A Few Extra Benefits Of Toning Footwear The latest innovation in fitness footwear – toning shoes – which promise a free lower body workout just by walking around normally to their wearers, are proving to be extremely popular with women worldwide. Sales figures have grown exponentially over the last two years or so, and the sales volume for 2010 is forecast to be somewhere in the range of 1 and 1.5 billion when the full results become available. Designs vary from manufacturer to manufacturer – but the common theme is a specially designed sole which generates a small amount of imbalance during normal walking activity. This means that the leg and butt muscles have to work a little bit harder in order to try and maintain the body’s natural balance. And that’s how the toning workout is achieved. The main toning shoe manufacturers – Reebok, Masai Barefoot Technology (MBT) Shoes and FitFlops – have all performed tests to prove the efficacy of their products. However, many query the validity of the results on the basis that the various trials were funded by the footwear manufacturers. User based feedback and testimonials seem to be very positive on the whole. There is no shortage of glowing reviews from satisfied users. It’s monster beats studio ferrari headphone noteworthy that a high percentage of satisfied customers advise of benefits which aren’t actually claimed by the footwear manufacturers. Reduction of foot pain or joint pain is a commonly reported outcome. Perhaps it shouldn’t be so surprising. After all, Masai Barefoot Technology shoes were initially developed to help alleviate back pain after their inventor, Karl Muller, found that walking barefoot across a Korean rice field helped to relieve his back pain. Having carried out some follow up research, he fount that Africa’s Masai tribesmen don’t suffer from anything like the same level of lower back pain as westerners, and that they are famous for their good posture. He went on to develop MBT shoes which, using their specially engineered sole, reproduce the mechanics of walking barefoot across soft ground. Wearers of FitFlops are also more likely to tell you about how comfortable they are rather than to wax lyrical about the toning benefits. It appears as if a lot of wearers consider the possible toning effects to be almost a bonus rather than the main reason for having these shoes. The fact that the most recent Fit Flops release is a clog targeted primarily at doctors, nurses and other shift workers who spend long periods of time on their feet throughout the course of their working day/night is significant. The comfortable fit comes about due to the fact that the toning sole design, as well as delivering the much discussed and debated toning effects, spreads the body’s weight over the sole of the foot in a more uniform manner. The FitFlop company website reports that founder Marcia Kilgore was repeatedly lobbied – in elevators, grocery stores and planes – to release a FitFlop especially designed for shift workers who spend a long time on their feet at work. Hence the appearance (in the UK only, for the moment at least) of the latest FitFlop Gogh Pro – a clog very similar studio Ferrari over-ear headphone to the existing ones in the FitFlop range but with the addition of a pivoting heel strap for a secure fit and a no-slip, no-marking sole.
