You'd have to search pretty hard to find someone more skeptical than me. I have a sticker glued on my computer that I got from the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry. The sticker says "I Doubt It!" I'm not from Missouri, but I'll bet I could give any resident of the "Show-Me State" some lessons on skepticism.

With that said, you'll realize why I was very skeptical when I first found out about the purported health benefits of Beech Yoga Sandals. I don't even remember when I first came across them, but it was probably while I was searching on-line for non-surgical ways to relieve the chronic back pain that my wife has suffered for years. I read some testimonials and reviews of these Yoga Sandals, and figured I had nothing to lose by ordering a pair for her.

Well, all I can say is that they really do work. One of our hobbies is international cooking, and we often spend five or six hours a day standing in the kitchen preparing exotic, multi-course ethnic meals. Wearing these sandals REALLY improved my wife's stamina in being able to stand for long periods of time. She has said that she wouldn't be able to do it if she didn't have them. I tried a pair myself, although I do not have back problems, and I found them to be very comfortable and helpful in reducing the heel pain that I sometimes experience after standing for a long time. They have become my go-to sandals for errands, shopping and even for road trips.

What's left to say? If you have back or leg problems, you should give them a try. You may be pleasantly surprised. The beneficial health effects of Beech Yoga Sandals are not something to be skeptical about.
