Toning Shoe Injuries [jordan fusion]



We've all seen the commercials for pricey toning shoes that promise you'll get in shape fast just by walking in them. Sales of toning shoes totaled more than a billion dollars last year - about three times the year before.More mysteries and new treasure will be discovered in adidas forest hills, and a fantasy world will be presented with you. Consumer Reports Health looks behind the claims.

The commercials for a variety of toning shoes make it look so easy to get in shape.

But, as more people buy them, Consumer Reports medical adviser Dr. Orly Avitzur is hearing more frequently about injuries.

"One patient was breaking in a pair of toning sneakers, and less than 45 minutes after putting them on felt her ankle turn and a bone break," said Dr.Avitzur.

Dr. Buchalter, an orthopedic surgeon, says that's no big surprise. He says toning shoes are intentionally designed to create instability.

"If you take a patient who is elderly or someone who has a balance issue and you put that shoe on them you're looking for disaster," said Dr. Buchalter.

But even younger people complain of problems,for example, the adidas adicolor Women's I96166 Wedge Pump. Made with calfskin and a leather sole with leather lining including the physician's assistant in Dr. Buchalter's office who bought some Skechers Shape-Ups.

"I was scrubbed in surgery, wore them for several hours. Had back pain for probably three or four days," said Kara Lombardo, physician's assistant.

Skechers instructs people to wear the shoes for short periods of time at first to give the body time to adjust. As to the health benefits? The company says two studies it sponsored show improvement in fitness.

But, Dr. Orly Avitzur says another study tells a different story.
