What Can They Do For You
There can't be much doubt that the combination of a healthy diet with regular exercise is the best way to get into shape and keep your fitness level up. Nevertheless,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], looking for short cuts, "multi-tasking if you prefer, is just human nature - which is perfectly understandable when you consider the fact that, despite all of our labor saving gadgets and devices, many people are pressed for time these days.
So, the latest innovation in fitness footwear - "toning shoes" - which promise to help wearers tone and trim their lower body just by walking around as normal,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], must be a very welcome development for a lot of people. It's a tantalising prospect - but how do they work? For that matter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], do they work?
Consumers can choose from a number of different brands and styles of toning shoes. A special design of sole seems to be the common thread which links all of the major toning shoe brands. The design of the sole varies from one brand to another,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but most of them seem to operate on the principle of generating a small element of instability in the walking process. The lower body muscles respond by trying to re-establish the natural balance of the body. That means that they do a little more work than during normal walking, and that's how the toning effect is achieved. Some toning shoes also claim to amend posture and gait - but the introduction of imbalance seems to be the primary consideration.
Skechers, with their Shape Up Shoes range, are the current toning shoe market leaders. They have a thick,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], chunky, rocker type sole with a kinetic insert. This replicates the mechanics of walking barefoot across soft sand and promotes a gentle rolling motion as well as introducing the required imbalance.
MBT (Masai Barefoot Technology) Shoes, also have a rocker type sole which is somewhat similar in appearance to that used in Skechers Shape Ups. MBT shoes were the brainchild of a Swiss engineer, Karl Muller, who was walking barefoot across a rice field in Korea when he noticed that his back pain,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a perennial problem for him,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was quite a bit better than normal. He did some research and found that Africa's Masai tribesmen,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who mainly walk barefoot,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], are known for their good posture and rarely suffer from back pain. He then developed MBT shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], primarily to help back pain sufferers, but the toning benefits are now being actively promoted.
Reebok Easy Tones have a markedly different sole design. EasyTones generate the required imbalance using special air pads built into their soles. An ex-NASA engineer designed this system - so there is clearly some science at the back of it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. They are turning out to be extremely popular and are currently in second place in the toning shoe market irrespective of their somewhat tardy appearance.
FitFlops might be thought of as the joker in the toning shoes pack. They are colorful, chic and fun! FitFlops originated in the UK as a range of flip flop type sandals with a specially designed sole which uses different densities of material in different areas. This results in instability being generated during walking due to, what FitFlops call, the " microwobbleboard" effect. The FitFlops range has now expanded to include sneakers, slippers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], clogs and boots in order to meet customer demand.
One of the key differences between FitFlops and many other toning shoes, is the fact that FitFlops don't look anything like fitness footwear - and that means that they can be worn in settings where athletic style shoes might be unsuitable. FitFlop wearers can therefore use them more often to get great value for money using their funky toning shoes. It's also worth noting that FitFlops are well known for their extreme comfort. The microwobble board toning sole is designed to provide extra support,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], especially in the area of the arch,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and this reduces the average pressure on the sole of the foot,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and makes FitFlops incredibly comfortable to wear and to walk in.
A variety of tests and trials have been performed or commissioned by the footwear manufacturers in order to prove that their products do what they claim. There is also a host of user feedback from satisfied customers happy to testify that toning shoes are the real deal. Needless to say, there are those - including the American Council for Exercise (ACE) who query the results and doubt whether toning shoes do what the makers claim.
Even so, busy women - soccer moms and career women alike - have really taken to toning shoes and helped to ensure that they are a huge success. Even assuming that toning shoes work as the manufacturers claim, there's no way that they can be considered as a replacement for a well balanced healthy diet combined with regular exercise. However, they may very well prove to be a useful way of increasing the effectiveness of your existing exercise program - and if they encourage people to walk more often than normal then that's a good result in itself.
