Why Are Reebok's EasyTone Sneakers For Ladies Only
Who doesn’t want firm buttocks and rock hard thighs? That’s the question men everywhere should be asking Reebok after they became the first major shoe manufacturer to bring out their own leg-toning walking shoe, marketed,miu miu handbags bloomingdales, just like similar shoes before it,miu miu bags discount, only to the ladies. You know the footwear in question--the shoes with the lopsided soles, which force wearers to work a bit harder to walk,miu miu sale bags, toning all the while.
The EasyTone ($100), which launched worldwide this month, has two pods with air pockets centered on the heel and forefoot. The pods are designed to look and behave like the balance balls at gyms (used by both men and women) across the country that intentionally keep the wearer off-balance. The instability requires an increase in muscle activity. As the (female) wearer shifts weight from the heel to the toe,cross body hobo bags, the pods transfer air back and forth. Reebok leveraged its internal expertise with air transfer from their decades of Pump designs in developing the shoe.
The idea of intentional instability isn’t new to the footwear industry, but with Reebok, the technology is finding its way into the mainstream for hte first time. MBT footwear (available for both ######es) has been around for several years with its easily recognizable curved sole that seemingly turns your foot into a rocking chair. Reebok concedes that the EasyTone is pursuing the same ultimate benefit but is quick to point out distinctions. First and foremost,miu miu bags on sale, MBT shoes look different. They market themselves as the anti-shoe and those wearing a pair should get used to the attention. The EasyTone look like any other shoe once on the foot. The Reebok shoe also has two pods,miu miu handbags spring 2011, one in the heel and forefoot, while MBT is designed around one larger pod.
Says Head of Womens at Reebok, Katrin Ley,miu miu handbags spring 2011, “We believe every woman has the right to a nice butt but for busy women,miu miu handbags cheap, trying to fit this into their hectic lives is not an option. Reebok EasyTone allows them to tone as they go about their everyday business.

As is often her wont,leather cross body bags for women, the subject next broke the rules for suggested usage deciding to jog in the footwear. Unlike the walking evaluation,miu miu bags shop online, the subject felt an immediate difference commenting that it was “just a lot harder to run,miu miu handbags summer 2011,” with clear muscular soreness in the calves,miu miu spring summer 2011 handbags, thighs and buttock.
