It’s been a while since I have last blogged on footwear as unfortunately time has not been kind to me. However a new model of running shoe has forced me to commit some time and put my virtual pen to paper again, and that is the Nike Air Pegasus+ 28. I have never been much a fan of Nike running shoes, not that there is anything wrong with them of course, just that I have always gone for other brands. When I run I tend to go off road and Merrell has long been my favourite brand for venturing...

OK, this post has nothing to do with footwear or fitness, nor does it deal with improving your health. However I felt that I had to comment on SOPA and PIPA to help to explain why this new legislation is so bad. PROTESTS ABOUT SOPA AND PIPA ARE NOT ABOUT ALLOWING INTERNET PIRACY To the casual observer it would appear that the opposition to these bills is coming from software pirates and illegal downloaders, who are objecting to their illegal file sharing being made more difficult. However...

The designers of Trimsole sandals have been hard at work of late. The sandals were launched with a handful of great styles, but it seems that to the powers that be, it just wasn’t enough. The design team appears to have been given a brief to have some fun with all that EVA foam rubber, and have now come up with even more sexy new Trimsole sandal styles. It seems that they have really gone to town, with not just a few more styles hitting the market, but quite literally a shed full of them....

So much so in fact, that there are some amazing discounts to be had, but only for those who purchase TODAY!

The Trimsole collection is perfect for summer with the cool range of Trimsole sandals, and great for midwinter with warm and toasty Trimsole boots, but these are both one season shoes, possibly 2 at a push. The latest Trimsole trainers have the same benefits as the sandals which launched the range, but have a design which is much better suited for year round use. Trimsole Bumpers are the first trainers released by the toning shoe company, and the latest release offers a smart casual style for...

Reebok Easytone claims are set to skyrocket following Wednesdays ruling by the FTC that their adverts were misleading. Reebok were asked to back up their claims that Reebok Easytone shoes reach the parts other shoes don’t reach, and they were not able to provide sufficient evidence that the claims of 28% more muscle activation in the buttocks, 11% in the things and 11% in the calves is possible in the shoes. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has ordered Reebok to make $25 million dollars available for refunds to customers who feel that they have been misled by the Reebok Easytone adverts, and ...

A Closer Look at Ryn Shoes Many footwear brands have entered into the toning shoe market in the past couple of years, each with their own angle to get customers toning with them rather than the competition. Brands such as the FitFlop have the style, Skechers have the bounce, and Reebok have running shoes pretty much to themselves. Each get their fair share of the sales, but there is one brand which is right at the top when it comes to performance, stability and quality of construction. What’s...

Whilst this blog caters to the US and Canada, I do not want to leave British women without a chance to get hold of some great bargain FitFlop sandals. If you are in the UK, and you have not yet tried out FitFlop this is your chance, and if you already have, you are bound to want some more!The FitFlop features the Microwobbleboard midsole which tones the lower body up to 30% more than standard shoes when walking, and will absorb 22% more shocks than standard summer footwear, making it one of the most comfortable things to have on your feet in the summer. The toning sandals have recently been voted ...

A look at the technology underfoot in the various toning shoes designs, and what the technology does for the body Instability Pods Balance pods in the shoes of Reebok Easytone add small instabilities to the walking gait to which the body subconsciously responds. Correcting the balance involves a wider range of muscles, and activates the muscles for longer, resulting in a 28% increase to muscle activity in the buttocks, and 11% in the calves and hamstrings. Over time, this increase helps to...

They are Britain’s favourite summer sandals, and promise to get the lower body working harder with each step. Billed as the shoes with the gym built in, they were first released in the spring of 2007, and have been a massive hit ever since. The FitFlop is one of a range of toning shoes which works the lower body, but also provides a wide range of wellness benefits. In contrast to most toning shoes which have a rocker bottom midsole to create an unstable base, the FitFlop uses the...

It’s been just three months since Holly Ward started legal proceedings against Skechers for stress fractures in her hips. Now, Skechers are in the news once more; however not for the effectiveness of their shoes, but rather, the ineffectiveness of their marketing strategy. Whilst marketing departments will say “there’s no such thing about bad publicity”, Skechers may feel that the accumulation of bad publicity can become a little wearing. But then again, they don’t exactly make it easy on...

As Britain is bathed in glorious sunshine and the temperatures head up to the heady heights of 20ºC / 68ºF, thoughts turn to summer dresses, sexy strappy sandals, and lazy days on the beach. However, whilst the weather may be improving, there is the problem that accompanies summer and bikinis, and that is the state of the lower body. New Year’s resolutions to get in shape for the summer and to work hard at improving body tone rarely last more than a couple of months, and as soon as Easter...
