These shoes are specially designed to help you lose weight simply by wearing them and going about your normal day.
These are the claims of several shoe companies, and we want to take a look at these special shoes here.
The concept behind these weight loss shoes is intriguing and based on solid experience.
It is widely known that walking or jogging on dry sand is a terrific way to get in shape.
The sand provides a surface that is not solid or even and it forces your body to use numerous different muscle groups than you would normally use than with walking on a normal hard surface.
Professional athletes have known this for years and they typically will stay in shape in the offseason by performing a routine running regimen on dry sand dunes.

Take one look at any of these shoes and they flat out look different than normal shoes.
The first thing you notice is that the sole is designed to look like a rocking chair rocker foot.
It is curved concave toward your foot so that you never have an even surface to walk flat on.

After a while you will start to see your calves and thighs begin to firm up, and they will have a muscle tone they did not have before.
