Changing The Look Of Walking Shoes With New Soles

You might do a double take with the newest rage in walking shoes soles in the shoes that make your foot seem to roll through a higher mid-point at the arch.

These shoes are said to improve circulation, tone your legs and derriere and get better benefits in walking, since the shoes emulate barefoot walking in the sand they were originally called earth shoes.

Although earth shoes have been around for decades, they initially weren’t too popular because they appeared to be designed for someone who needed specialty shoes. Invented in the 1970′s ,MBT’s also weren’t considered in style until recently. Now they’re one of the top-of-the-line shoes.

Costing upwards of $150, MBT’s, have been featured in magazines and have been credited for the added comfort for people with knee or lower back problems and for the ability to tone the legs and buns.

Other brands of shoes are following in it’s footsteps. Debuting lines which have been making the same claims of soles that make you feel like you’re walking on the sand are both Reebok and Skechers. Skechers, similar to the MBT’s, does it with a reverse incline and rounded sole, Reebok on the other hand looks more like the traditional shoe with balance pods that allow air to travel underneath the sole of the foot and gives off the same effect.

Aside from the three manufacturers, along with other lesser known brands who make athletic shoes, there are other choices as well. A walking boot version and a version of flip-flops that uses the same technology are produced by a line called Fit Flops. While Reebok’s shoes are more for women and other shoemakers, recognizing other advantages aside from sexier and better shaped legs, MBT also makes hiking boots and sandals.

If you choose to buy this type of shoes, you would be paying more than you would for your everyday shoe, although there are knockoffs available for a much lower price.

Before spending a lot of money, be sure to try them on and walk around as much as possible, or find a store that will take a return if you decide you cannot walk in them. The rolling action in most of the shoes is pleasant, although the balance in some lines such as MBT can be unsettling when you first begin walking in them.

In the beginning, take shorter walks than you are used to. Even if you are fit, this type of shoe will work your muscles in a different way and you may initially be less comfortable with them. You can count on the fact that in time you will see and feel the benefits of this type of sole, whether it is sexier legs or stronger knees, back and core.
