You've probably heard about the shoes that claim to tone your calves, hamstrings and butt just by walking in them. Sketchers makes a pair called "Shape-Ups" as well as Reebok, called "EasyTone". The shoes look like a large wedge and claim to work by creating instability, which makes you work a little bit harder to maintain your balance. But do they really work and can you get a great, toned butt and legs just by wearing a pair of shoes? You know the saying, "if it's too good to be true, it probably is." Here's a great <a href=" http://www.fayobserver.com/Articles/2010/01/25/970579">article</a> that says just that - these shoes are not a substitute for good, old-fashioned exercise. If you want to give these shoes a try, go ahead! But if you really want to get a toned butt and legs, start walking! And don't forget the other wonderful benefits you'll receive from walking, such as improved moods, lower risk for some cancers and many more. No pair of shoes can do that!
