Ropix Review and Giveaway

Exercising is important to me. I try to exercise a few times a week, even though that's not always a possiblity for me. I like to wear comfortable shoes that have the proper support level for my fitness routine. I do a lot of cardio and jumping and I want to make sure my feet don't suffer from wearing the wrong shoes. Thanks to Ropix my feet will be smiling instead of crying! :)



History of Ropix as told by the creator:
Ropix started as an idea in a boxing gym in NYC in 1991. As all boxers do, I began to incorporate jumping rope into my training. Before long I knew I did not have the right shoes. The more I jumped, the more I hurt later in the day. After a long search, I discovered that there were no proper shoes available for this purpose. Boxing shoes didn't have any cushioning, and running shoes had too much cushioning. I discovered that the "cross-trainer" is the recommended shoe for jump rope. As the name implies, these shoes are for multiple purposes and attempt to cover a wide range of activities. The "cross-trainer" was invented more as a marketing need rather than an equipment requirement. In fact, The American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine supports the policy of sports-specific shoes and advises against the use of cross training shoes for most uses.

Years later, I finally decided to create a shoe that would fit this need. Ropix are the first of its kind, not only specific to jumping rope, but suitable for all forefoot activities. Because of the tailored cushioning, Ropix are beneficial for any sport or activity that place impact on the balls of your feet. They are also lightweight, comfortable and perfect for casual wear.

Ropix is perfect for a person's active lifestyle. The shoes support in many different ways.

I was sent a pair of the Turbo black and silver shoes for review. I am in love with them!



I love the combination of the black and silver together, it's very modern and stylish. The shoe fits me comfortably which is very important. It's not too big or too small, but just perfect! I've never owned a pair of fitness shoes before with velcro closures. I think it will come in handy because there are no laces to come untied at a very inconvenient time. The shoes feel very lightweight when wearing them. I did a cardio workout tonight at home to test these shoes out. I incorporate a jump rope into my workouts for an extra added boost of cardio. I usually wear a pair of shoes that hurt my feet after, but I never knew of a solution until finding out about these shoes. I wore these shoes during my workout and at the end my feet did not hurt at all like they normally do. The shoes provided stability and comfort as well. I was impressed, shocked, and extremely pleased. These shoes were the answer to my foot problems! I will definitely be trading in my old shoes for these new wonderful Ropix's!

Thanks to Ropix for revamping my workout completely!
