Energy drink for your feet

So this is kinda cool. The zig zag shape outsole of this Reebok sneaker absorbs the impact of heel strike and sends a wave of energy along the length of the shoe to help propel you forward with each step. “The energy drink for your feet”.

Gym in a shoe

A week ago Reebok sent me a pair of EasyTone sneakers. The stability balls under the heels and forefoot create a natural instability which are supposed to force muscles to adapt and encourage toning. Reebok promises 28% more gluteus maximus muscle activation, and 11% more calf and hamstring activation. Helena Christensens shows of her legs to proof just how effective the sneakers are. So I did some serious power walking in rainy Amsterdam on my EasyTones and actually did feel more muscle activation in my legs & butt. Still a long walk from Helena's legs though...
