Sketcher Shoes: Sports and Fitness Apparel

The Shoe is designed to replicate the feel of a soft surface (much like walking on sand) and the natural rolling of your feet on soft surfaces actually works out some of the muscles in your legs and buttocks.

We all love fitness, some of us like me love to think more about fitness than actually doing it, although this is not generally our choice, as we have very little time to spend keeping in shape.This prompted me in to looking for something that fits in with our daily life, and helps us exercise by doing something we already do each day. Although I initially looked in the weight loss and keep fit areas and found some great products, they all required us to do something different in our lives. I then came across a shoe, the manufactures claimed that this shoe was designed with seven different areas of health in mind. At first this seemed a little strange but on further inspection and viewing some of the test results the evidence was there. You can actually improve your health simply by changing your shoes. (In all fairness you must walk some distance of be on your feet for these to work without you changing your lifestyle). So how does it all work? The Shoe is designed to replicate the feel of a soft surface (much like walking on sand) and the natural rolling of your feet on soft surfaces actually works out some of the muscles in your legs and buttocks. The way this helps is by changing your natural walking position in to what can only be described as an effortless mini workout. Muscle tone and grow stronger by simply contracting and relaxing, but rolling your feet in a walking fashion your muscles are naturally doing all the work without you doing anything to prompt it, this simple theory was put to the test by the manufacture of these shoes. You can read a full report on how they work here Skecher Shoes During a six week testing process, 6 participants were instructed to wear the Skechers Shoes in their normal every day life, after the six weeks the results of the test are as follows 1. An Average of 3.25 pounds LOST 2. An Average or 1.125% reduction in body fat 3. An Average improvement of Glutei Strength by 41% 4. An average improvement of lower back endurance of 37% As you can see from these results simply by changing your shoes can improve your health, however it is important to note that even though these shoes have shown great improvement for those people, you may also want to combine these shoes with a fitness, or walking workout. The shoe itself is more than just a fitness shoe, it has a certain trend about it which attracted me to it in the first place (being a reviewer of shoes I notice these things). All round I give these shoes the thumbs up.
