RE: OT- Reebok Simply Tone

[Guest guest]

I have a pair (not reeboks' but similar in style) and I LOVE THEM. I was

worried too, since I have RSD and Fibro as well as a herniated disk, but I

would absolutely NOT wear anything else. I don't see this " weight loss "

they've talked about, but the way they fit makes it better for me feet. I

will warn you that most of the ones I've seen have NO traction on tile or

linoleum, and if you walk normally, then going backwards take a little

getting used to. BUT, they are great.

Hi Steve -

I haven't tried them myself, but I've got a perfectly healthy friend who did and

they gave her terrible shin splints!

I have to think that normal walking with normal athletic shoes would be safer.

And despite their claims, no shoe is going to make you lose weight or improve

your shape over and above simple walking. So what's the point? I wouldn't risk

it myself.

Hi,

I have a similar product called " Fitflops " and I swear by them. I am unable to

wear them at the moment as I had an accident and broke my ankle. Nothing to do

with the Fitflops themselves.

My ankle gave out when I least expected it to, Most GP's and Orthopedic doctors

suggest them here, as it is a natural position for your foot to be in.

I know there are a few company's here in the UK that sell " work-out " while you

walk shoes. The ones I got are supposed to make your brain them and if your body

don't like them, then stop using them. "
