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,

The EasyTone ($100),
discount love bracelet cartier, which launched worldwide this month,
diamond and pearl earrings, 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,

The idea of intentional instability isn’t new to the footwear industry,

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,

Says Head of Womens at Reebok, Katrin Ley,

Leve Bangle Pink Gold, 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. The combination of the balance pod technology and great styling means it’s a shoe they are not ashamed to be seen wearing either.”
Determined, however,

As is often her wont,
