Reebok EasyTones:
Re
ebok has created a shoe that they also believe will make muscles more toned. According to Reebok.com, they use unique balance pods with moving air built into the shoe that provides natural instability with every step, which forces you muscles to adapt and work harder. Their researchers also claimed to have done testing and their lab results show improvements in muscle tone compared to a typical foam based walking shoe. (Reebok)

(Reebok)My question is are these shoes really cut out to do what they are suppose to? Do they really work or is all this 'research' and 'clinical lab testing' just a sales gimmick to purchase the shoes? Or are the results showing because people wear these shoes being a 'trend item' more therefore exercising more? Let me know what you think, or if you have tried either of these before.
