Toning Shoe Injury Lawyer
Falling Injury Risks and Toning Shoes
Toning shoes are advertised by their manufacturers as an easy way to get a vigorous workout without having to go to the gym. What the toning shoe manufacturers fail to disclose is that many of these shoes are not appropriate for all people. For some, wearing toning shoes may result in falls and serious injuries. Popular brands of these shoes include Skechers® Shape-ups, MBT® (Masai Barefoot Technology), Reebok® Easy Tone and New Balance® True Balance.
Toning shoes achieve their work out benefit through the shape of the sole of the shoe. While each shoe takes a somewhat different approach, toning shoes employ an unstable sole shape which causes you to lose your balance. To maintain your balance, your body must then use different muscles than those normally involved in walking or standing. This may not pose a problem for most healthy people. This may, however, present a problem for older people who may have impaired balance or people with other health issues. The instability created by the unstable sole shape may be too great for such people to compensate for, and may lead to falls and serious injuries.
