Earth Footwear Burns Fat & Calories

Posted by kim on February 1, 2010

It’s that time of the year again when we all (me included) are trying out new weight loss programs to achieve our new year’s resolution or losing a few pounds and inches. So, I’ve been looking into some of the best workout shoes.

Josh Hillis says barefoot is best, followed by Vibram Fivefingers – seriously?! I was thinking more along the lines of checking out the Reebok EasyTones or even the Skechers Shape Ups, until I saw this video about Earth Footwear.

According to a study, people that wear Earth Footwear burn 4x more fat than those who don’t wear Earth Footwear. The secret is in the technology. Earth Footwear uses Kalso ® Negative Heel Technology®, a unique inclined sole that positions the toes 3.7º higher than the heels. The slight angle shifts weight subtly back over the heels, and can help strengthen and tone the body while also burning calories. So if you can’t get to the gym, put on a pair of Earth Footwear and go about your normal routine. The shoes will do the work for you. OR if you want better results with your workout, put on a pair of Earth Footwear to really kick the fat burning into high gear!

Sarah Palin in ASICS Gel-Nimbus 11 Running Shoes on cover of Newsweek

Posted by kim on November 19, 2009

Sarah Palin did a photoshoot for Runner’s World Magazine* wearing ASICS Gel Nimbus running shoes (source).  ASICS ended up winning Runner’s World “Shoe of the Year.”

Newsweek then in turn used a photo of that photoshoot for the cover of their November 23, 2009 issue which is causing controversies, and Palin herself is not happy with the latest cover.

So did Sarah Palin get paid by ASICS for product placement? I’m guessing so because knowing Sarah’s influence on women shoe buyers, the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 11 running shoes are bound to be a hot seller.  Get yours now before they fly run off the shelves…
