Walk much? Who doesn't, but are your shoes allowing you to do it properly?

Springboost B-WALK Shoe ($140.00) is a walking sneaker that automatically corrects your posture, just merely by wearing them while walking. B-Walk, is designed for the weekend warrior looking for a waterproof shoe with good grip. The outsole of the shoe has also been studied to provide increased rolling action, lengthening the stride and providing the feel of a light, dynamic walk. This is all done using Springboost's special Dorsiflexion Technology. Anyone who walks for fitness will appreciate the health benefits gained from walking in dorsiflexion (with your foot slightly flexed) such as relieved lower back pressure, straightening of the back, increased blood circulation in the legs and activation of more muscle fibers in the legs and buttocks. The shoes are sold with two sets of interchangeable insoles. One enables users to get used to dorsiflexion with an insole at 0 degrees dorsiflexion, and the other allows wearers to get more out of their walk with a 2 degree dorsiflexion insole.
They are a lot like Earth Shoes in that they promote good walking. They are similar in appearance to MBTs (though MBTs are made on a rocker rather than a decline), but they are a lot less expensive. Buy them from TheTannery.com.

leave it to fitsugar to get me excited about a walking shoe!
1I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, my MBT Shoes. I paid $250.00 for them and I can honestly say it's about the best money I have ever spent.
2These are totally cool, lightweight & stable -- I've been wearing the SpringBoost (the exact ones in the picture) for about half a year now and totally LOVE them. Yes, they work! And have different inserts so that you can adjust the level of your workout/exercise.
There are now a lot of new styles that just came out for this Spring and excellent technical, press and other information I recently found on www.FeetFirstFitness.com.
3These shoes are really cool. Check out the new line up of SpringBoost Shoes for 2009! I really like the Men's City for walking, but if I was a woman, I'd use the SpringBoost Motion for the gym.
