Many of us are constantly searching for an easy way that we can stay in shape. While dieting and going to the gym can work for some people some of us find excuses not to stick to it. Thankfully a number of sports shoe manufacturers have launched trainer and flip flop ranges that they claim will help improve posture and tone your calf, thigh and buttock muscles. It sounds like a dream come true but do these shoes really work miracles and more importantly do they look good?
Fitflops were the first brand to enter the UK marketplace with their range of Fitflop sandals. ?FitFlop sandals come with a Microwobbleboard that is held within the base of the flip flop. The Microwobbleboard gives the Fitflop a variable density across the base. The heel is high density to reduce impact,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the toe is mid density while the middle is low density. This creates an unstable effect that causes your feet and legs to work more and become stable.

All Skechers shape ups contain a kinetic wedge insert that creates a dynamic rolling effect that mimics walkingonsand. This causes your heel to sink into the heel of the shoe providing a cushioned support that then forces the rest of your foot to compensate and roll forward. The effect is one that causes your muscles to work to support your body more and therefore helps to develop a more toned and strengthened leg. The other benefits include reducing body fat,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], improved posture as well as relieving muscle and joint pain.
The latest range to incorporate the Microwobbleboard are the FitFlop boots that are for the winter. Thankfully this means that you can now benefit from the effect of Fitflop boots and sandals all year round. Fitflops are great for people who enjoy wearing flip flops on a regular basis and the range of styles available is beginning to increase making them a healthy alternative.
All of these footwear brands have marketed their footwear mainly to women as a means to improve their legs and bum with little effort. All of these footwear companies have conducted scientific studies into the effects of their products and most of them do have the benefit of improving posture and balance. However they aren’t a replacement for healthy eating and exercise but they would make a good accompaniment.
