The fitness footwear market sector is a massive, and profitable, business. 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. It seems that all you need to do is to pull on a different pair of shoes and you will instantly be transformed into a professional athlete.
Toning shoes are the latest example of this phenomenon. 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.
This is done thanks to a special design of sole which introduces a small element of instability into the walking process. The lower body muscles respond by trying to restore the body’s natural equilibrium, which makes them work a little harder than normal.
