The fitness footwear market is a multi-million dollar enterprise. It’s amazing just how many people will readily hand over in excess of $ 100 for a pair of “super shoes” that they hope will help them to jump higher, run faster, jog longer etc. – the list goes on and on. It’s as if all you need to do is pull on a different pair of shoes and you’ll be transformed into an Olympic athlete in an instant.
It’s a trend that has always been present – and it has now peaked with the concept of toning shoes. Toning shoes promise their wearers a lower body workout by doing nothing other than wearing them and walking around as they normally would throughout the course of the day.
Toning shoes use a special design of sole which introduces a small amount of imbalance into the process of walking. As a result of this, the leg and buttock muscles work a little harder than normal as they attempt to restore the natural equilibrium of the body.
