was a nice hook.
And frankly it worked.
It worked because they sold a lot of
of these shoes.
It was only until folks started getting hurt really bad wearing these shoes
that the fraudulent nature of this came to light.
