Burn MORE Calories with Every Step

We all know that walking is a good cardiovascular exercise. Just taking a family walk every night, weather permitting, will help burn calories and keep your heart healthier. But what if I told you there was a way to get even more benefits from a simple walk? There is…thanks to the Exer-Fit Shoe Collection from Earth Footwear.

Being the fitness buff that I am, I had the opportunity to review the Exer-Walk and evaluate it’s Kalso Negative Heel Technology. See, that’s how it is able to burn more calories, there is an incline in the shoe (negative heel) so that your heel is lower than your toes. The incline is 3.7 degrees, so every step is like you walking on an inclined treadmill. If you ever used a treadmill, you know that you will burn more calories and build more muscle with it on an incline… but now you have the benefit of this “built-in treadmill” where ever you wear the shoe.

I’ve been wearing these shoes for a month, and been doing a butt-busting routine at the gym for 6 months, but I definitely have seen some nice tone to my quads after I started incorporating fitness footwear into my everyday activities. Now, I wanted the shoes to help build muscle. Since there is a longer hip-to-ankle lever that leads to lean bod mass development – think TONED MUSCLES. I love wearing these Exer-Walks to jog to the gym – perfectly comfortable to run in – as well as do all my normal gym activities while wearing them.

But if you want to lose some weight, you’d want to know that Exer-Walks burn fat up to 4x faster compared to conventional footwear. And the shoes even help build endurance and aerobic capabilities! That’s definitely something every mom needs, the ability to keep up with her kids!

Like I mentioned before, even with the negative heel the shoe is comfortable to wear when running, working out and walking. That could be because of the Anatomic Arch Support, which promotes a natural walking motion. Plus, it has BioFoam Cushioning, which will mold to the shape of your foot, displacing and absorbing shock with each step.

And the shoe is “green”. I mean, you can get Exer-Walk for Women in a variety of colors (like my White/Sky Blue combo), but Earth Footwear is environmentally-considerate, using 70% recycled content for the BioFoam Cushioning. Plus, the shoes are lead-free, glue-free and post-consumer recycled content makes up all of their packaging.

The Exer-Fit Collection is not just sneakers, that just makes up a small portion of the styles available to women (and men). There is also an array of sandals you can choose from. And I love the boots and casual shoes, which also feature a Kalso Negative Heel! Get a load of these awesome, faux fur boots!

So my overall thoughts are that these Exer-Walks are stylish, look like ordinary sneakers, have you burning more calories and are definitely building some mean, lean muscle in your legs. I adore them and they are my must-have shoes for jogging, walking and gym routine!
