MANILA, Philippines - This toning shoe is fast gaining a foothold among health buffs. One of the main features of the Skechers Tone Ups sandals lay in the sole construction. Unlike conventional flip- flops that have a flat foot bed, the Skechers Tone Up sandals have a unique mid-step design and a sole with multiple densities. These different levels force the leg muscles to work harder as you walk. The sole design is constructed in such a way as to promote more healthy and toned legs as a result of usually neglected muscles being engaged more so than in conventional footwear.
The Tone Up sandals from Skechers also benefit those with knee or joint issues. The sandals are specifically designed not only to help with toning muscles, but also to absorb more shock than a regular shoe. When walking, a lot of pressure is put on the feet, which then travels up the knees and back. These sandals alleviate this pressure, which is very noticeable almost immediately after walking around in them.
