An entire new class of footwear is now being designed to help us lead a more fit life. Exercise or wellness shoes can improve your posture, eliminate cellulite, relieve lower body discomfort, and tone your legs simply by walking in them. At least, that’s what the companies are enlightening us, and with promises like that, we all just have to get a pair and see for ourselves.
These new comfort walking shoes are everywhere, and Reebok is the most recent and most plain manufacturer to leap on this very profitable bandwagon, with their commercials showing a super-slim model with a nicely toned rear and legs. Reebok’s EasyTone promises’better legs and a better butt with every step.’ Their EasyTone sole technology mimics walking on sand, and they claim wearing these shoes will improve the muscle tone in your calves, hamstrings, and glutes by as much as twenty-eight p.c.
FitFlop was one of first to tout the exercise powers of its shoes. Its trademark is ‘Get a workout while you walk’ and they’re serious about it with an enlargement away from the original flip flops into a full line of shoes, boots, and even house slippers. FitFlop shoes contain a revolutionary Micro-wobbleboard which increases muscle stress and tones and firms you while you walk. Read the testimonials on the FitFlop site and you will be hunting out the best spot to buy them! Women talked about feeling like they’d worked out for hours after wearing them, and others reported reduced foot, back, and leg discomfort.
Masai Barefoot Technology (MBT) makes a different sort of exercise shoe. Wearing MBT boots can give lots of excellent results, including reduced body agony, toning and buttressing, improving posture and helping with other physical infirmities. These shoes have built-in pressure distribution mechanisms which create constant unstableness in your feet, which in turn causes your muscles to efficiently counteract that slight motion and tone you up in the process.
Earth Shoes makes shoes with negative heel technology that helps to completely align your body for great posture, simple breathing, and no back trouble. The Earth shoes new trademark is ‘Burn more calories with every step’ and their advertising claims that you burn four times as many calories wearing these shoes than you do wearing ordinary shoes.
Skechers Shape Ups appear similar to MBT shoes, with a rocker bottom that is very told on some styles. Skechers appeal typically to younger people and Shape Ups are no exception, and their novel looks would possibly not be for a few individuals. They promise to firm up your muscles and promote healthy weight management while you walk or workout with them.
Chung Shi one-upped everyone else with the arrival of their exercise footwear. They promise to ‘work legs 257% harder’ than standard shoes. They also claim a built in Pilates system that utilizes a patent-protected bar in the middle, and a 15 degree curved sole. What all this means is that the shoes don’t sit flat, and your body must consistently adjust to re-balance itself. There is also evidence that these shoes cause much less impact on ankle and knee joints, so they are excellent for those recovering from joint injuries.
While the jury is out on the effectiveness of these shoes, it appears that one just needs to try them for a fortnight to decide if they live up to their claims.
