Hi, Ilena:

Nikken CardioStrides is the best product, in my opinion, since I've been a

distributor for the past 4 years. I am passionate about my health.

Everyone I know, it seems, want to lose weight and stay in better shape,

but we don't for lack of time or are too tired and don't do it.

Time Magazine allowed Nikken to take its article on walking and Nikken

used it for their own brochure.

For anyone in our group, I'll be happy to sell at wholesale (no profit to

me). I hope you have some interest. It may be a way for some of the

ladies to have a part-time job to help themselves financially, too.

Thank you.

CardioStrides makes them extremely comfortable. The double insole layer

helps to absorb shocks while providing perfect fit. An outer sole is also

thicker than on most athletic shoes, for more cushioning. The padded instep

base and tongue add comfort. Finally, full-surround ankle padding is not

only cushiony but provides better ankle support. The outer cover is made of

natural and synthetic leather for the right mix of softness and durability.

Nylon and urethane add strength. The sole is abrasion-resistant. Special

adhesives and stitching are used for even greater resistance to wear and

longer product life. CardioStrides, when worn during normal daily activity

and low-impact exercise, are safe for almost everyone: men and women,

office workers, athletes, students. Make CardioStrides shoes part of your

plan for achieving better health and fitness.¬Ý ¬Ý ¬Ý ¬Ý

Compare CardioStrides to ankle weights. Extra weight can impose stress on

an unsupported ankle.¬Ý ¬Ý ¬Ý ¬Ý Wraparound ankle weights don'Äôt provide

the support necessary to avoid strain.¬Ý ¬Ý ¬Ý ¬Ý CardioStrides feature a

braced and padded ankle for greater protection.¬Ý ¬Ý ¬Ý ¬Ý Consider
