New Balance Toning Shoes in Review

Just as Cinderella did when she slipped her foot into the glass slipper, Onlineshoes.com employees discovered that shoes have the power to transform your life.

In this case, the glass slipper was a New Balance truebalance toning shoe.

Although the transformation may not have involved a prince, a frog or evil stepsisters, it was quite clear that modern-day princesses have no need for a horse and carriage.

After a voluntary two-week wear-test of the New Balance 850 or New Balance 1100 truebalance toning shoes, Onlineshoes.com employees agreed that getting fit is now easier, and more comfortable, than ever.

The Great Reebok Toning Shoe Wear Test

We know what you’re thinking: Can toning shoes really work? To be honest, we had some of the same doubts that you can really tone your leg muscles and glutes simply by hitting the sidewalk and not the gym. I mean here we are talking up all the benefits of toning shoes like Reebok and we weren’t even sure what they could really do.

So we put our feet where our mouth is.

Six of our anxious, and somewhat skeptical, coworkers embarked on a two-week wear test to see how the women’s Reebok EasyTone shaped up.

Walk Yourself to Well-Being with New Balance

I got my first pair of New Balance athletic shoes longer ago than I care to divulge, and I’ve been a devoted fan ever since. As anyone with difficult feet knows, finding comfortable shoes that offer adequate support, stability and motion control AND fit properly can be a challenge, which is one of the reasons New Balance shoes have garnered so many dedicated fans. The company is renowned for offering a wide range of widths and sizes.

New Balance has been a proud partner of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure® foundation since 1989. In 2010, New Balance will donate $500,000 to the cause through its “Lace Up For the Cure” collection. The superstar New Balance 811 walking shoe is one of New Balance’s most popular styles. The Walking Strike Path outsole stabilizes the foot through the gait cycle, while ROLLBAR® graphite technology further enhances rearfoot stability, making the 811 a perfect shoe for the person who spends hours on their feet, whether participating in a 3-day event or getting through a work week.

Resolve to Walk: Week #5

Walking with Dogs

Just for clear disclosure…I want you all to know that I am not counting my daily walks with the dogs. Our dogs, Ruthie and Beatrice, move at such a glacial pace that there is really very little athletic value whatsoever. They are pugs in every sense of the word. If they had it their way, they would never move more than a brief walk from the sofa to the food bowl and back again. They were bred about 2,000 years ago to sit on the laps of emperors…so sitting down and generating heat is their core purpose in life. Clearly they’re not the type of dog that gets their master in shape. But we do love them for their personality.

Resolve to Walk: Week #4

Step out with Peter, Onlineshoes.com’s Executive Family Man, as he walks to better health.

Hi Gang!

My update is that I had a middling week. I walked once during the week BUT I ran once and walked this weekend. So I am still close but no cigar (does anyone really reward people with cigars these days?). Anyway, I am walking TODAY! Yes, Monday, the busiest of all days. I am getting out. It is a beautiful day and I am ready to go. If you see a blur of black and brown going by at roughly the size of a 6-foot-tall human being in downtown Seattle…that’s me.

Some of our readers have commented that they really appreciate walking (running, hiking, etc.) with a buddy. They lean on their buddy for some fun chatter during the walk and for encouragement to get out in the first place. So we thought we would celebrate the walking buddies in this blog by offering a fun and easy contest! Read More
