Despite the claims, there is no convincing evidence that wearing toning
shoes will make your legs more toned or cause you to burn extra
calories.
Toning shoes are designed to simulate walking barefoot or walking on an
uneven surface. Manufacturers say the unstable design of the shoes
forces wearers to use their leg muscles more — which burns more calories
and tones the muscles. However, an independent study by a nonprofit
fitness organization found no evidence that wearing toning shoes leads
to improved muscle tone or greater energy expenditure. In addition,
there are no studies that prove that they improve balance or stability
to a great degree.
If you like the way toning shoes look and find them comfortable and not
too unstable, there's probably no harm in trying a pair. And if you
increase your activity as a result, you'll benefit your overall health.
