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

These new comfortable sandals for walking are everywhere, and Reebok is the newest 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 guarantees’better legs and a better butt with each 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 footwear. Its trademark is ‘Get a workout while you walk’ and they are serious about it with an expansion 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 tension and tones and firms you while you walk. Read the testimonials on the FitFlop site and you will be searching out the best place 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 Barefoot Technology (MBT) makes a different sort of exercise shoe. Wearing MBT men’s sandals can give masses of good results, including reduced body agony, toning and buttressing, improving posture and aiding with other physical infirmities. These shoes have built-in pressure distribution mechanisms which create constant instability in your feet, which in turn causes your muscles to efficiently counteract that slight motion and tone you up in the method.

Earth Shoes makes shoes with negative heel technology that helps to completely align your body for great posture, simple breathing, and no back stiffness. The Earth women’s shoes new trademark is ‘Burn more calories with every step’ and their advertising claims that you burn 4 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 extremely told on some styles. Skechers appeal mainly to young people and Shape Ups are no exception, and their novel looks may not be for some people. They promise to tone your muscles and promote healthy weight management while you walk or workout with them.

Chung Shi one-upped everybody else with the arrival of their exercise footwear. They guarantee to ‘work legs 257% harder’ than standard shoes. They also claim a built in Pilates system that uses a patented bar in the middle, and a fifteen 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 proof that these shoes cause a lot less effect on ankle and knee joints, so they are excellent for those getting over joint wounds.

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 measure up to their claims.
