A Look At The Recent Developments In Health and Wellness Footwear

A whole new class of footwear is now being made to help us lead a more healthy life. Exercise or wellness shoes can enhance your posture, eliminate cellulite, relieve lower body agony, and tone your legs simply by walking in them. At least, thatis what the companies are informing us, and with guarantees like that, we all just have to get a pair and see for ourselves.

These new comfortable walking sandals are everywhere, and Reebok is the most recent and most plain manufacturer to jump 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 28 %.

FitFlop was one of first to tout the exercise powers of its footwear. Its trademark is ‘Get a workout while you walk’ and they are 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 state of the art Micro-wobbleboard which increases muscle tension and tones and firms you while you walk. Read the testimonials on the FitFlop site and youwill 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 agony.

Masai Barefooted Technology ( MBT ) makes a different kind of exercise shoe. Wearing MBT footwear can give masses of good results, including reduced body pain, toning and buttressing, improving posture and helping with other physical infirmities. These shoes have built in pressure distribution mechanisms which create steady unsteadiness 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 perfectly align your body for great posture, straightforward breathing, and no back trouble. The Earth vegan shoes new trademark is ‘Burn more calories with each 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 like MBT shoes, with a rocker bottom that is very announced on some styles. Skechers appeal mainly to young people and Shape Ups are no exception, and their radical looks would possibly not be for some of the people. They guarantee to tone your muscles and promote healthy weight loss while you walk or workout with them.

Chung Shi one-upped everybody else with the arrival of their exercise shoes. They promise to ‘work legs 257% harder’ than standard shoes. They also claim a built-in Pilates system that uses a patent-protected bar in the center, and a 15 degree curved sole. What all this means is that the shoes don’t sit flat, and your body must constantly adjust to re-balance itself. There is also evidence that these shoes cause far less result on ankle and knee joints, so they are excellent for those recovering from joint wounds.

While the jury is out on the effectiveness of these shoes, it appears that one just desires to try them for two weeks to decide if they live up to their claims.
