Background and History of Toning Shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
For years now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the question about toning shoes has been floating around: "Do they work?" I believe they do,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but before that question can truly be answered,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we have to ask what exactly it is that you are expecting from the shoe. After all, different people are looking for different results and what causes one person to say the shoes work might not be enough evidence for the next person. For example,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if you have poor diet and exercise habits and think wearing this shoe while you sit behind a desk at work is going to whip you into shape,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you will probably be disappointed.
For a more realistic idea of what to expect,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I think we should take a look at the idea behind the shoes. One of the first widespread commercially available toning shoes was the MBT which stands for Masai Barefoot Technology. Back in the 90s,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Swiss engineer Karl Muller went on vacation to South Korea. While he was there, his back pain reportedly went away which caused him to look for reasons why. He also noticed that the locals had a lower tendency towards back pain and arthritis.
His reasoning led him to believe that it was tied in with the fact that the farmers in South Korea did their work barefoot. This naturally causes the body to use muscles a bit differently than we do when we wear shoes. It also more obviously changes the impact caused by walking. Add that together with the fact that our society is constantly walking on paved roads,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cement sidewalks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and other hard surfaces that increase the impact on our joints and Karl Muller believed he had found the cause of much of the arthritis our culture struggles with.
Now that he knew the cause,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he was well on his way to finding the solution. He needed to find a way to develop a shoe that would simulate the experience of walking barefoot on a softer and less even surface. To do this, he came up with a shoe that had a layered rubber sole which curved to create a specific amount of instability along with an embedded spring which adds in a little bit of bounce. The resulting shoes cause you to change your gait and even to stand a little bit differently when you are not even moving.
These shoes were not simply designed for the comfort of the feet wearing them like most other shoes are,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Muller went beyond that by designing shoes that are targeted to benefiting the entire body as they reduce stress on the joints while encouraging use of various muscles that may become atrophied as we wear normal sneakers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Some of you may have noticed something a bit odd in the fact that a shoe using what is dubbed "Masai Barefoot Technology" was the result of a vacation in South Korea and not Africa,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Apparently someone in the marketing department decided these shoes would sell better if they attached a picture of a young tribal African to the packaging. It has also been reported that the company has contributed somewhat to helping develop parts of Africa and perhaps that is at least a part of what led to the decision on the name,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Regardless of the accuracy of the name, the original motives for developing the shoes was more to combat joint pain than to create so called "toning shoes." The use of extra muscles to aid in stability seems to have been somewhat of an afterthought, and I am not convinced that they will directly cause any substantial toning by themselves.
